The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen

[REDDzone]

Whoa, 80 inch reach? Serious question, isn't that Jon Jones-esque for middleweight?

[High 5]

Very impressive wins for both of these guys. Slightly disappointed Hall gave up the takedown after beating the life out of Dylan for 1.5 rounds, but he made up for it with that TKO from the bottom. It's going to be interesting to see how he handles the legit UFC wrestlers because it's very possible he's already the second best striker at 185. Kelvin should be a good test as well after seeing him totally dismantle Josh.

Also, I loved the Street Fighter face off.

The reason Hall is so scary, is because he's a stand up guy.
Danzig and most of the other guys who dominated their seasons wrestle **** guys to death. That doesn't really install fear, and when you're talking about Joe blow, it doesn't really impress because wrestling is a weakness for most of the guys, while striking is typically their strong suit.

Hall destroyed everyone he stepped in the ring with. He fought what, 4 fights? and never had a scratch. That's mind boggling.

If hall beats wrestle guy this weekend, they will fast track him. Like they did Roy. Roy fought JDS in his second fight, winner fought Carwin for the title shot against Cain.
Think of that division. They need fresh blood at the top bad.

I don't think they will fast track him like they did Roy. Roy was a totally different case, he was a guy who was obviously UFC caliber years before that TUF season. That season was a formality and a showcase for Nelson.

Uriah is still young and to push him too fast could really hurt him. The one thing we have seen on the show is that he is still a little fragile mentally. Too much, too soon could stifle him.

Pretty much. He has a greater reach than both Cain and JDS (and equivalent to Overeem).

He intelligently utilized his reach too against Dylan by throwing front kicks to maintain separation, a la Jon Jones, and just continued to jab him to death.

Terrible RNC defense from Josh. He had no sense. More of his suffering, please. Where's the Bubba aftermath? Let's see tears.

I don't fancy it sadism, exactky, it's just that I have...an astute moral sense. Justice needs to come down hard on douche bags.

It's the reason I usually don't watch TUF; if I know too much about these guys, and they're douches and they win, I shatter. Or vice versa: if they're sweethearts and lose, ...

Dylan was frustrating to watch. The very (very) few times he tried anything he landed punches, the one takedown he went for he got. Completely outclassed but I think he could've done better. Uriah is terrifying.

Uriah is a counter-puncher with a great jab and sense of distance, you can't just open up and swarm him. Your nervous system won't let you.

Pretty sure you can throw more than 5-6 punches in 2 rounds though

Finally got around to checking out this episode. Wow!

What else can you say about Urijah? His striking is so crisp and sharp and fast. Those jabs had Dylan busted up in no time. He popped him with what? 3 leg kicks and already had Dylan limping to the corner. Those spinning strikes were so fast. His footwork and movement were very good. The attacking from the bottom was obviously awesome, however I'm not sure he would have thrown with such recklesless abandon if it wasn't near the end of the round... That said, gotta give it up, after the first few landed you could see him turn up the juice on them and just completely overwhelm Dylan. It will be mildly interesting to see how he handles a pure wrestler in Kelvin, but by and large, I'm much much more interested in what's to come for Urijah. His speed, technique, and power are going to be a goldmine for Dana and Co. This guy is electric.
