it was a good fight too bad Melvin frozze like that b/c if that first takedown was any indication he had some skill but o well if he frezzes on the reality show I can only imagine what he would do on a real show. That new guy is a monster. I hoping for the heavyweights to impress b/c UFC needs a shot in the arm in the heavyweight division as they only have 3 good heavyweights (Arlovski,"The Headhunter" & Mir) and one is injured.

They also have Sylvia, who would slaughter Buentello, and Assuerio Silva is going to be debuting soon. But yeah, they definately need more heavyweights.

Yeah but Tim Sylvia is a roid pushing big mouth, he doesn't carry himself like a fighter he carrys himself like an ass and I don't like him and I don't think the UFC should of given him a second chance.
Buentello just came to the UFC and hasn't shown everything he can do just yet wait and see how he does against Arlovski he isn't going to beat him but he might do better then expected.

I'm liking this show as well. I like that they already have the guys fighting and not having us watch all of the competitions for the 1st couple of shows.
Melvin lost that fight more than Josh won it. As it was pointed out (And I was yelling at my TV), if Mevin had more of a killer instinct, he could have been all over Josh. Could he have won? Possibly, but he would have at least had a chance. Although Josh won, the clips from the next show make it out to look like Josh may be one win and out.
I have to say Rich and Matt are doing a great job with what was given to them. No one really sticks out to me as one to watch (Like Nate and Diego did from Season 1). I think the dude who was picked last, yet did the wall sit AND was resonsible for his side winning the challange is one to keep an eye on (Although I don't know if he has any fighting skill). He showed he has brains, which is huge, but there has to be a reason he was picked last.
I'm thinking the heavy-weights will bring the pain and knockouts we're expecting. Yes, the replacement dude is huge, but if he doesn't have the skill, he's toast. I'm gonna say he loses his 1st fight!

So what do you guys think of this season so far? I haven't been able to watch any since the first episode as it's not on here in Korea and for some odd reason I can't get bit torrents to work. Better, worse, or on par with the first season? Seems to me like a lot of the guys aren't very serious about wanting to fight in the UFC.

Only a few guys seem like they want to work to get into the UFC. Whereas last season everyone on the show was DYING to get into the UFC. Hopefully as the season progresses we'll see more people with some heart and determination, but as of now, I haven't seen any.

I third that sentiment. Everyone says it, but nobody seems to show it yet.

My two picks are still going strong, im proud Rashad was able to EASILY beat Mike Whitehead who didnt even try. And Joe/Luke looks like its going to be the finals for the Welterweights, and should be an AMAZING fight
Im also really hoping they have Bonnar vs. Griffin 2 as the main event of the Finale, but thats just my opinon
Any guesses as to who is going to be brought back next week? Smart Money is on Marcus i bet...
Edit: For Some reason i thought i picked Luke to win, but im hoping Sammy puts on a GREAT fight next week as we have yet to see him fight, and im pretty sure he is going to lose...

I've always liked Luke and he was one of my early picks. I was thinking either Marcus or the cocky kid from the first fight will be brought back. I'm with you on Bonnar-Griffin 2. The first one was as good a fight as I've ever seen, and I mean that.
