Man just kill TUF off

So they'll fight in 9 months? Super.

lol wow the ufc has come so far yet it only gets further away from success.

I don't give a shit about TUF but at least that should mean they'll fight, I'm a huge fan of Barnett and I'm pretty sure he will win but Nelson has the kind of power you can never count out and is tough to put away. And neither man is afraid to scrap Phone Post 3.0

So Barnett will be on the shelf for another bunch of months? Stop with the TUF BS already, it was never great and surely everyone's over it by now?

Hello,



 



I read that Josh is going to be filming a movie soon thus delaying his return to the cage. I personally like this Barnett/Nelson match up. I want to say Roy was trying to make this fight happen a few years ago. I anticipate great things from the pre fight talk.

at least Barnett speaks a little bit wapanese but does Nelson? Seems like it could be a mess training people that needs translating.

So the fighters are mainly japanese? Cool, what weightclasses? Phone Post 3.0

Roy Nelson has shown in his own career that he doesn't have much discipline/drive and isn't inclined to listen to advise, hardly the qualities of a good coach in the making. I would feel sorry for anyone that was stuck with him as a coach. A bit like Rampage "Get Up" Jackson" on TUF.

How could the "Let me bang, bro" season slip my mind.... Shame.

I'll tune it to see some jmma Phone Post 3.0

he did fine 5 seasons ago when he was the TUF 16 coach. I forgive you for not having watched it. Not many do. lol



Hendofanforlife,



 



I actually agree with you, isnt that something? :)



I would also like to add that Colton Smith who won was a member of Team Nelson. I remember Roy was very disciplined about his own training and diet because he said he was learning new things from Nick/Nate who were on his coaching staff. I personally think Roy did a good job as coach

Should have done a TUF: Japan vs. Korea with actual Asian UFC fighters as coaches. I'd also like to see them do TUF: Asia vs Europe at some point. Sadly, the whole TUF concept has been played out more than American Idol and every other lame reality show nowadays. Phone Post 3.0

Sweet!

 

The UFC finally found a way to get some Japanese fighters some wins.  Pit them against other Japanese guys.

hendofanforlife -


it will have been 22 months since he last fought

That's his own choice though. He's been doing a ton of other shit and hasn't been In a rush to get back to fighting. Phone Post 3.0

I actually don't mind this at all. A TUF Japan could be pretty awesome. Barnett doesn't seem to be rushing back to the cage and it's probably not a bad idea for Roy to take some time off since he's been a punching bag his last few fights.

Roy is an odd choice, he just got smashed in Japan not that long ago.

Reem/Barnett would have been a better choice. Phone Post 3.0
