The Ultimate Fighter Season 14

[CSL]

Today, UFC President Dana White revealed exclusively to the Underground that middleweight's Michael Bisping and Jason 'Mayhem' Miller will coach the fourteenth installment of the Ultimate Fighter reality show.

Speculation has been spread throughout the MMA world on who would fill the roles, from Chael Sonnen, to Michael Bisping, Georges St. Pierre, Nick Diaz, and more. The position was confirmed to have been gone to Chael Sonnen, but his recent troubles with the California State Athletic Commission seem to have made that impossible.

The 14th season of the Ultimate Fighter is expected to include featherweights and bantamweight, a first for the reality show, and will start filming soon.

The UFC President also confirmed that the two will square off in the cage at a yet to be determined date and event. White said that Miller's scheduled bout with Aaron Simpson for UFC 132 will not take place, but Simpson will get a new opponent.

I used to like Bisping before his first coaching stint on TUF, then i started to hate him (war Hendo).. that being said i will def be pulling for him against that fag Mayhem..

[Kris P Lettus]

Should be an entertaining season also..

[Krimzon7]

Mayhem has a green mow hawk. That's odd enough. I wonder how the bbd crowd translates to TUF views... Solid soundbites from the coaches are in store. I hope the fighters bring it.

[Vastardikai]

I like Mayhem. There are some Pro-Wrestling antics that I'm perfectly fine with being in MMA. Entertaining Trash Talk and Solid Entrances being the extent of it. Let Mayhem be Mayhem and sit back and rake in the cash.

More than that, though. Dana should seriously try to get a version of Bully Beatdown (if it's done with on MTV) onto Spike. It would make for great exposure for his lesser known fighters. I wouldn't put a Brock Lesnar or a Josh Koscheck on there, but someone who is likable, definitely.

War Monkey Cult!

[IC Champion]

I've actually become a Bisping fan.

[Next Big Thing]

I could definitely see Mayhem pissing Bisping off and giving us some good soundbites. Hopefully their interaction is more interesting than Dos Santos/ Lesnars.

[MoFo]

Wouldve preferred Sonnen, but this is also good shit.

[Krimzon7]

Sonnen/lisping could've been gold. Lesnar/JDS have been dull sound byte wise.

[Innovator]

Mayhem on TV for a season, YES.

[Next Big Thing]

Really struggling to get excited for this one. Same tired format and two coaches whose hostilities will be mostly manufactured.

They have got to do something different to make it more than just a bunch of dudes working out in a house stocked with alcohol... who might fight once the entire season.

Let them go out to clubs or bring broads to the house or something. It will at the very least make the interactions a bit more interesting.

WOMENS MMA IN PANTIES

Win.

[sptaz]

I think the fights thus far have been great. With this weight class, there should be plenty of action!!

[MoFo]

I wanted to watch this but its on some bullshit channel over here so I cant get it.

[Corndad]

I have been really impressed with the first two episodes. Then again anything would be more exciting then some of the stuff about the Brock/Dos Santos Season.

[TeRdNuGgEt]

I wanted to watch this but its on some bullshit channel over here so I cant get it.

you can watch it at ultimatefighter.com but you will be a week behind. Better then not seeing it at all i guess :-\

[Reavant]

lovin this season... mayhem is hilarious

[Kris P Lettus]

Yeah, I'm liking Mayhem more and more and Bisping less and less..

I'm so torn..

[Innovator]

It's a shame it has taken people this long to learn about the greatness of Mayhem.

[Kris P Lettus]

He just seemed like such a douche when he fought GSP back in the day.. Then on that horrible MTV show..

[The Mask]

bisping is too slow witted. the wheels thing was brilliant but like whenever they are trading jokey comments back and forth he just comes across all defensive and not funny

[CSL]

lol yeah, love Bisping but he's very much "yr. a dick, let's fight" as opposed to bantering a bit. It's probably a different case with somebody he isn't due to fight in a few months

[Kris P Lettus]

"If yous a man, you meet me in the garden!!'

[Nark Order]

lol. Team Bisping finally wins a fight and the fighter didn't deserve to win. Akira clearly tapped. Dustin's fault for taking it off and not waiting for the ref to stop the fight though.

Also, love how Bisping played the victim card at the end of the fight when Akira is the one who taunted Dustin to begin with. Oy.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Akira, Dustin, and Diego are a bunch of fucking meat heads who need to chill. I'm amazed they didn't catch shit for that crap at the fight announcement.

[Kris P Lettus]

I think Diego is gonna run through that Siler kid..

Kinda feel bad for him..

[Kris P Lettus]

http://www.cdn.sherdog.com/_images/fighter/20090726021353_stevensiler.JPG

He looks scared all the time..

[Kris P Lettus]

Also, Diego trains with Greg Jackson..

[Nark Order]

Didn't Siler beat Cole Miller's brother though? It was expected that he was going to get stomped.

[Nark Order]

BTW, definitely thinking Diego started shit with Siler for absolutely no reason because he thought it was going to be the easiest fight.

[Kris P Lettus]

I thought that last night when they were giving that other dude shit for wanting the easiest fight..

[Next Big Thing]

Loved their trash talk:

"I'm going to make you love me"
"Your going to suck my dick"
"You want to suck my dick"
"I'm going to make you my wife"

[Kris P Lettus]

"If yous a man, you meet me in the garden!!'

^ftw^

[Kris P Lettus]

Diego is a monster..

Hope his cardio isn't as bad as they say..

[Next Big Thing]

^ftw^

That entire exchange needs to be edited into a montage or something. I wonder if they had make up sex after the fight?

I take back what I said earlier. This season has been pretty damn entertaining.

[Nark Order]

With all the talk of Mayhem being some crazy shithead, Bisping is definitely taking the cake in the asshole department this season. What a miserable fuck that guy is.

[Kris P Lettus]

Huge asshole..

And I'm liking Mayhem more and more every episode..

[The Mask]

yeah mayhem seems like a pretty awesome guy :'( i thought bisping was pretty funny this last episode though.

[Kris P Lettus]

jhkmfjkdtyjted

[Kris P Lettus]

Tito isn't the Godfather of GnP..

Mark Coleman is..

:'(

[Next Big Thing]

Diego Brandao is a beast. If he gets cardio, he will be a problem. Same for John Dodson. And they both train out of Jackson's MMA. Not a bad team to work with.

[The Mask]

some of the shit diego was pulling in that training clip with TJ was beautiful. i hope he wins.

[Next Big Thing]

Yeah. T.J. definitely came off looking like a douche in that episode.

[Kris P Lettus]

It was the last episode he first said the pussy shit..

The semifinals are:

Bantamweight semifinal No. 1:
Team Bisping's T.J Dillashaw vs. Team Miller's Dustin Pague

Bantamweight semifinal No. 2:
Team Miller's John Dodson vs. Team Miller's Johnny Bedford

Featherweight semifinal No. 1:
Team Bisping's Akira Corassani vs. Team Miller's Dennis Bermudez

Featherweight semifinal No. 2:
Team Bisping's Diego Brandao vs. Team Miller's Bryan Caraway

My predictions for the finals are:

Bantamweights:
Bedford vs. Dillashaw

Featherweights:
Akira vs. Diego

[Next Big Thing]

I'm starting to like Bisping.

[Nicky Fives]

I don't understand all the hate for Bisping..... Every Coach on the show is an asshole to the other team.....

[Nark Order]

I don't understand all the hate for Bisping..... Every Coach on the show is an asshole to the other team.....

How about illegally kneeing a grounded opponent in the face on purpose to gain an edge and then spitting on that guy's corner men? And I don't care what he says, he spit on them.

He's also one of the most immature fighters in the UFC while constantly preaching about class and respect.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

My problem with Bisping on the show is only that he does the immature shit, and then acts like he doesn't. Like when Akira went over to the other corner after the match and started doing shit, and they got pissed, and Mayhem threw water, Bisping acted like they did nothing and it was all Miller.

Also, if I was Akira, I'd be sort of pissed at Bisping since he couldn't train the one day before the fight since Bisping's "prank" made the gym unusable.

[Next Big Thing]

Jesus christ! If they take their time with Dodson he could be a big star. He's got the personality and style for it.

[Kris P Lettus]

He's 4'7"..

[Next Big Thing]

He's the same height as Demetrious Johnson and those two put on more entertaining fights than the current champ in that division.

Brandao is a beast too.

[SuperSlim]

Brandao is the guy to watch. He has been completely dominant in the TUF. scoring KOs left and right. He has the potential to be something big.

[Next Big Thing]

This might be the first TUF card I've been excited for in awhile. I want to see Dodson whoop T.J.'s ass and Brandao go beast mode. Plus Miller/Bisping should be good, although I feel like Bisping's a huge step up in competition for Mayhem and wouldn't be surprised if he TKOed him.

[Mr. JL]

It should be a good fight and I can't wait for Mayhem to defeat Bisping.

[The Mask]

having the coaches fighting on the card is way better than what happened before. really glad they did that :'( even though i can't watch :'(

[Nicky Fives]

I hope that prick Dillishaw gets his ass kicked....

[Crimson]

Ferguson/Yves shoulda been closer than 30-27 wtff..good fight

[Corndad]

Holy crap that submission

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I was ecstatic when Dodson one, and that doesn't even begin to compare to my reaction to Diego's armbar. Holy fucking shit.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Miller may be done, he's gassed pretty bad in the 2nd.

[Mr. JL]

Crap Bisping won. That ruined my night.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Eh, you can't say he didn't deserve it though. He looked crisp, and he has great cardio.

[Mr. JL]

Yeah for sure he earned that victory. He could have just layed on Miller landing pot shots but he made sure to get himself in position and land good enough shots to get the refs attention to end the fight. You could tell he was fairly gassed out as well.

I was really pulling for Mayhem in this fight so I'm a bit disappointed he couldn't find a way to win. Maybe it was just the pace of the fight but Mayhem gassed pretty early on. Probably something he should evaluate.

[Next Big Thing]

Brandao and Dodson... Damn. I still think Diego needs a bit of polishing before he's ready for the big boys, but he's a beast when it comes to lower level competition.

[Mr. JL]

Brandao and Dodson... Damn. I still think Diego needs a bit of polishing before he's ready for the big boys, but he's a beast when it comes to lower level competition.

Dodson walked thru his competition and made it look easy.

I agree with Brandao needing polishing. He got caught recklessly storming in and he nearly paid for it. With the right kind of fighter he would have been put to sleep. But holy fuck MONSTER arm bar finish out of nowhere. Very explosive dangerous fighter.

[Vastardikai]

I wonder if the lay-off had something to do with it.

[Next Big Thing]

I wonder if the lay-off had something to do with it.

I think he's not as good as everyone wanted him to be. He has a great personality, but as a fighter his biggest accomplishment is almost beating Jake Shields.

I'm almost tempted to say it was the whole Octagon jitters/first fight back in the UFC adrenaline dump thing, but it's not like he was going against GSP in Toronto for the Welterweight strap. It was at the Palms in front of 80 drunks. He's fought in front of much bigger crowds. Didn't seem to bother Nick Diaz too much either and he had a whole shit storm around him.

Even the lay-off isn't that great of an excuse. Chael, Rashad and Big Nog were off just as long or longer than he was and they decimated their opponents when they came back. If he was the real deal, he still may not have won, but he wouldn't have been dominated the way he was either.

I feel like Bisping was a huge step up from the last cans Miller crushed in Japan/Strikeforce and dude got exposed.

[weather vane]

Who is next for Bisping?

Stann? Maia?

[Nicky Fives]

I still don't understand all the hate for Bisping..... Americans just hate him because he isn't American..... the guy is a beast.....

[Nark Order]

How about illegally kneeing a grounded opponent in the face on purpose to gain an edge and then spitting on that guy's corner men? And I don't care what he says, he spit on them.

He's also one of the most immature fighters in the UFC while constantly preaching about class and respect.

[Nark Order]

Also, he has yet to win a fight against somebody who isn't an upper midcard fighter. Everytime he faces one of the top guys, he gets waxed. The three biggest opponents he has had in his career are Henderson, Wandy, and Rashad. He lost all of those fights.

[Crimson]

Bisping? Beast? lol

[weather vane]

I love Bisping and think he is underrated...

[Mr. JL]

I wonder if the lay-off had something to do with it.

I'm sure it did not help Mayhem, but we have seen several fighters come off long layoffs and they did not gas out after Round 1.

I thought it was interesting though that even Bisping had his hands on his knees after Round 1 before he walked over to his corner.

I really want to go back and see how many body shots Mayhem took.

[Next Big Thing]

To be fair to Bisping, the Rashad fight could have gone either way, Wandy was close and getting your shit rocked by Hendo isn't really something to be ashamed of.

Outside of Anderson and Chael, most of the 185ers are upper midcard.

I think a re-match with Wanderlei if they want a "name" opponent or a fight against Maia make the most sense right now for Bisping.

[weather vane]

Bisping said it isn't somebody he has fought before...

[RP]

I forgot which fight it was cause I was drunk, but there was one where a guy was getting horribly beaten and I thought he could have been killed, seriously and the ref was not stopping the fight. I was fucking offended to be honest. I couldn't believe they aired it. Total black eye to the sport.

[Mr. JL]

Yeah, that was AWFUL. Guy was completely out on his feet and had been rocked at least 5 times and was only managing to stay up/roll around into even more punishment. I am all for giving a guy a chance to recover because I hate early stoppages, but when the fighter is recovering only to be rocked each time you step in. That fight should have been over 10-15 seconds before it was actually stopped.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Are you talking about Diego's last fight before the finale? Where the guy was obviously out on his feet, took some hard shots including a head kick, couldn't even stand up right, and finally got knocked out on the ground? Yeah, that was bad.

[Next Big Thing]

Mazzaghatti really does suck as a referee.

Bisping is fighting Maia on the UFC on Fox 2 card by the way. Not a bad lineup.

[RP]

That's the one. That was an embarrassment. Seriously thought that white guy might be killed.

[The Naitch]

any clips of said fight? I tried but can't find it

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Just watched the end of it too... Dear god. Don't know why that wasn't stopped sooner. Fights like that is what'll end up giving MMA a bad image when it hits the mainstream.

[Next Big Thing]

It's Mazzaghatti. He has a highlight reel of fucked up calls or times where he's let a guy get pummeled for way too long.
