That episode was entirely loving unwatchable except for the gym bits. God drat.

I am thoroughly unimpressed with Tecia now. You look at her and she looks good physically and I don't remember her looking bad in Invicta, but in the two fights she's had on TUF she's looked pretty bad both technically and athletically. Felice is the only fighter left in the tournament I would pick her over.

Maybe she just handled living in the house poorly or had something off physically, but her stock value has dropped a lot in my eyes. I think her route to victory will be using her hilarious hair thing much like Jon Jones uses his fingers.

Agreed, I fast forwarded to the coaching talking heads, then to the fight.

The only fighter I've seen who's footwork has impressed me at all this season is thug rose and that's not me fanboying. She legitimately moves and uses her range well, probably from her early years training with Roufus.

So a RoufosSport kickboxer died from head trauma over the weekend in a fight where I guess the towel should've been thrown in and Rose is going all in on Instagram with stories from people who trained there in the past and it's not pretty at all.

Not near a computer so I can't post the pics right now but it's really loving disgusting stuff.

Oh, just realized Dillashaw is the answer to "won a title, but didn't win his season of TUF", right?

Edit: also, Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen sitting in excavators is too much of a physical activity for Pettis to manage, I guess

Pettis could injure his knee driving the drat thing for sure.

What's really dumb is their bestie Jessica is in the same side of the tournament bracket as Carla, while Carla wouldn't be fighting Randa till after the show was done.

Angela Magaņa at least has the excuse of a horrible string of tragedies to explain her crazy, as far as I can tell Carla and Felice have had few life challenges to make this drama worth it.

And remember, Randa's family was the victim of political violence in Saddam's Iraq.
