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.

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.

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

love the new season

Hell of a Knock out tonight. Jesus. I love the faces on the other guys. "Damn. One of us has to fight this guy next"

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.
