TUF Heavyweights

[AlphaMaleDawg]

starts in mid september. rampage and evans are the coaches. kimbo slice and a bunch of ex nfl players in the house. I've never been so excited about a season before

who else is psyched?

[MuscleScience]

blah

[quarry206]

i was hoping that it would leak who won.. but hopefully it will be a good season..

i think its going to be more of a freak show then a real MMA show.

but fun to watch nonetheless

[lostcause]

not that im basing it on his word, but dana said that this is by far the best season ever and that rashad and page get into a pushing match every time they get in the same room. which is belivable with the amount of trash rashad talks and the amount of crap that rampage doesnt put up with.

heavyweights are always cool bc thier egos are always the biggest. where ever they re from they have always been the biggest and the baddest, so its cool to see them face 15 people who are the same thing. i also like kimbo, he has gotten my respect by coming on the show.

[quarry206]

am i wrong for pulling for kimbo? haha

i don't think he is great, but something about me just wants to see him in the UFC

[AlphaMaleDawg]

I love seeing the big guys mix it up. Those are the strongest dudes so I am more entertained by them

[irish_2003]

they posted the names of the former nfl players on sherdog.....never heard of any of them....they are nobody's......also wasn't lesnar supposed to be coaching soon?

they are strong for about a minute

205 pounders are about the perfect mix of power and stamina. 185 is very close if not on par with them.

[Biohazard74]

Im psyched as well. Also rooting for my hometown boy Kimbo.

[Brown Ninja]

I am also rooting for Kimbo but I think his chances are slim. Funny thing is of all those big bad dudes a chubby guy named Roy Nelson will win the whole thing.

[Brown Ninja]

Wes Simms will also be on the show which should be interesting

you from MIA/Dade?

i'm from central florida but meet kimbo briefly when he came to Orlando once, though i don't think he is a great MMA fighter, i do find him fun to watch..

to me he is no different then some of the old fighters that were avg skilled but fun to watch..

[therecanonlybe1]

the hell with that garbage,,i will not be happy till silva cleans up the light heavy or able to come down to some special contract on a weight agreement with gsp..what is there to look forward now..the dean of mean? white needs to get to work ..fans get bored real fast

Yeah man. I live a few blocks from Perrine. A neighborhood in Southern Miami where Kimbo lives. I actually used to see him all the time at underground activities before he was ever famous. And i must agree that he is fun to watch.

Nobodies?? wtf are you talking about... do you have any idea how hard it is to even get on a pro team. Every single person on a pro squad was the best athlete and football player all through their life...psst, your crazy to say they are nobody's.

Wes Simms will also be on the show which should be interesting

Dude I am so pissed. I was researching the show the other day and came across Wes Sims giving a f-cking spoiler of what happens on the show. I am nice enough to not repeat it here and it could all be b.s. considering the source but then Dana made a statement about it so it must be true. I just wish I never came across it.

thanks for the courtesy. i have a buddy who likes to tell you how every movie ends, and is to dumb to know he is pissing everybody else off.

can anyone find the name and stats of the contestants and post it?

[quarry206]

well i will say that i saw it.. but though i'm not totally doubting it.. for some reason i think its not true.. because dana white made a comment oppsite of that during a talk recently..

i have a feeling they are building up drama..... but i'm not counting out that Wes Sims is lying, but i don't think its totally a spoiler.. maybe just hype

They got Nelson on the show? Very cool he's come a long way. Thats who I will be rooting for....the sloopy fat redneck lol.

I hope you are right Quarry but the only thing that makes me think it is true is that Wes Sims then deleted all of his posts and only he is dumb enough to break a contract that he has signed with a headhunter like Dana White.

honestly i don't really know what to think.. nor do i fully care, i don't want to give away for the people not wanting to know... but.. either way if its true or not, it won't hurt my feelings either way....

and i'm mostly only basing my believe he is still in on a small comment that dana white made, which might be totally me reading too much into something...

who knows

[MER]

They have never had a good heavyweight season which is why you always see 155-205 all the time.
This should definitely bring in some ratings though with Slice.

[gymnerd]

I am also rooting for Kimbo but I think his chances are slim. Funny thing is of all those big bad dudes a chubby guy named Roy Nelson will win the whole thing.

Yeah hes no joke.

[Geezy]

well this should be an interesting season no doubt.

[Brown Ninja]

I have never been actually excited for a season till now. Sounds as if they actually gathered some talent for once instead of a bunch of slap dicks. I'm curious to see how the former NFL players do

thanx man. im actually excited for the first time too. the coaches will make it interesting on top of all of the tallent. rampage is hilarious and they both hate each other. its like tito/shamrock except they arent both past prime douches.

[Tambit24]

John Madsens claim to fame was beating Brock in a high school match??? Watch out for him

[uponone23]

shivers is from my home town.. trains some bjj with us at gracie south.. he is (or was rather) a member of hammer hill.. Super nice guy. Heard he was a stand in for a last minute drop out. Saw him the other day and he had a black eye but no cuts really.
