Ultimate Fighter - Team Carwin Vs. Team Nelson - Episode 1 - Live Thoughts

Going to be posting my thoughts on it throghout the night, can't wait for this season to start.

Dang, this Waters guy knocked that guy out flat, I actually liked his personality so he should be a good guy on the season, took about 15 seaconds for the KO.

Weird tat by the blonde haired guy, has a start tat around his nipple, looks odd.

Welp weird nipple tat guy knocks out guy withing about 1 minute and 30 seconds, looks like he's in better shape and deserves it. Good KO.

Red trunks came out to swing and so Blue guy try to take it down, now they're clinch it, but super agressive, constant work, entertaining clinch work. Now blue guy has got his back, but red guy is standing, red guy turns around, almost gets a standing guillotine, blue guy barley escapes. Now red guy turns him against the fence, both are fighting a hard, entertaining fight in the clinch. Red guy clipped him, but blue guy slipped at same time, red guy gets a super tight guillotine and taps him out. Great fight!!

I like the short designs all these different guys are wearing. Now time for "pretty boy" Vs. "Old Fella" Start swinging until Old Fella clinches it, pretty boy is keeping it up and breaks away. Pretty boy knocks him down flat and Old Fella stays in it, he tries to get a leg lock, but as old fella is working his way up he gets clipped and knocked down again and it's stopped by TKO, good stoppage.

Diego Bautista Vs. Julian Lane, It's Herb Dean as Ref. They're just showing the highlights Seems like it wasn't a very good fight, but Julian won.

Cortez "Crazy Cowboy" Coleman Vs. Igor Arujo, again highlights. Looks like Coleman took him down and got some good ground and pound, Igor does good the second round, forcing a third round, he had been gassed and so he was caught in a triangle, Dana thinks Cowboy should have won the fight, but he gassed.

James Chaney Vs. Jerel Clark. Herb Dean is the ref again. Chaney pulls guard real quick, must be confident. He traps the right arm quick for a omaplata, switches to a triangle, switches to an armbar, switches to another triangle. Some good jiu-Jitsu and transitions. He taps him out. He looks like a little Stefan Struve. Chaney wins.

Zane Kamaka Vs. Cameron Diffley, both these guys are undefeated. Diffley was a coach for Forrest Griffin's team when he had his season Vs. Rampage. I'm hoping for Diffley to win it. They feel each other out, not many shots thrown, Diffley goes for and gets a takedown, Kamaka tries a guillotine and Diffley gets out of it, now Kamaka switches on top. Diffley sets up a triangle, then goes to a armbar and almost rips his arm off. He was Forrest's jiu-jitsu coach so he would get the win by sub.

go to chat..

I like this Nos energy drink commercial with the cocky fighter getting KO'd. Dana, Roy, and Shane all have a Nos energy drink beside them.

Frank Camacho Vs. Neil Magny. I think I want Camacho to win this one, seems like a cool guy. No touch of gloves. Camacho comes out swinging big and so Magny goes for a takedown, Camacho easily stuffs it, he lands some hard chest bumps or I forget what they're called. He lands some good shots, Magny gets back up and takes Camacho down who gets right back up. In 2nd Magny gets Camacho down, who gets back up and then gets taken back down. Camacho puts his mouthpiece back in as Magny is punching him. They start swinging, great fight. They skipped a little bit of the fight, not a lot. Now it's in the third round. Now they touch gloves. Magny is showing more energy and productivity. Camacho takes him down and lands in a guillotine attempt, but Magny escapes. He gets Camacho's back, now he rolls over and is in mount, and again has the back. Magny has taking control, Ilike this kid more than I though. Camacho with another guillotine attempt and Magny escapes and shows ground and pound, great cardio. Gets mount and is trying to finish by TKO. Magny showed up and gets the decision. Great fight.

wow what a come back man, very nice. he did a great job and deserved that victory..
im interested in this next fight man i want that pink mohawk to lose..

what an idot tho tryin to put his mouth piece back during a fight.. lol

Ricky Legere Jr. Vs. Jon Manley. Highlights again, looks like they bang for a few minutes, then turns into a wrestling match. Dana: "Oh Roy, you're wrong." Manley wins the wrestling match, he might have been more careful because he needed it more.

Didn't get to see their names, the guy in red seems like a douche, his name is Colotn, faked like he was going to touch gloves then went for a takedown.

He looked like he didn't even care either, just kept eating the punches and put it in.

LOL

and yea he said he wanted to get into the house and repersent the military.. lol he sure did repersent them by goin to touch gloves and takin him down like a pussy

Matt Secor Vs. Max Griffin. No touch of gloves. Griffin sprawls a takedown and Secor trys to turn it into guard. Secor tries 2 more takedowns and Griffin shows fantastic defense, blocking them and reversing on top. Secor has a tight leg lock, but Griffin gets out. Secor is all wrestling and jiu-jitsu. Griffin seems very versatile, he's gotten out of about 3 really good sub attempts, blocked all his takedown and reversed a lot of them. Is trying to finish, looks like he almost had a rear naked choke wrapped up at the end of the round. Now, commercial

Round 2, rooting for Griffin. Secor shows really horrible spinning back kicks, he has bad standup it seems. Secor ends up actually getting a takedown, Griffin tries to cage walk. Secor gets the mount, looks like he was raising his legs for a armbar, but Griffin defends. They shortened showing the whole thing. Third round now, block the takedown Griffin. Griffin sprawls, but to far back and Secor gets the mount. He's landing some shots, he reverses into a wicked armbar and Griffin gets out, great defense and heart, those have to hurt bad. Griffin is on top, Secor locks in a triangle and he finally taps him out, well deserved, he perservered through.

David Michaud Vs. Eddy Ellis. I'm going to guess Michaud wins because they had him on one of their Ultimate Fighter Ads.

Highlights, they have an undefeated guy vs a guy that 17-15. Looks like Ellis did good though, he is that 17-15 guy. It's hard to tell everything that went on, Ellis got him in a odd looking arm triangle to flip him over and get the sub. I guess I was wrong, good sub.

Saad Awad Vs. Joey Rivera. Highlights, looks like a good brawl, apparently second fight is a wrestling fight. Joey Rivera wins.

Nic-Herron Web Vs. Tim Ruberg. Ruberg comes out throwing two big haymakers, then clinches it up and gets a throw to be on top. He's trying to separate, but can't, he looks like he wants it. He's not doing much, not getting a lot of separation, Web had a split second to throw up a triangle, but didn't take it. There were some fights they just showed highlights of, that looked really exciting while they're showing all of this one. Decent ground work, but still. Web is working for a kimura now with Ruberg in his half guard. He tries to turn it into an armbar. He gets it and makes him tap, I'm guessing they showed this one because it was one of there quicker finishes.
