A UFC reality show is probably the only good reality TV show idea I've heard yet. I hate reality TV.

I heard reality TV was like super popular so I made a point of trying to watch some of it once, and I have to say that I was horribly disappointed by boredom. I'm glad I don't watch tv I don't seem to be missing much  |

Reality TV is for those who dont have a reality of there own.
Although it would be pretty cool to see an armwrestling reality show. ;D

HAHAHA funny funny. My ribs are spiltting you guys are soooooo hilarious.  I watched the ultimate fighter the other day it was pretty cool. Some Josh kabchockezex?? wrestled some chris guy i think it was chris. Loud mouth punk that needed to get put out. It was interesting. As much as this guy talked trash he really sucked when it came to fighting this Josh guy. Then he went out and literally cried about losing the fight. |

Chris leben has a 16 and 1 record in MMA. You judging him on a 1 hr tv show is like someone not envolved in armwrestling making judgements after watching the shows on espn.
All of the guys on that show are great fighters, not the best but that's why they haven't been in the Ufc yet.
If it was easy they could have taken 16 guys from any walk of life and trained them for a few months and made them fight.
Until you step in the cage, beware of what you say, it's not as easy as it looks

That guy Chris (Like you said in what I could see in a few hours) was not good at all. He was taken to the mat everytime by Josh (Who by the way I want to see lose worse than any of them). When I watched him train his punches were being thrown at off angles(No Power and prone to hand and wrist injury) and he telegraphed everything! Josh won because he was a better wrestler and had stronger upper body strength to keep Chris down. He didn't win as much as Chris lost it. It looked like Chris was also thinking way too defensively.

Leben is a damn talented fighter, just needs more ground work especially from his back. He also needs to get his head in check.
Koschek laid and prayed and didn't even get any realy GnP in, no submission attempts either. He should have been warned for stalling.
For anyone who hasn't been on the mat before with someone experienced, they have no idea how difficult it is. I was a damn good wrestler and I've been tapped easily by BJJ practitoners.

Anyone see the Southworth/Bonner fight? I think Southworth was robbed, but oh well. Just like Dana said you can't leave it in the hands of the judges, I've seen worse decesions.

Of course all i know is backyard wrestling. but i judged the match by chriss mouth talking about how dominant he was going to be. i think both of them sucked honestly but apparently they have to be good enough to be where they are. Josh didnt seem as cocky. Where as chris was extremly arrogant and then cried when he lost and made excuses about josh not hurting him. Josh was in control the whole time, whether he hurt him or not. Strategy!  |

Ryan, they are supposed to warn people for "lay in pray". I would have stood them up several times for inaction.
Did you see when they sprayed Leben with the hose when he was sleeping on the lawn to get away from them? Or when Southword called him a fatherless b**tard?

I think bonnar and southworth should have had a third round.
Ryan, you should find a gym around you that has this kind of training and try it. I train with a guy who has fought in the ufc and all over the world. He can own me at any time he feels like it.
I can compare it to a good am armwrestler going against a pro for the first time... a very humbling experience

The water incident was the reason I can't stand Josh and wanted to se him get knocked out. To be a true fighter you can't just ground hold, You have to have the ability to strike from standing or on the mat. That is what separates the men from the boys. I would say that if Josh held me like that he would have looked like a character out of the planet of the apes by the time I was through with him.
Chris should have been able to strike and knock him out from his back. Josh has about as much power in his hands as my wife.
Chris had nothing to fear by opening up but chose not to. At the end of the show you could see his inner doubts and that was what ultimately failed him.
