So this week my ability to watch the Ultimate Fighter resulted in watching it without sound at times, and seeing the fight before the actual episode. We got a chance to see Mir’s team doing some intense cardio work with snorkels (Wanderlei style) to make up for Junie’s lack of gas in his fight. It [...]

Reflections on the Ultimate Fighter Week 6 and no more EliteXC
Posted: 22nd October 2008 by Ray McIlroy in MMA, Ray McIlroyComments Off
So this week was by far my favourite episode of the season thus far. There was very little in the way of house nonsense and shenanigans (some, but much less then previously). Following their win from last week Frank Mir comes to celebrate at the house. While there he asks Delgado where he [...]

Reflections on The Ultimate Fighter week 5
Posted: 15th October 2008 by Ray McIlroy in MMA, Ray McIlroyComments Off
Let’s get the end of last week’s episode out of the way quickly. Junie Browning (not Brown, my bad last week) jumps the cage, and nothing happens as a result. Dana says if the head of the NSAC had been there Junie would have been tossed and his license revoked. Seriously Dana? If it [...]

They’ve been talked about, hyped up, analyzed, critiqued, and exhausted to all ends for the past three years, but when it comes to these two all-stars, we can all agree on one thing: that the controversy will be everlasting, just as some of the greatest rivalries in history. On one hand, you have Sidney Crosby [...]

Reflections on the Ultimate Fighter, Week 4. OR The self-destruction of Junie Browning

What can you say about the Ultimate Fighter this week other than it really didn’t help how the public will perceive the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. Junie Browning…what a maniac. Dana White had commented that this season would make Chris Leben look like a angel, and he was right. Junie starts by talking trash [...]
