The Ultimate Fighter 5

The Ultimate Fighter 5

Anyone watch this last night ? I have a feeling its gonna be a good few weeks of television all of them are proper edgey little bastards.

I haven't started watching it yet. I've only seen the first one all the way through cos I always mean to watch it all in a week otherwise I lose track of who's done what. Unfortunately I've got behind (ahead?) of it all and now I know who won each one

well don't spoil it

i'll be tuning in each week

at the end of it BJ Penn and Jens Pulver are having a battle which should be good.

Its canny funny how most of the fighters dont want to be on Jens's team as he's a "nobody".

does anyone know how mucg setanta are charging for the UFC 70 PPV on the 21st April? Ive tried to find it on the net but the setanta website has got my head busted !

I haven't seen any of this series Dan, I was on about Season 1.

Jens Pulver isn't a nobody, he goes way back

his first MMA fight was in 1999 and his first UFC was UFC 22. Suppose he does go back a bit but personally ive never been a fan and he did fall off big style but is somewhat on a comeback.

An interesting fact is that his last loss in the octagon (UFC 63) was against Joe Lauzon who is on BJ Penn's team on Ultimate Fighter 5!!

jens pulver a "nobody"
bj penn
dennis hallman
caol uno
taisho
all defeated by jens...hence the name "little evil"
he left for pride in 2002 and has now returned so will be much better adapted for UFC..
he was training in the voss gym here in holland last year and i watched him many times,he is an extremely violent fighter !!

Im fully aware I was merely quoting what was said on last nights ultimate fighter FFS

if you wanna crunch facts and figures with someone im your man i have every single UFC on DVD...a fan to say the least...

and for the record when he beat BJ Penn it was a fucking disgrace

not the only time BJ has been robbed by the judges score card!!!!

I can't remember it but i do know i was gutted not to se Matt hughes fight at UFC 22

wow that was ages ago...

looking at the box now its when the Ortiz / Shamrock ruck started when Frank laced him

It was tito's t-shirt that started the feud after tito got an even bigger head after beating some of their camp

some might say that isnt possible

so what do you reckon

Matt Serra or Matt Hughes?

lol is there any other kind of fighter?

Hughes would have the upper hand when it comes to strength etc and would probably control a lot of what happens on the ground but serra would probably be getting sneaky submissions in all the time. On the feet I think Serra would do the same as he did to GSP.

someone lying on their back trying to get you in a triangle is a lot less violent than most

have to agree with you there

Matt (Hughes) has got to take it to the ground...although his appaulling loss to GSP may have given him the kick up the arse (mind the pun) he needed to sort his striking skills out.

next in line ??? Josh Koscheck - do not rate this guy yet but his wrestling seems decent...my money was on Diego...fact is anger/trash talk is not the best way to go into a fight Just ask Randy lol

Koscheck is definately one of the top contenders out there he's a beast lol. The diego fight was shite though. Diego wasn't himself like he was against parysian or however the hell you spell it. As for GSP, he was just fantastic in the fight against Hughes and used every kind of strike in his arsenal. Hughes usually takes his time adjusting and getting into the swing of things before dominating but not that time cos there was no way he could work GSP out.
