    It gets annoying cause I'm trying to watch them from the start and I can't find them anywhere. Using Hola to say I'm from Ireland doesn't work on that Irish site either. :emoji_slight_frown:

    lot of MMA this weekend outside of the UFC

    Bellator

    Emmanuel Newton vs Liam McGeary-For LHW Title
    Paul Daley vs Andre Santos
    Cheick Kongo vs King Mo
    Sokoudjou vs Linton Vassell
    Brennan Ward vs Curtis Millender-Ward in for MVP who suffered a cut this week

    Invicta is also on Friday. Dont think its a coincidence that they have Cyborg fighting in the same city as Rhonda the night before, would be shocked if she wasnt in the building for 184. Think the UFC is angling for the match up eventually since Rhonda is running out of ppl to fight.

    There is also a Legacy FC card.

    How much do tickets usually run for Bellator? I'm definitely going to that Kimbo vs Shamrock fight if it's affordable

    No idea, probably pretty affordable. I have a feeling that is one of their "tentpole" events so they will probably put other big fights on there. Tito said a while ago that he was fighting in June so i could see him against McGeary/Newton.

    Shamrock is 51 lol

    I'm sure Shamrock will pull out before the fight actually takes place lol. I just want to go because major MMA never comes around here and since Uncle Dana still has shown no interest in coming to St. Louis there might not be another big MMA event there for awhile

    Isn't Ken planning on doing bare knuckle boxing too? He was on Gross Point Blank a while back promoting it.

    UFC officials today announced the details for “The Ultimate Fighter 21,” which will use a gym vs. gym format with 16 notable cast members and a $500,000 grand prize.

    The long-running reality/competition show, which debuts April 22 at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT) on FOX Sports 1, features an American Top Team vs. Blackzilians format, and sixteen welterweights will compete in the single-elimination tournament.

    The winning team earns the first “TUF” team trophy and $500,000.

    Dan Lambert heads the ATT team, and rival Glenn Robinson heads the Blackzilians club. The series prominently features the rivalry between the two camps, which developed in 2011 after a band of ATT fighters defected and started their own camp with Robinson. The two gyms are located just 20 minutes apart in South Florida, where the show is being filmed.

    According to today’s announcement, though the fighters will live together, they’ll continue to train separately at their home gyms. However, the fights won’t take place at a neutral site, and instead, bouts will take place at one of the two gyms. Additionally, matchups won’t be revealed until weigh-ins, when each fighter will learn who his opponent is.

    The show concludes with the TUF 21 Finale and the tournament conclusion this summer, though a date hasn’t been finalized.

    The cast members include:

    American Top Team

    • Marcelo Alfaya (16-7) Porto Alegre, Brazil
    • Steve Carl (21-4), Belle Plain, Iowa
    • Nathan Coy (14-5), Vallejo, Calif.
    • Michael Graves (4-0), Toledo, Ohio
    • Hayder Hassan (6-1), Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
    • Sabah Homasi (8-4), New Brunswick, N.J.
    • Uros Jurisic (5-0), Ljubljana, Slovenia
    • Steve Montgomery (8-2), Florence, S.C.
    Blackzilians

    • Valdir Araujo (14-5), Gama, Federal District, Brazil
    • Carrington Banks (3-0), Peoria, Ill.
    • Luiz Buscape (16-5), Joao Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil
    • Jason Jackson (4-2), Kingston, Jamaica
    • Vicente Luque (7-4-1), Westwood, N.J.
    • Andrews Nakahara (4-2-2), Mogi das Cruzes, Sao Paulo, Brazil
    • Felipe Portela (8-2), Brasilia, Brazil
    • Kamarudeen Usman (5-1) Auchi, Nigeria

    Like the new format idea

    I watch every season regardless, but the format needed a shake up. TUF catches a lot of flack for some of the weaker seasons, but the American version always churns out solid guys even in the worst seasons. Plus its cool to go back in time and watch stars back when they were unknowns.

    Anyways Dan Henderson vs Tim Boetsch and Ben Rothwell vs Matt Mitrione added to the Cormier/Bader FN in New Orleans. Also Mike Pyle vs Sean Spencer added to the UFC 187 card.
