UFC will never get rid of an exciting fighter whether he wins or loses.
You can have a perfect record and be not too entertaining of a fighter, and wait years for a title shot.

Look at Tank. Dude is like 50 and 5 or something lol. I still watch his fights because I know he's coming out swinging.

lol, they are doing something... they are actually doing a lot. It's just 90% of the poplation doesn't know anything about ground fighting besides striking and submissions.

So if a guy doesn't come out throwing, then he's boring? The more you post, the more you show your ignorance. This isn't a street fight, it's MMA. Ground game and grappling and submissions are every bit as equal parts as are throwing punches and kicks. So in your estimation, a fighter like Maia for instance is not as exciting as Tank Abbott? For Real??/ Do you really mean that? I'll I can say is WOW!

Junie is a punk, anyone who talks as much as he does and then can't back it up will never be taken seriously. He reminds of a 5 year old kid who can't express himself so uses violence and noise but then gets his a*se kicked! what a loser

[MrSpanky]

Just because hes being quiet in the gym doesn't mean he's changed. He could still be a trash talking mofo when he walks out of there, and still be getting in trouble. I want to see him put together a win and some decency in the octagon, if he really has changed his life around.

[brokenneverbeat]

I think he really is turning things around and has focus, at the gym he just trains and doesnt make a peep, he's really soaking things in I think. In real life he really cant misbehave either becuase he's living with shawn tompkins and pretty much everyone at XC is guiding him, so if he was to get out of line, theyd put him in his place quick.

I hope he doesn't turn his life around, I hope the pins in his hand and foot grenades fall out and blow him up, and I'm fuckin sick of them hyping the Ultimate Fighter Finale with 8 clips of Junie walking across the Octagon and 2 clips of Bader, 1 of Elliot, none of Phillipe, and 1 of Efrain (the actual contestants in the finale)

I was just watching TUF 7, and seeing jesse kicked off seemed pretty harsh after seeing Dana let Junie stay on after being a tool in the house. I spose Junie's antics were just in the house, whereas Jesse was out in public giving the company a bad name, but JT was in the final where Junie had barely established himself. Maybe I just dont like junie.

Yeah, well, theres a comparison, but Junie did the shit inside the house.

Jesse was more severe. He thought he could go out, get drunk, and elaborate that he is a UFC fighter, and clearly could do what he wanted. Acted like a punk in the hotel, causing disruptions, and even tried to assault someone, If im correct. If Junie would have went and done that, Junie would have been kicked out. But Junie was inside the house, and the things that he did, does not compare to what Jesse did outside the house.

I bet you the producers told him to act a certain way on the show. Now that TUFs over he doesnt do all that stupid shit he just sticks to his training now. Some of the pranks on the show were ridiculous Putting all the furniture and dishes in somebodys room? the only one I liked was the lucky charm prank and the bed/casket one those were alright.

Kudos 'Clark80'..nothing worse than someone who talks shit and cant back it up!

Junie is a shit fighter, but a world class cry-baby/attention getter. I admit he was great for the show, and I totally understand why Dana kept his ass on the show (it is TV guys, and millions tuned in just to see what happened next with his drama = smart business move).

Great for TV, maybe he could make a great thug in a movie???

But as for a world class fighter..forget about it, he better have a backup plan, or else he better invest in a gun and go rob his local 7-11 to pay the rent.

May sound harsh, but I just cant understand why people give a fuck about retarded fools like him in the first place. If I was in the house, I would have gotten kicked out for breaking his fuckin nose, I cant stand shit-starters period.

Thats my rant about this little twerp. Next topic.
