I pity the fool that watches TUF for the first time and watching these heavyweight (MMA?) fighters. Fat....out of shape...no technique... and add some of the worst officiating I have ever seen....I am ready to give up on the TUF.

Roy Nelson can really move....BACKWARDS........

I,m not impressed with it either most likely due to it was over hyped. The one fight had to been an adrenalen [spelling] dump which could easy happen and explain the quick gasing. Hopefully it gets better.

Ya, these fights suck balls. I'm not sure any of these guys could even compete with the UFC HW roster. At least in this conditioning level we have seen. I understand the whole show is only a couple weeks and that aint enought time to get in shape, but damn It's hard to watch. I think elephants would put on a better show.
Hopefully the best ones who get a shot at a decent gym will get into shape. Could you imagine one of these fights going 5 rounds? Wow.

I pity the fool that's to fucking stupid to realize this isn't UFC fighters as of yet. These fights would feel more like a practice session that you have to win. Kinda like wrestle offs in wrestling. Nelson knows what he is doing.

Some of these guy's have been UFC fighters before. If your serous about winning this or getting on a card why not work on getting into shape as soon as you here about try outs. It's a little late to do it on the show. Nelson may know anough to win the show, but in my opinion he better step up his training if he wish to last awhile. This isn't the IFL with the #1 ranked guy out of contract[ Ben Rothwell] Also Roy sure seems to know how to butter up to Dana with his talk. lol

None of these guys can hang with the HW roster. Big Nog, mir, carwin, brock cain, dsantos, and the tier two roster would destroy the TUF gang. Randy and CC on a bad day and old will kill them.
The TUF guys need a good gym quick!!!

Justin Wren and Big country will do fine. Big Marcus is at Gracie Tampa, and could end up being decent enough to beat someone like Kongo.

Damn, they suck. They have a very weak technique, no one of them are going to do important things in UFC, just maybe Marcus, because all the others suck big time.

Nelson is fat, he takes many many punches and against a good striker with decent cardio he will get KTFO.

I pity the fool that does not realize that this might be their ONLY chance to make the next step up to the UFC. Try out for the NFL or NBA out of shape...you get cut...how is this any different???? Watch amateur boxing, at least they are in shape....so what is the excuse for these fighters???

Nelson knows how to win against inferior fighters...his experience should show through more in his fights. He will not make it in the UFC if this is the best he has to offer.

By the way I think that Justin deserved to win the fight, the first round he dominated Nelson, in the second round Nelson was better, but for me, if the fight did not go to a 3rd round, Justin should have been the winner.

Frankly it is impossible that these men, that are supossed to be professional fighters and have hopes to be in the UFC, are so weak. They have no cardio, their technique is very weak. In theory Nelson is the best fighter, but damn, he sucks. He is in good shape considering that he is very fat, but he would get murdered against any top guy.

The only 2 fighters that I think are maybe, just maybe, decent are Marcus and Brendan. But we will see if they are really better than the others.
