|  Of course team UK won.
If any of the American fighters were that good they would have made it on the first 8 seasons of TUF. The Brits won because they had a fresh talent pool to choose from. I really like the country vs country thing, I'd love to see them go to Russia, Brazil or Japan. Am I getting my hopes up or will this might actually happen? Russia vs Brazil TUF??? Id cum my pants

i was thinking the exact same thing. no disrespect intended, but the fighters from the US team this year were the bottom of the barrel while the UK team were the cream of the crop.

Great point. I didn't watch the show much but the couple fights I did watch were pretty one sided esp Wilks destruction (I say destruction because of all the attempted submissions) of Johnson.

HOSS-Bork, you should spend more time brushing up on your MMA history, and less time complementing guys on how young their penises taste.

Russia vs Brazil. A house full of guys who don't speak English and can't even speak to each other. Yeah, that would be GREAT to watch! Coached by Fedor and Anderson Silva. Every episode has subtitles...

I watched the whole season and I have to disagree. Looking at the fighters the teams were similar, damraques was probably the biggest name and he was american. the Americans ruined it for themselves as they usually do by having a few rediculous personalities in their team. The Brits won because they worked harder for themselves and each other.

The ultimate fighter has nothing to do with the "biggest name", its best fighter wins. Wilks is better whether you know his name or not. Answer this for me if any of the American fighters were so skilled why couldnt they make it on the first 8 episodes? The Brits won because they had a fresher talent pool

So I don't see that as much of an excuse.
Your question about why the Americans weren't on the previous ultimate fighters confuses me. Did all the american fighters in this season try out for earlier seasons and get rejected? If so an easy answer would be that most of them improved over the years(as most Mixed Martial artists do as its an ever evolving sport) and finally were accepted.
I stick by what I said anyway, the teams were equal.
