Raoul Duke Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 was last nights even worth watching Not so much if you paid. It was decent for a freebie. And it's always nice to see Hughes get smashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 So, I've mentioned this before in this thread but didn't really get a response.... Anybody have any clue where the UFC Training Center is located in Las Vegas??? Apparently it's kept secret, and I've google searched EVERYTHING!! At times during the Ultimate Fighter, you'll see a guy get eliminated and as he's walking to the car to leave, you can see the Rio and the Palms hotels almost right next door to them. I've always wondered exactly where it is. I've tried Google Earth too, but can't really make out the parking lot in that area. Anyone? I'd love to go visit when I head back there next month.

Mr. Everything Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 i doubt its an actual 'training center', per se the ring is probably in a wearhouse somewhere. they film the external shots of the building seperately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what another person said, you wont be allowed in or the UFC hedquarters either. So i guess if you want to drive by or something. I visited the Zuffa headquarters building in Las Vegas and they told me that the ufc training center on The Ultimate Fighter was a "working set" and not open to the public at all. They also wouldn't let me tour the headquarters, which kinda sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yah, that's kinda where I thought it would be. The bushses to the right of the parking lot look familiar. Sucks they won't let anyone near it, makes sense though. I'd also like to know where the TUF house is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritz Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Soo on final fighter did they ever get in trouble for trashing the house? I missed the end, but they did quite a number on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the end, but they did quite a number on it You mean Ultimate fighter?? No, They only get in trouble if they leave without permission, or fight each other at the house (previous seasons they were sent home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverforge Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Any predictions on the fighters for the finale? I reckon if Amir can manage to take CB this week he'll take the title Personally I think he should get a contract just for his self-depreciating interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if Amir can manage to take CB this week he'll take the title Personally I think he should get a contract just for his self-depreciating interviews Amir's the most entertaining fighter on TUF since Chris Leben, except for good reasons. Love his style too. But against CB, it's gonna be tough. If he can somehow get through him, I think he can beat anyone. But Jesse is pretty damn tough too, despite being an absolute moron. As for the finale, they couldn't get a matchup for the main event?? Tanner/Grove??? Meh. Could be okay I guess. I just remember last year's finale being soooo good (Huerta/Guida).

Raoul Duke Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Tim Credeur vs Jesse Taylor tonight on TUF. Should be a good fight, but I see Jesse being too overpowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Update.... UFC 88 has been announced. September 6, 2008 in Atlanta. Looks as though both Anderson Silva and Chuck Liddell will be on the card. http://mmamania.com/2008/06/07/ufc-88-chuc...on-september-6/ Edited June 13, 2008 by Johnny.

Yeah I know what you mean about the finale this year, I'm a fan of Tanner but his time even as a "gate keeper" is starting to fade. As for Grove, he's never really risen to the occasion in my opinion. I can't see this as being a really exciting fight, but one can never really tell with MMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 So, Chuck's opponent at UFC 88 will now be Rashad Evans. The PPV will now be called UFC 88: Liddell vs Evans. Clever, eh?? And there's rumblings that Dan Henderson could face Rich Frankiln at this show too!! That would be SIIICK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 AMIR SADOLLAH BABY!!!! How huge was that??? Anyone still watching TUF 7??? Crazy finish to the season. Jesse Taylor rightfully gets the boot for being a mongloid!!! And Amir BEATS C.B.!!!! Frickin awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Taylor rightfully gets the boot for being a mongloid!!! And Amir BEATS C.B.!!!! Frickin awesome!! Was beyond awesome, I actually jumped out of my chair and yelled when I saw the tap! I don't know if that makes me a crazy sport fan, or just a nut for getting that excited about a "reality" show I think Amir went from the underdog to the favorite. Watching CB get rocked on more than one occasion by both Amir and Tim sorta strips away some of his shine I can't see CB being able to consistently dominate Amir on the ground or getting him into a submission, so shy of a knockout I would definitely put my money on Amir. Just imagine what Amir will be like when he is a full-time fighter training with the best. Scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine what Amir will be like when he is a full-time fighter training with the best. Scary Especially since he's had a few extra months of training now. But then again, so has CB. I really wish Tim beat CB, so they coulda had two really cool guys in the final. I'm gonna be really pissed if CB somehow tries another boring donkey fight and gets a decision somehow on Saturday. But yah, my buddy and I were just as excited!! Did you hear Forrest hollering as if someone got murdered?? Funny stuff!! He was more excited than Amir!! Also, UFC 88 has now been named "Breakthrough" apparently. I'm anxious to see if Chuck can be the first to knock out Rashad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't give Rashad much chance of beating Chuck. I don't think he's dynamic enough of a striker and Chuck has some pretty slick take down defense. To be honest, Rashad bores the hell out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
