I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. But I also would'nt be surprised if at least one fighter has to quit because of an injury, or gets sent home because of an injury. I hope not, though. I, too, am interested to see whether the drunk guy actually has what it takes, or if he will get a rude awakening.
Its really great to see that NHB is making it into the mainstream, by having shows like this. ESPN has had a shortened version of the UFC (1 hour) that it showed a few times. Its long overdue that the mainstream public takes notice of this sport and embraces it like us early fans have for years already. The boxing federations have for too many years done their best to eradicate NHB from the face of the earth in order to preserve what they feel is their monopoly on the public's interest (& revenues) in professional one-on-one combat sports.
I, for one, haven't lost my enthousiasm for the sport of boxing, just because I now watch NHB events. I think there's room for both. If boxing should be worried about anything, they should start worrying about how the public's interest may start waning if this B.S. of corrupt judges declaring wins to fighters no matter how the actual fight went. anyhow...


Hopefully, this will be just the first of many more seasons of The Ultimate Fighter!!

Caught the reshowing yesterday. If 11:00 is too late for you, like it is me, go to Spiketv.com and they list reshowings.

Overall I liked it. Watching this show gets me pumped up and motivated to train harder and get in shape quicker.

First episode and already two guys got sitches. One on the chin and the other guy on the forehead... The Canadian guy is about ready to quit...

Not much else to say ecept the physical training is brutal. 3hrs per day. 30minutes spent on the treadmill running.

I thought it was 3 hours 2 times a day. Maybe I'm wrong. 3 hours doesn't seem all that bad. My jiu jitsu class alone is 2 hours straight. I dunno.

Yeah I'll be watching it tonight. The last guy picked is a pussy. I feel bad for him. I feel even worse for "The Natural" to have him on his team. Who knows.... Maybe he'll surprise us though.

It is two sessions per day. First the heavy weights then the lighter guys. Each guy gets 3hrs of training per day...


I think you are wrong about the intensity of their training.
I've studied BJJ at one of the Gracie schools... We spent 80% of the class laying down or sitting. We did train hard but got to rest in between rolling, and 90% of the sparring was done on the mat, intense but you are laying down the whole time.

These guys have 3 hours of intense training! punching, kicking, grappiling, learning takedowns... Throw in a 30 RUN... not a jog... A RUN! and you have a hell of a day ahead of you!

True good point. I remember though even in this episode one of the trainers saying how they were training at first 6-8 hours a day. I dunno. Either way it's tough shit I'm sure.

As far as the decision went I think Randy made the right choice in keeping Chris. So the guy doesn't have the perfect attitude but nobody is perfect. He's just being himself and he's a good fighter. These guys don't know each other and then get thrown in and everyone expects them to be a team. Teams are built through experiences with each other good and bad and that takes time. I didn't like how the other guy was so quick to point out Chris's faults and then lastly make a pathetic speech not talking about why he should be kept there but how Chris should be let go because he dissobeyed the rules.

Can't wait to see these guys go at it.
