Ultimate Fighter 3

[Smukatele]

Anybody watch this? I know Team Brass is all about some UFC, so did any of you watch the new episode last night, or did you at least watch the 2 hour UFC marathon before that?

I'm not usually into the Soap-opera reality shows that are out there, but I'm thinkin about makin an exception for one that has Tito and Shamrock goin head-to-head for the full season and in the finale we get to watch the rematch.

I almost watched it but opted for South Park instead.

I watched a bunch of the first season and wasn't impressed.

[itsahak]

unfortunatly, no, I didn't get to see it. Dish Netork pissed me off, so I cancled my service, and as yet havn't replaced it.

I agree Season 1 wasnt all that great, for the first 2 seasons I tuned in at about 15 till the end of the show so i could watch the fight. This season should be better though because this time there are no challenges. They realized that in the first 2 seasons people were able to skate to the semis without having fought and so this time around they are doing everything based on fights alone.

Any bets on whos gonna win the Tito vs Shamrock rematch at the end of the season?

[itsahak]

As much as I like Shammy, Tito will win once again. Shamrock brings tons of experience and skill to the table, but he is still training like he did in 1993, and with guys that are of inferior skill to his. That's why when he gets in trouble, he's a step behind. He's not used to being on the recieving end. Tito brings in Ricco Rodriguez and several other top flight fighters to push him in his training camp. It will end just like the last one. Shamrock should have hung up his fight trunks years ago.

[Smukatele]

I'm gonna have to agree with you on all that. Shamrock even said it himself when he was talking to his team on the show. He did not bring in any ground experts because he is an old-school brawler type. He brought nutrional experts and that kinda thing. When he fights you can see how he won fights back in the day, but things have evolved to much for his old-school style to remain competitive. Not that I'd say that to his face ;) m, hes got a bit of a temper when it comes to givin him the respect he feels is his due...
While were on the subject, wadya think about Silvia vs Arlovski on Saturday?

[itsahak]

I think nothing will change. Arolvski just brings too much to the table. A true complete package.

Never watched ultimate fighter. Can we turn it into an airsoft game. Like 1 on 1 half court matches that the referee helps call or even have the person getting lit up tap out.

[itsahak]

Ha! now that would be fun! Maybe then Matshark would have a "shot" against me!! (Yes, the pun was intended!) And by the way, we don't use a court, we use either a ring or preferably a cage.
