To say that if someone doesn't take a fight then that makes him a bitch isn't always true...if you are seriously injured, if there is a contract or money dispute, or if the guy isn't qualified enough to be worth fighting and you already have a better fight lined up...that is just a normal part of MMA business.

But to go on a MMA reality show where you know in advance who all of your potential opponents are going to be...and then turn down a chance to be in the semi-finals for any reason when you are physically able to fight is a pretty dumbass thing to do....regardless of who you are going to fight or how many times you've lost.

You came there to fight and got paid to fight....not to whine and go running home FFS.

After all...not just in the ufc - but in all of the different MMA organizations - they are lots of guys that took a fight when they were first starting out knowing damn well they were coming in as a huge underdog...and pulling off a win that surprised everyone and advanced their careers.

Besides...who got more respect and was the better man...Ross for stepping up and taking the fight unprepared knowing he had already been beat by Bisping once (just before the show started taping back in his home country) and he probably didn't have much of a chance...or the other guys for whimping out for BS reasons?

That's probably why Dana is taking a break from having new green fighters on TUF and is using experienced guys that have already fought in the ufc in season 4.

At least by having people that have already been in the ufc and aren't known as whiners or quitters...there shouldn't be any more wimping out and the matches just might be a little more worth watching.

This reminds me of that crap reality show Vince used to have on MTV - "Tough Enough"...and what a bunch of clowns some of those people were...lol

And where are they all now...probably still parking cars or waiting tables...lol

They don't get paid unless they stop there opponents on the show and what was wrong with Tough Enough?They're not all parking cars.Mike Mizanin is now on wrestling.Josh from season1 does interviews and sometimes commentates,Chris Nowinski had a contract with wwe in the past,Maven has had some success in the WWE,Nidia's had success in the wwe,shaniqua(can't spell)used to work with the wwe,Jackie Gayda works for TNA now,Matt Morgan has had lots of success in the WWE,and that one small girl from season 1 now works backstage.

Dude..you just made my point.

Not one of them are worth a damn in the ring , making any serious money, or holding any titles as a wrestler...lol

And while Vince was wasting money and time on them...lots of unrecognized talented poeple were starving...just waiting for their chance that never came.

The same is true for TUF in the ufc...there are a lot of better guys that should have got a chance to step up and prove themselves on a PPV.

Hell...there are even a lot of female fighters in MMA that deserve a chance more than some of the guys that have been on that show.

If Dana wants to get some serious ratings...why doesn't he have an all women TUF and put females on a ufc PPV?

I've seen some pretty bad-ass female fighters that could probably kick some of the guys from TUF's ass...lol

What are you guys...dinosaurs?

That attitude about women stopped being usable a long time ago.

You guys know that there are women pilots flying fighters in the gulf and working in combat units risking their lives every day right now.. right?

You also do know that there are good looking talented women pro wrestlers that don't do any gimmick matches, don't have huge ugly fake boobs, and don't wrestle in mud or in their underwear...right?

To say that any natural looking women athletes can't compete and aren't worth watching is BS....get a grip.

And to say that there aren't any decent looking females out there that have any serious MMA skills is also pretty damn lame.

It's seriously a shame that too many sports organizations are all male-dominated by owners and managers that still think women don't belong competing in any sports or don't belong in any sport organizations....except as dumb fake bimbos that are only good to be used for eye candy.

Reality check boys - not everyone likes to see women with fake collagen inflated lips, fake phony-looking silicon boobs, phony blonde dyed hair, botox and surgically altered faces caked in makeup, with fake fingernails and fake eyelashes, with a fake sprayed-on tan, looking and acting like cheap hookers or wannabe porn stars.

Some guys like women that are intelligent, well educated, physically fit, well-toned, and that are accomplished competitive athletes...and look good naturally - not like phony plastic barbie-doll wannabe's....FFS

With neanderthal attitudes like you guys have - you guys must never get laid unless you pay for it....lol

Hey girlfriend don't get me wrong, I'm all for the crap you spewed, but throw them in mud or jam is all i;m saying!

i don't have a problem with it as long as the girls still find time to wash my dishes.

Ha Ha Ha...you guys crack me up!

Go check out some of the fine looking ladies that compete in athletics and say that to their face.

But when you do...please let me know so that my 200 pound, 6ft 2in combat veteran's ass can can be there to see the look on your face when you get humbled by a real woman.

When you want to find a woman to be there for all of the crap that life throws at you...and to help you settle down and raise a family in this crazy-ass world we live in...good luck with your little plastic Barbie Dolls boys.

Me...I'll stick with my lady that goes to the gym and works out with me...and I know I can depend on - because no matter what happens....I know she's got my back.

Like I've always said:

Real men have real women.

Little boys play with little toys....lol
