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.

Since Season 8 the talent pool has dropped off considerably in TUF, therefore the fights have gotten a whole lot worse.
These Heavyweights don’t hold a candle to anyone in the UFC.
Nelson was not impressive in his victory, and while people are criticizing Dana’s comments about Nelson’s victory, I would have to agree that Nelson was wayyyyyy to hyped about that win. He won the fight, but it doesn’t make him “the king”. Kimbo is not the best talent in the house, we have yet to see the best in the house. (I personally think it may be Brendan Schaub)
Roy Nelson is not going to win TUF, you heard it here first.
TUF is starting to become real soft, I can’t take many more seasons like this one or the last one.
