Joe Warren, fight master

I know I would need to think good and hard before deciding if I want Greg Jackson or Joe Warren as my coach.

[SDM]

I like Warren as the loudmouth of the panel and there's good chemistry. Production was slick too, but I think the fight lead-ins are way too similar to TUF... they could have the fighters say their tale of the tape or something. And the host is another bald white guy.

Too early to tell about the fighter quality, but those body kicks from Barnes were ridiculous.

[ShowtimeFan]

some good fights here, I can't wait for it...!

I take this back, most of the fights were average or boring, good thing I DVR them, watched the entire show in 40 minutes...

Come on Bellatar !

[Bernman]

Souza would curbstomp Colton Smith. He did that to the guy who did it to Colton Smith.

I like what I saw out of Souza, Barnes, Dubois, and Williams so far. Lozano could always have been good if he used his wrestling and gnp instead of brawling. And Matthews if he starts pulling the trigger. This group is vastly superior in talent to the last TUF WW's. It's not even remotely a question.

[Cammo101]

Souza and Lozano are the 2 legit guys so far on the show.

Colton Smith stinks and won't be remembered as the best guy from his season of TUF. Wrestlers always do really well in TUF because they only have to ground hump people for 2 rounds and because the guys on TUF tend to not be well rounded enough to give quality wrestlers a problem. Ricci will end up the best fighter from that craptastic season of TUF.

This group is vastly superior in talent to the last TUF WW's. It's not even remotely a question.

I don't necessarily buy that yet. IMO the talent level has been pretty low on Fight Master so far, with the 2 exclusions of Lozano and Souza. The jury is very much still out.
