just a stretched out version of the second fight. Was all this really necessary? Notice none of the usual UFC celeb fans were present? The only thing I was interested in Hamill and how he would do and he gassed second round, what a disappointment.
Frank Stallone was there?! Well it makes perfect sense as perhaps he'd be the only celeb Dana could convince to be seen there. Maybe Dana will send Ken to the Contender now
Aside from Grove it wasn't a very impressive night from the TUFers was it. It would have been nice to see Marquardt's fight as he'll likely get a title shot soon but it's all about the TUFers.

Totally agree. THAT was the only impressive thing about last night's event.
And if Dana ever hopes the UFC gains more exposure along with credibility - they need to lose those two losers as commentators. Get some REAL commentators out there. Please.
Ah, but I guess Dana could always say, with some pride, "we got Jenna Jameson watching our events!"
McDonald put on a BJJ clinic on how to fight a wrestler. The way he used Ed's momentum to roll right into the triangle was textbook. Great fight.
I heard that the Singer/Haynes fight was entertaining with both guys knocking each other down with punches and head kicks.
Woulda been nice to see Marquardt too as his win via choke sounded impressive. I know why the UFC instead featured the TUFers but c'mon, Nate is a 7 time Pancrase champ in Japan and a legitimate contender in the 185s.
btw, did anyone else catch Rogan rolling his eyes at Goldy at the end after Goldy blurted out "stay tuned because there will be alot of hotties at the scream awards"? Instant classic.

Dangit! I missed the eye roll and my DVR crapped out during the fight so I don't have any way of going back. Oh well. You know, Rogan isn't that bad of a commentator, but that other guy really needs to take some lessons in class. I'm usually have tempted to mute the tv he's such an ass. Also, has anyone else noticed the reluctant consumption of xyance or whatever sports and engergy drinks after matches? that's getting a bit annoying.
He took way to many shots, and that took the wind out of his sails. He also was very sloppy on the ground. A good Jiu Jitsu player would have submitted him.
He needs to expand his game. Right now he is still just a wrestler.
Goldberg: "I really don't like the way Hamil is holding his hands!"
Guess it sucks when you can't hear Tito screaming "keep your hands up matt!!" : - )
Oh Yeah....

NO DOUBT!!! That was frickin beautiful.....short fuse was visibly confused. A Triangle + arm bar + kimura + a few shots to the skull....classic!
