Some of the fighters to watch out for are Eric Marriot, Micah Miller, Bryan Caraway, and Steven Siler at 145 and Carson Beebe, Dustin Pague, and T.J. Dillashaw at 135. Marriot was a Bellator vet and one of my favorites, Miller has to be the favorite to win, and Caraway is a member of team Alpha-Male and is dating Strikeforce vet Meisha Tate. Carson Beebe is WEC Vet Chase Beebe's younger brother, also B.J. and Josh Ferguson are brothers. The only non white threats are Dennis Bernudez and John Dodson. Dodson is from Jackson Submission fighting.

[Anak]

It would have been much more entertaining with Chael Sonnen.

results
Bryan Caraway defeats Marcus Brimage by RNC in the second round. So the only black at 145 is now out of the competition.

 

[Liverlips]

So the only black left is Dodson (an 8-5 journeyman)? I totally forgot TUF had started.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Dodson is much better than his record would indicate, I think he probably the favorite to win the 135 weight division, the only only person I think can stop him is Dillashaw. Dodson is small 5'5 135, he has mostly fought a 125, but he trains with Greg Jackson, and has great standup.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

I'd heard of Dodson & seen him ranked (before) in Sherdog's top 10 (for his weight class).

 

[Tired old White]

Dodson's life might be getting unpleasant. He is feeding info to the other team and will be found out soon. Just can not trust some people.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Dodson comes off as an A-hole. He very small probably, should be fighting at 125.

 

[Deacon]

Haven't watched an episode of the new season.

Did Dana White do his usual "Do you want to be a fighter?" Crap?

Dana's such a silly tool.

 

[Tired old White]

Yes he did and he also is continuing his romance with black and Hispanic fighters

 

[Deacon]

Haha, Dana really wants some hispanic fighters to do good so the Hispanic population will start watching UFC. Good business, I guess.

I'm already tired of the Cain promos where the UFC touts him as being the FIRST MEXICAN CHAMP of all sports!

 

[Hawkeye2]

Today had to be oneof the funniest TUF's ever, not so much because of the immature prank Tiki and Bisping pulled on Mayham, but the match between Dennis and Akira. Akira has been the biggest trash talker on TUF since Jamie Yager, and today he got choked out by Dennis in thefirst round and ended up crying in Bispings arms at the end of the show.

***The southern fried Dixieland outlaw will be pullin' for Dillashaw (vs. afrolete Dodson), & Bedford (vs. Latino Gaudinot)....not sure about the other caste match-ups on that card.

 

[celticdb15]

I'll be cheering for American born Bermudez. Brandao is a thug from the slums and he absolutely wanted to tear apart Carraway. I have a feeling Carraway's skin color gave the Brazilian all the motivation he needed..

 

[Anak]

The worst thing about MMA reffing is how unbelievably inconsistent it is. Joe Rogan justified that stoppage by pointing out how "wobbly" TJ was when standing up, okay... then the first Edgar vs Maynard fight should have been stopped 10 different times in the first round. Herb Dean is the worst ref too, but it's a meme among MMA fans that he's "the best," reinforced by Dana White telling them so as well.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

Beford TKO'd latino Gaudinot (knees) in round 3.

 

[Liverlips]

Albert (white) beat Dodson on TUF but got screwed by the judges.

Dillashaw had a single leg on him when the ref stopped it. A good wrestler with heavy hands will end the Dodson hype.

I don't like racist humor but it is just a fact that the 5'2 Dodson looks like a little monkey when he smiles, whoops and prances after a win. Looking at his face he almost doesn't look human.

Bisping is very underated IMO. He is not a one punch KO guy but has great standup, solid takedown defense and excellent cardio. "The Count" does not match up well with A. Silva or Sonnen but I would give him a shot against anyone else at 185.

Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Maia or Vitor (after he KOs afflete Johnson next month).
