Is TUF 10 the worst yet?
I have to hand it to the UFC. They are top notch MMA promoters & marketing geniuses but TUF 10 has sucked bad so far. There were no fights to get on the show. Besides a few football players, Kimbo & Nelson…no other fighter has been covered on the show. Maybe none of those guys have a personality or maybe none of them like to get drunk & do stupid shit?
Last nights “Biggest UFC Fight Ever” should now be called the “Biggest Flop”. Granted Nelson did what he had to in order to pull of a win but the submission specialist couldn’t pull off a sub on a guy that has no clue what to do on the ground. There were a few people on Twitter claiming Nelson didn’t want to sub Kimbo. I can remember an arm bar attempt along with what looked like a D’arce choke attempt as well a possible kimora attempt but most people wouldn’t know that unless Joe Rogan told them so. A BJJ black belt can’t submit a “street fighter”?
Kimbo’s stand up game is supposed to be his strength. He looked like he was holding back the whole fight for fear of Nelson shooting & taking him down. They showed Kimbo sprawl over & over in training but he must have forgot how to do it when the bell rang. He had the reach advantage & could have easily created space but he didn’t. Nelson was not the aggressor in this fight by any means.
Immediately after the loss they show you Kimbo may get a 2nd chance to keep you watching. Who would want to see that all over again? Maybe he’ll get a KO & people will jump right back on the band wagon. He has been in MMA for over 2 years now. I saw improvement in his take down defense but he doesn’t know what to do on the ground & he forgot the basic boxing fundamentals.
This season of TUF 10 has been the worst one yet in my opinion. I’m hoping we get to see a few decent fights being that this is the most watched season to date.
If last nights episode was the first one you have seen, will you watch it again? If I didn’t love the sport…I wouldn’t.
