What is it about Kendall that irks people?
I am not seeing it.
He’s white trash (or islander trash, or what-the-hell-ever.) I dont like the way he talks (neither his accent nor his word choice,) I dont like that stupid bandana, I dont like him wearing sunglasses indoors and I dont like the opinions he’s expressed/the way he’s presented himself when he’s been interviewed. And yeah, the dagger crap adds to all that.[/quote]
Well for me I could care less about someone’s mannerisms or how they talk, well if they start making up words that is one thing. It’s someone’s character that I view and Kendall is very, very, immature and malicious in a covert way.
What he did to Rory was messed up, knowing that he doesn’t know who is going around tagging his gear and tagging all the food in the house with “Rory is gay” signs. Then after all of that drama happens between Rory who can at least admit when he is wrong and Ed who is as one-dimensional and belligerant as they come he just smiles and laughs about it. He should good skills in the ring, but he has been a subversive manipulator when it wasn’t needed.
I will say this though, there are many times when I laugh at Kendall, the guy is funny as hell.
The Bisping vs. Josh fight is going to be an absolute slaughter. Even Ross would hand Josh his ass in the 1st round…
Oh well, Bisping has been BY FAR my favorite fighter in that house the whole time. I think he’s the only one who has a personality that doesn’t annoy the hell out of me, besides Ross. Or maybe I just like their accents? I dunno.
It’s tough to take Josh seriously when I can’t stop seeing his jiggling spare tire as he hops around like a smurf…

Even though I have ties to Mike N., I agree here. Bisping has been my choice to win since early on.
I also like Ed. Gonna be a great night of fights; period.

Didn’t he use to be a fatass…like over 300?
The guy has spirit.
That being said, Bisping is the man!
I am really glad to see him in the finals.
I like Kendall, I hope he destroys Daywalker Gingerkid!
I liked how Dana broke down the coaching styles of the 2 and called Ken out. I used to like Ken and hate Tito before this TUF season. Now I seriously hope Tito beats Ken’s ass so we don’t have to hear from him again.
Also Bisping is a friggin bad ass striker. It’s nice to get someone who can kick, punch and knee and doesn’t just use wrestling and smother tactics. Bisping is the kind of exciting fighter the UFC needs.

Boo-fricken-hoo, have any of you guys been to say wrestling or footbal camp with just a group of other guys? That shit happens. It is true that the outcast is usually the one getting picked on in such a manner, but fuck, get a bunch of young retards in a house with nothing but free time and shit will happen…especially in a testosterone-ridden environment a group of MMA Fighters will have.

Yeah, I’ve been to both football and wrestling camps, but saying “It’s gonna happen” doesnt excuse it. Tagging stuff in the house? Funny (in a mercilessly annoying way.) CONTINUING to tag - just to get a reaction - and then escalating it to property that has a little more value than just a frigging piece of cellophane? Not cool. And yeah, if this had happened before the post I made above I would’ve used this as an example. I guess something about him just rubbed me the wrong way, and it would appear i was right.
I’m shocked jesse couldnt submit josh (just shows how awful he is, I guess,) I thought rory was doing fine until he FOUGHT his way onto his stomach to give up his back. Seriously, he was on the ground, took no damage, escaped and took ed down. I dont know who I woulda given the first round to. If bisping doesnt kill josh i’ll eat my hat. Kendall had some problems with kalib’s striking, but lets see how ed does when his opponent doesnt GIVE him the submission. I pick kendall. I have no interest in either of these two fights, that said, I will watch em
I hope Kendal gets the ever loving shit stomped out of him. I have hated him since the whole Team Dagger thing.
I would have liked to see Matt and Bisbing in the finals. I think the LHW finals we have now are a joke. Bisbing will embarrass Josh.
Is anyone else incredibly impressed by the people that Tito surrounds himself with? Especially Saul. Throughout this whole season Saul has dealt with these guys incredibly well, and knows how to iorn out problems and get everyone in the right frame of mind. His advice is always spot on and just what the fighter needed to hear. Props to Saul, my MVP of this lackluster season of TUF.

Dana White: “hey Ken, how about we hook you up with a completely one-sided contest where you can totally whup tito, like, say, pool? We’ll shoot ya ten grand for it. But in return you gotta start crap with tito on the last episode. This PPV in July hasnt been hyped enough, we really need to turn our attention to that now that hughes vs gracie is over.”
Does anyone dount that this conversation took place? man, I wish I could find a sports book that would take futures bets like “when the season 3 dvd comes out, the above conversation will be on the extras”[/quote]
Exactly. It reminds me of pro wrestling.

Saul and Lister are great guys to have on the team. Tito has great training partners and is a good coach and corner man.

You don’t like his mannerisms…great way to base an opinion on someone’s character. As for his accent, it is fairly mild for someone who grew up in Hawaii their entire life.

I guess your being right is a matter of opinion. They aren’t there to make friends, at the end of the day this isn’t a team sport, it’s every man for himself…whether or not you’re on Team Ortiz or Team Shamrock. If it was one of the fighters who you didn’t already form an opinion of based on his mannerisms, say Bisping, doing this to one of the other guys in an effort to make them weaker mentally before a fight, you guys would probably be applauding it as funny. I don’t hear anyone getting on Ed for pissing on the headgear, or Rory for wiping his ass with Ed’s glove. That was more ridiculous than anything Kendall did.
Was i mistaken or did I see Matt wrestling around in the living room while all the guys were partying? i could have sworn he was the one taking Ed down.
Bisping is awesome. He knows he got the skills but he doesn’t go around mouthing off about himself. like before the fight when he and ross were arguing about their previous fight, he didn’t brag, he just stated the obvious that he beat ross. I know he’s going to kill in the finals and get the contract.
Inconcievable. Ill most probly kill you in the morning.

You could say that, or you could say that I had a gut feeling about someone and was proven right.
And as I said before, tagging food products = funny. Tagging personal crap that has value and wasnt intended to be thrown away = not funny. Rory rubbing stuff on his ass and ed peeing on head gear were RESPONSES. Kendall did this stuff with no provocation. Sorry, your boy is a jackass.

Luckily this isn’t a popularity contest, and my “boy” is in the finals…your opinion notwithstanding.
Also, you keep bringing up your validation of how right you were, you are only right in your view, not mine. In my view you basically formed an opinion based on his dress and manner of speech…sounds borderline racist to me.

Yeah this is definitely not a sport he will excel in. I still don’t get how he couldn’t get that rear-naked choke, Josh was flopping like a fish.

Josh isn’t an ADCC champ by any means but he’s got a a decent ground game and is good at getting out of trouble. Here’s one of his earlier fights, kinda similar to his fight w/Jesse:
good cuz josh is gonna have a lotta trouble to get out of w/ bisping. imho, bisping is by far the coolest mf on the show, ed is over-rated and yea, that was matt who was handing ed his ass in that party (of course they were fuckin around tho).
