I havent been really too excited to watch a full season since the 2nd one, but im looking forward to this season. I think Kimbo might actually win a few and may end up getting a contract. I know ill be watching to see Rampage/Rashad conflicts

I like Kimbo and Roy this season. I hope Kimbo is on Rampage's team.

I think this could be the best season in a long while.

With having not had HW's since, what S2? where they didn't even have a full team of HW's (I mean the HW winner ultimately was a LHW lol), it actually should be quite a talented season, much like say season 5, and obviously the pure brainless entertainment factor should be there between Rashard, Rampage, Kimbo and Dana.

I am pretty excited for this one. I do have to like that Kimbo has turned around and done something for his career, shown a bit of humility, wants to prove Dana White wrong, and will do it on his terms, which is a brave move, even if you think your the baddest guy at the BBQ.

holy ****... I want this season to start bad. It looks sick.

I love that preview. LOL "I want Kimbo...Kimbo on my team". If Kimbo's on Rampage's team that would be interesting.

Kimbo will fight in the UFC regardless of the outcome at TUF. He could get KTFO'ed in the first round and still I'll bet his name will be used as a co headliner or secondary fight in ufc 107ish.

I hope that preview isn't just the first 8 minutes of the first episode, because that's kind of what it seems like.

EIther way, I'm more excited for this season than I have been for any other I think.

I think this season will produce a good 6 or so new HWs. I mean, Nelson and Kimbo will probably get picked up regardless, and there are some other guys there that look promising. We'll have to see if their skills match their appearances though.

And if I was forced to pick a winner, of course I would have to go with Nelson, but I don't think he's going to win. We know he's good, but we also know he's not an elite guy. He's tough, but if he just walks through the competition, I'll be disappointed, because it means the talent level on the show was a lot lower than I expected. So yeah, I'm taking the field.

I got to go with Nelson and Simms based on experience alone, Simms is like 6'8" or something and that there could be a huge advantage in the slower less athletic Heavyweight diivision.

Pumped for this to start. Just looks more like good entertainment than quality fighting, but I could be wrong.

Either way I'm pulling for Kimbo and man does that preview ever make Rampage look like a clown or what? lol

I'll predict Roy Nelson and Darrill Schoonover in the Finals.

Post #14 » by **CPT** » Tue Sep 8, 2009 10:27 pm

Yeah, just from what I've read, Schoonover would be my pick, but I want to see how the guys look and how the teams shape up.

Jon Jones vs. Matt Hamill at TUF 10 finale.

Should be a pretty good test for Bones.

Wow good fight, I'm leaning towards Hamill with the win but wouldn't be surprised if Jones wins.

I got Jones. His wrestling is near equal to that of Hammill and his standup is much better IMO. Hammill's eat punches on the chin defense isnt gonna work out so well this time i think.

I like Jones in this fight too, but I don't think he has near as good of wrestling as Hamill.

Here is a interesting vid I found, its Roy Nelson schooling Frank Mir at Grapplers Quest 03. Mir scores 2 for the takedown then gets owned by Nelson giving up pass after pass. Final score Nelson 15/Mir 2.

I have been saying for a long time that Roy Nelson is the most underrated Heavyweight in MMA.
