Can't seem to find any odds for Latifi atm but your right could be worth a little wager and if he does manage to beat Mousasi a 4 fight win streak and win over a top 10 LHW will be a pretty good motivator for him.

Comes accross a nice guy in this, im sure clever TV editing makes him out to be worse than he is at times.

It missed the first 22 mins for me on VM but I saw both fights, it then went to an advert break and cut off. Bubba was pathetic. He took someone else's potential path to glory away from them and has no place in the UFC. Reason he's never been a fighter after all these years is that he's not a fighter. Way too much glory being put on Uriah too.

this is 100% awesome. Why wasn't it shown on TUF

I was thinking about this last night and you’re right about Bubba. Jon Jones said he is a really good training partner and he can’t understand why he hasn’t made it before now, well I think most of us know why after watching his performance both in and out of the Octagon in TUF. He is clearly lacking that warrior spirit that separates the top fighters from the rest.

The first fight last night was interesting in that Jimmy, the BJJ guy, had his spirit broken by not being able to dominate his opponent on the ground. As soon as the other guy got him down he realised he was on a beating to nothing and just quit.

Uriah’s KO was fantastic and brutal. Still I think Sonnen went a bit overboard by telling him that he is a contender, not for TUF but for the MW title. I seem to remember Uriah looking fairly ordinary in his last fight until that kick so I’ll hold judgement on him until after the TUF finale, assuming he gets there

It's a shame that Josh comes across as such a knob as I really like his fighting style.  Jimmy was disgraceful.  How was that fight not stood up by the ref?  He was doing nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  I had Josh winning that round easily.

Lay and pray dicks like him are why TUF isn't as popular as it could be in my opinion.

Bubba is a joke.  I know editing plays a part but he came across as the world's biggest pussy.  The punch didn't even seem that hard (it was a bit like the one Silva knocked out Griffin with).

Dana calling it as it is - his usual brash style.
