Well, that's my point, he got caught.....an armbar is an armbar no matter who it's taught by. He got caught slippin.
ALOT of fighters train under the "Gracie" name now, doesn't mean they are all certified Bad-Asses
His stand up was impressive......kicks, movement, speed.....

I dunno about that.... I've seen much wilder and sloppier... esp on TUF.
I agree with you overall though. As a complete package I think that Clint is probably the favourite.
Hall has some great tools though. Not many guys around with striking skills like that.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned.... I really like Sonnen as a coach. He could actually be one of the best that the show has had. Very involved and you can see that he really cares about his guys. Kind of like the opposite of Big Country lol.

clint & i think john? are pretty big guys
uriah looks small with his shirt on hahah, but yea i think uriah hall is being promoted way too much so far considering clint clearly imo had the most impressive first fight & other guys did well while uriah just hasn't impressed
uriah hall right now is like the guy coaches in the nba would draft at a higher rank than the better players among his class, uriah is young & explosive with some striking skills n thats what i think dana is seeing more than thinking hes polished enough right now to take it.... with that said he has potential to do well but i dont see it right now

Uriah gets exposed, me thinks. His defense is dropping his hands, putting his chin straight up, and trying to pull back. And we've still yet to see how he handles a strong wrestler.

Chael is a great person, from everything I've seen. He just knows how to play the villain to market himself. I would love to hang out with the guy. This coming from a former Chael hater. Once I realized it was nothing personal and he used it as a way to play with is opponent's emotions, I started to appreciate him.
yEaH, br0! teh ULTIMATE kNock0ut!1!!
They made Ricci sound like the most technical fighter ever, then he got ragdolled by Smith in the finals.
Hate to say it, but when my dude Neil got dropped by that elbow, I had to chalk that up as the best.Near, far, wherever you are...

It annoyed me when he said disrespectful things about legends like Wanderlei, Cro Cop, etc, but it's pretty obvious he's trolling and seems to be doing it a lot less lately. But other then that I have found most of what he said to be funny and entertaining. And I've seen him in enough videos and interviews now that he's actually a really nice guy and cares about the fans and fellow fighters.Anti-*******ry Crew

He laundered money. It's a crime, and he has to own up to that. But as far as I'm concerned, it's a pretty victimless crime. He helps out the West Lynn High wrestling program regularly, has shown to be a great coach on TUF, and has shown his down-to-earth nature behind the scenes.
I'd really like to get the chance to pick his brain some day.Near, far, wherever you are...

My views on TUF 17 so far.
It has been the most i have enjoyed the start to a season in ages.
Uriah seems like he has issues. Way too intense and still wrapped up in getting bullied when he was a kid. I fear he may commit suicide if he loses.
That KO was brutal.
Josh and Bubba are awful people.
Bubba is thick as pig ****.
JJ is playing up to the Cameras.
Chael is a ****ing great person and coach.
