The Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale

I'm not sure if anyone here was an TUF fan but I was basically glued to my TV today. I really liked Ed and Kendall, but I was rooting more for Ed because I liked his style and attitude more. This was one of the best fights I've ever seen, I was ****ing PISSED OFF when they didn't go to a fourth round. It was such a ****ing dis-service to the fighters to let the judges call it, ****ing horse****. The fight was simply unbelievable, it was so even, with both of them striking and getting SO CLOSE to submitting the other guy, with amazing escapes and fighting off submissions... both of them are amazing, I'm glad Dana White gave both of them contracts because it would be a travesty if one of them had to go home without one.

As for Bisping and Haynes, it came out pretty much like I was thinking; Bisping was going to win, no doubt in my mind, but I KNEW Haynes was going to put up a hell of a fight. Honestly, he probably had the most heart out of anyone there. The final seconds of that fight were just painful to watch because you knew he wasn't going to escape the inevitable, but he was trying to hard and wouldn't give up, the feeble punches while losing conciousness said it all.

A good end to the season, I'll be watching for season 4!

I watched. It was a great night of TV. I wasn't a Kendall fan, and thought it was pretty even. His skills suprised me, though.

I actually liked the Florian fight too. He is really an adept fighter -- amazing that he competed at 185 and is now 155. Hate his silly celebration thing afterward though. What is that supposed to be? A lasso turned bow and arrow turned punch???? Silly.

What about Joe "Diesel" Riggs. He's been doing a lot of UFC fights lately. He used to fight at OVER 300, not he fights at 170!

Ed gassed.... I really think Shamrock did those guys a dis-service... If they had gone 4 Kendall would have been submitted...

Shamrock was a lousy coach. How can you not train your fighters with cardio? Then he'd yell at them for getting tired, "It's only two rounds!!"

I think the results speak for themselves, personally.
