Kinda lame Rashad could bring Greg Jackson as an "assistant" coach. Team Rampage guys are at a huge disadvantage due to this.
Other than that it looked like it's gonna be a crazy season...

Maybe it was just me, but it seemed as though Rashad's corner was much more vocal towards their fighter. Rampage just kept saying "Come on, get up. Work." Clearly, the guy was out of his league, but still. In between rounds, Rampage should've been in Wagner's ear telling him to watch for the takedown/dragdown and shoot a knee right off the bat. He did it on the last TD, but he was so tired it didn't matter. Clearly though, Wagner was out of his league as he had 0 takedown defense, no offense from the ground (except some half-hearted triangle attempts) and can't work off his back. I doubt we see him back as it looked like Madsen attacked him with a hatchet in that fight.
I can already see that Marcus Jones is going to have a conditioning problem, especially if he gets matched up w/ a wrestler.
Since it looks like Evans will decide the 3rd fight, I wouldn't be surprised to see him put Kimbo in the ring.

I call shananigans on this.
This is Rampage vs Greg Jackson. | I agree that it's completely unfair. But it's within the rules so I say more power to him for bringing Greg in
Also, some of those guys. were Huge. I think that Rampage let that fool him a little bit. All he did was pick guys with size it seemed. That's going to wind up hurting him because it looks like the smaller guys have more skill

i can't remember if it's ever been one on one with the fighter that coaches for that season?

I havent seen the famous "cut", but it was even worse than the cut that fedor received in his 2nd match against Nogueira?

It's funny.
My fiancee and I sat down last night to watch this episode last night and we were both, at the beginning of the episode, cheering for Rampage(given how charismatic and hilarious he is), but as soon as we both saw Greg Jackson and heard how Rampage wanted Kimbo, we totally switched over, which is somewhat weird, since we both don't care for Rashad at all, aside for his association w/ GSP and Jackson.... Rashad's team is just so much deeper and more well rounded, not to mention how AMAZING their trainers are.
Meanwhile, TIKI is a coach on Rampage's team.....TIKI! They're done!
Also, I'm pretty sure Wes Simms is working some sort of gimmick or angle with this curled lip and idiot talk, in attempt to get some press via TUF to get onto either UFC or WWE. I've never seen him act like that, but it was like something outta pro wrestling. Anybody see it like this?????

Just based on Assistant Coaches.... Tiki v.s. Jackson. I would say Rashad take this.

Well finally I saw the episode and it was interesting, the cut was incredible, and the bald guy is a jackass, pretending to touch gloves and instead take down his opponent.
I didnt like the coaching of Rampage, he was just saying "do something", even I can say that.
I just have a couple of questions:
1.- There is one episode each week?
2.- They guys that loses their matches, what happen to them later? They continue to train or they leave the show?
