TUF: Jones vs Sonnen
 
Quote:

The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen is an upcoming installment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)-produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1">[1]</sup>
The series was officially announced by the UFC in October 2012 with current Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones coaching opposite Chael Sonnen.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-JonesvsSonnen_2-0">[2]</sup> The two coaches are then scheduled to meet in a title fight on April 27, 2013 at UFC 159.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-JonesvsSonnen_2-1">[2]</sup> This move drew considerable criticism from MMA critics and fans alike, as many felt Sonnen - who had previously lost his last match - had not done enough to earn a title shot.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3">[3]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4">[4]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5">[5]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6">[6]</sup>
This season will be the first to air on Tuesdays, after The Ultimate Fighter: Live and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson's failure to generate the desired ratings for FX on Friday evenings.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7">[7]</sup>
Amped for this can't believe its starting so soon.

Glad its not live :y:

Wanna see that guy who puts all his opponents in hospital, better not be all hype.

Sonnen and Jones have been a bit too "matey" with each other from wat Ive seen tho.

They will swerve Silva and double power bomb him through the spanish announce table.

Next Big Thing 01-11-2013 10:01 AM

I feel like this show will be no different than previous seasons. I don't think Sonnen/Jones will have the "drama" because Jones won't get caught in it and we've heard Sonnen's gimmick many times before. If it was Sonnen/Rampage as originally planned, I think Chael would definitely be able to elicit a reaction due to Rampage's reactionary nature and that alone would be great television.

The House Hospitalizer sounds like promoter talk from Dana. Diego Brandao was that same sort of beast during his season and had people not wanting to fight him either, Dana just didn't hype him as such.

Kris P Lettus 01-11-2013 08:34 PM

Brandao's cardio and grappling were suspect..

Savio 01-22-2013 08:06 PM

I am guessing Dana will be bleeped out a total of 13 times tonight.

Krimzon7 01-22-2013 11:42 PM

how was the episode??? Totally got caught up in work, FML.

Savio 01-23-2013 09:12 AM

Good ep, some good looking prospects Jones 3rd pick called out Sonnens first pick for the first fight. Dana white was cursed about 25 times.

Savio 01-23-2013 09:36 AM

4th*

Krimzon7 01-23-2013 05:48 PM

watching the episode in a few minutes. can't wait

Kris P Lettus 01-23-2013 11:04 PM

I loved the changes they made, making it more like a documentary.. Also love how they are shooting the talking heads, front lit (with a Kinoflo Cameo #filmnerd) and how it falls off to black..

Prolly the best episode of any season of TUF..

Savio 01-24-2013 08:50 AM

Not even close....:wtf:

Kris P Lettus 01-24-2013 10:30 AM

Lets just film the fighters getting drunk and destroying shit and crying as opposed to actually making a documentary about the fighters and the tournament..

I need Junie Browning in my life..

Kris P Lettus 01-24-2013 10:30 AM

*:roll:

Savio 01-24-2013 10:39 AM

Maybe the best first episode ever, I liked that they allowed the families of the fighters see their first fight but it definitely was not the best episode ever

Kris P Lettus 01-24-2013 10:26 PM

I am talking about the whole new style of the show.. I realize Bobby Southwood calling a drunken Leban a "fatherless bastard" and Leban destroying everything in sight drunkenly, at the time, was amazing, but I really like the new direction they are taking the show and feel that this style of film making would have made it a much better show than it has been..

CSL 01-24-2013 10:35 PM

yeah, this was definitely the "best looking" episode of the show. Was almost Hard Knocks good

Kris P Lettus 01-24-2013 11:12 PM

They are taking a much better approach.. It's like a documentary crew is covering this semi-pro MMA tournament, not a reality show..

The only thing that could have made that episode better was if <s>Leben was drunk for his Koscheck fight......</s>Lebens fight with Koscheck was remotely entertaining.

Kris P Lettus 01-25-2013 09:09 AM

Leben lying abut the doctor ok'ing him to fight after he tore off his knuckle destroying the door was prolly my favorite TUF moment ever..

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 01-30-2013 02:50 PM

I really like the new direction they've taken with this series. It reminds me more of shows like The Apprentice, rather than the general reality TV garbage.

whiteyford 01-30-2013 03:04 PM

Genuinely hate the gobby twat on Team Jones that seems to think he knows everything.

Yeah, I'm assuming Jones or Mir are going to set him straight at some point. Because he's going to be the guy that is going to get other guys to blame Jones when they don't win.

Savio 01-30-2013 06:32 PM

ugh forgot about thissssssssss

Kris P Lettus 01-31-2013 09:38 PM

Next Big Thing 02-06-2013 10:05 AM

That was hard to watch, tbh.

Is Uriah the monster Dana White was talking about? His only losses are to Weidman and Philippou, who are beasts in their own right.

Kris P Lettus 02-06-2013 10:44 AM

Dude looks legit.. His striking to top notch, his clinch looks sick, and his footwork looks amazing..

Innovator 02-06-2013 11:17 AM

Seriously his knees and kicks looked to be above the normal TUF level of striking.

Kris P Lettus 02-06-2013 01:05 PM

Even better that he is a genuinely nice guy even though he is a stone cold killer..

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jNMxOtLMcy0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Crimson 02-06-2013 01:42 PM

Yea this guy looks like future title holder. I'll be surprised if he isn't the winner in this.

Krimzon7 02-07-2013 06:36 PM

Seriously, there are a couple really REALLY Solid fighters in this season. I'm geeked to get my internets back.

Black Widow 02-11-2013 08:03 AM

Uriah is a beast reminds me of anderson silva.

Kris P Lettus 02-12-2013 09:00 PM

it's starting

Kris P Lettus 02-12-2013 09:05 PM

Bubba is such a punk.. Casey is a legit Gracie BJJ Black Belt.. Bubba thinks King's weak cause he got smashed by Matt Lindland in his one big fight in Strikeforce but as I said, King is a legit grappler..

Kris P Lettus 02-12-2013 09:14 PM

Oh yeah, King has a rap video with Spencer Pratt on youtube..

Kris P Lettus 02-12-2013 09:50 PM

nasty vagina cut

Innovator 02-12-2013 09:59 PM

Bubba is "mad" annoying

Savio 02-13-2013 08:57 AM

Glad team Jones got the win, was getting worried for a moment

whiteyford 02-14-2013 05:29 AM

Want to see Bubba get knocked out.

Innovator 02-14-2013 09:37 AM

If Bubba wins, I hope he gets Uriah in the next round

Kris P Lettus 02-14-2013 10:09 AM

kinda ready to see that Clint dude.. He looked good in the prelim fight..

Savio 02-14-2013 11:26 AM

Time Warner OnDemand is retarded they should make last weeks episode be available BEFORE this weeks is shown. Had to stream last weeks about 2 hours before the show since it was not available on TWC yet.

whiteyford 02-14-2013 01:43 PM

There's a bunch of the guys on Team Jones that come across as right cunts, dunno if it's been edited that way or they're playing the heel for more tv time. Sonnen is coming across as alright, wasn't a fan of him before.

Kris P Lettus 02-14-2013 07:35 PM

That's Josh guy is the worst, though.. Atleast when Bubba talks shit, he does it openly in peoples faces.. It seems every talking head Josh does, he is talking mad shit about everyone.. I hope so one hears him and he gets exposed for being a punk..

whiteyford 02-15-2013 07:04 AM

Was he the guy in the 1st episode with the list of who should face who and the orders?

Kris P Lettus 02-15-2013 09:06 AM

lol yeah

whiteyford 02-15-2013 09:45 AM

Can see him winding up as the Mitrione of the season, like you say, at least Bubba does it to everyones face.

Kris P Lettus 02-19-2013 09:01 PM

Let see what Bubba's got, boys..

Kris P Lettus 02-19-2013 09:04 PM

Sonnen looks big as fuck compared to Jones..

Kris P Lettus 02-19-2013 09:23 PM

I knew that Josh dude was a bitch..

Kris P Lettus 02-19-2013 09:50 PM

YUS

You can't sleep on anyone..

Krimzon7 02-19-2013 10:43 PM

Chael Sonnen is amazing. His pep talk was sooo deep.

I haven't been watching the episodes, just catching the fights. I downloaded just on the strength of this post and I'm glad I did. Wrote that entire talk down so I can tell it to my kids one day. Haha!

Will definitely keep watching too.

Chael came out a day or two ago and supported everything Dana said quite emphatically

Nicky Fives 02-21-2013 01:14 PM

Chael is a character, but at least he shows that he cares.....

ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS MAN???? Jesus Christ! You can say what you want about Sonnen, he knows the fight game, he knows how to win a fight, he knows how to sell a fight and guess what you're learning right now....HE KNOWS HOW TO COACH FIGHTERS. Chael may end up single handedly revolutionizing the MMA world if he decides to coach after his days are done.

Krimzon7 02-21-2013 01:24 PM

As a fight fan, or more importantly as a Chael Sonnen Hater, you almost short change yourself if you allow the braggadocio to jade your view of him. Once you get past that, you start to realize how extremely smart, and how intensely motivated this man is. Suga better do something amazing realy quickly because I'm rapidly replacing him with Chael in my heart.

CSL 02-21-2013 01:38 PM

not seeing the big deal about Chael's speech in the latest ep. Love the guy more than the average person aka he's my favourite fighter, he's great with the words and I'm a sucker for a bit of inspiration but it was pretty standard rah rah, was hardly Pacino in Any Given Sunday or anything ;)

Kris P Lettus 02-21-2013 02:17 PM

To be fair Pacino can' grapple like Sonnen so it all comes out in the wash..

Krimzon7 02-22-2013 12:19 AM

The current episode doesn't disappoint when it comes to the greatness of Chael. His speech was pitch perfect and his coaching during the fight was amazing.

Next Big Thing 02-22-2013 10:34 AM

Sonnen is great when he isn't doing his gimmick. I wouldn't mind seeing him slide into the commentary booth with Anik when it's all said and done for him.

whiteyford 02-22-2013 02:34 PM

Really glad Bubba lost although as it stands now I think he's a lock for the wildcard. Wasn't the biggest Sonnen fan going into this but he's making me change my opinion, actually comes across as a nice guy and seems genuinly interested in coaching the guys rather than letting his team do it all for him.

Kris P Lettus 02-26-2013 08:52 PM

hope josh gets his shit pushed in

Kris P Lettus 02-26-2013 09:02 PM

lol someone wrote "pussy" on Bubba's pic

Kris P Lettus 02-26-2013 09:33 PM

Urijah should have stayed away from all that bullshit.. He should let his skills speak for him..

Kris P Lettus 02-26-2013 09:52 PM

Sweet, now we get to see Hall kick his head off in the semi finals..

weather vane 02-26-2013 11:21 PM

Urijah Hall is a fag.

Kris P Lettus 02-26-2013 11:28 PM

Nah man, that shit was super edited..

A few more KO's and all will be forgotten..

Next Big Thing 02-27-2013 04:16 AM

Uriah comes off like a prick. He talks shit and then when called on it goes into defensive mode claiming that it's all b/c he was bullied as a child? Wack.

Sonnen's team seems closer as a group to me, but I haven't watched the first two episodes so that might not be accurate. Chael is hard not to like on this show. He's probably winning some fans off of this season.

Krimzon7 02-27-2013 09:31 PM

Uriah Hall = douchebag faggot

Krimzon7 02-27-2013 09:36 PM

Chael Sonnen manages to steal each and every scene he's in.

Kris P Lettus 02-27-2013 09:37 PM

The "P" is for "Personality"..

Krimzon7 02-27-2013 09:53 PM

I thought that the "P" stood for Phenomenally gifted American

weather vane 02-27-2013 10:57 PM

fuck urijah hall

CSL 03-02-2013 04:25 PM

I'm not too sure Urijah isn't just playing "lone wolf" for the cameras, he seemed to be pretty much trying to go after everybody to rile people up, even the morning after when Bubba was talking to him, he was like "it was Josh, I hate that guy" and he didn't say a cross word to or about Josh the night before when he was "kicking off" going after others. Unless they've either edited out him being a bit of a dick the first few eps or editing together to make him look like a dick in that last ep, it's pretty much come out of nowhere

weather vane 03-05-2013 02:29 PM

Urijah Hall is brutal. I'll kick his ass.

Kris P Lettus 03-05-2013 09:01 PM

Kinda pumped to see Clint cause he looked really good in the prelims..

Kris P Lettus 03-05-2013 09:51 PM

If dude just had some BJJ he would be a handful for anyone..

Next Big Thing 03-06-2013 07:44 AM

I kind of think Clint is more deserving of the wild card slot than Bubba at this point, but Bubba will probably get it cause he's been sucking Jones since their days at Jackson's.

Kris P Lettus 03-06-2013 08:23 AM

I really think Hall is getting a bad wrap.. I think he he tunnel vision and is only concerned with winning the competition, not making friends, etc.. I think they've edited it, to make it look like he is a dick.. You could see him and Luke (the guys he supposedly hates) helping each other up and patting each other on the back after Chaels speech..

Savio 03-06-2013 10:05 AM

He's an ass

"Are you a bitch like your girlfriend" (or something like that)...not a cool thing to say

Kris P Lettus 03-06-2013 11:09 AM

Yeah but you have no idea what dude might have said to him before that.. Could've been weeks ago..

Savio 03-06-2013 11:10 AM

That's true I noticed it was kinda edited at that point. Still unnecessary to bring his girl into it.
