I understand kickin Jeremy off the show.. what he did has nothin to do what im talkin about, what he did is a violation because of leakin info and thus why he was kicked off

my only problem with that is how Dana said it, it was like he was talkin to a kid.

You still dont get it? Look at it from what they're getting as opposed to what they're not. It has nothing to do with leaking who won. Hell these shows were filmed months ago. If it had something to do with who won then the fighters would be kept in a house until all the shows had aired. These people get to follow a dream and they get offered an environment where they have the best chance to get their dream.

I understand that I just dont see what difference it makes. Do they even get to read this time?

My opinion is that they should be judged on their fighting ability alone, not on any other weird/stupid habits.

Shonie is an idiot, so what.
Tank is a drunk, so what.
Monzon is Anarchist, so what.
Tito is a big-mouth, so what.

I watch this show (and UFC) in general to see great FIGHTERS.


I don't get judged at my job for my extracurricular activites.. and you probably don't either.

Wouldnt be much of a reality show if all the guys did at home was watch tv. Not having anything to do makes them talk to eachother alot and helps to add tension in the house.

Yeah, but if one guy jumps the fence, than all of them will want to do it. They need them to stay in the house for footage I guess...

it shoulda been done tournament style for a title shot, it shouldnt be a comeback show cuz all these guys should be in the UFC especially when Danny Abbadi is fighting on a PPV.

I don't understand things like that....the real purpose behind this show is confusing to me at times...especially when danny is fighting at ppv's...

The reason that they don't have TV or radio in the house is that it makes for a bad reality show. Who wants to watch a reality show where everyone is just sitting around and watching TV or listening to the radio?

I agree with that

but I still think they should atleast be able to read.. why does the show portray them to be like caged animals? always showin ppl goin crazy because of the house rules and such.. ya it makes good television but still these guys are veterans that shouldnt even need to be on this show to be in the UFC! they shoulda took a different route, I would of much rather see rivalries spark then ppl goin crazy in the house.

What they really need is TWO fights per show.

Last night's episode sucked ... 54 minutes of contrived drama then a 92 sec fight !!

With two fights per show, we could do double elimination, or invite more fighters.

Noone has everything they want where they work, I don't, most of my friends don't, and i know none of my employees do. But we do it because its our job. All those guys signed up for a little hardship, alot of work and a chance to be a champion.

Maybe the guys on the contender get treated a little better but how many have fought for a title? None that I am aware of. These guys are getting a shot at the title and all the perks that come with it. Endorsements notoriety etc. they should deal with it with a smile.

earlier afro said steve forbes was a former world champion

also, sergio mora, the winner of the last season of the contender, is getting a title shot. He is also rumored to be fighting jermaine taylor this spring...although I don't see that going well
