The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck


Recommended Posts

It has begun. In antecipation for UFC 124, the 12th season of TUF is upon us. Here are the preliminary results for the house picks (my comments in bold):

# Jonathan Brookins

# Alex Caceres (Yager-Liter. Probably going out soon)

# Sako Chivitchian

# Michael Johnson

# Jeff Lentz (Big attitude problem but otherwise a good fighter)

# Sevak Magakian (Judo power in this one, good counter for the wrestlefests)

# Andy Main

# Cody McKenzie (my first pick for winning this. Tough as nails.)

# Spencer Paige

# Nam Phan (Pretty weak for a guy who's been into martial arts all of his life)

# Dane Sayers (Good fight but weak gas, a bit of a dodgy chin. This season's Cris McKray)

# Marc Stevens

# Kyle Watson

# Aaron Wilkinson

We already know the editing is dodgy but from the preview looks like there is going to be plenty of fireworks in the house since Josh is a grade A douchebag who's going to big a grade A douchebag team. I hope Cody gets picked by GSP.

What the heck Michael Johnson ?

For a supposedly good wrestler, he couldn't do anything at all from his back or defend the takedowns. Altough he won, for me he didn't justify his place as #1 pick. The other guy was just gassed as hell. His technique was crappy too. He didn't even put the hooks in, both times he got the back position.

Another boring fight. It started well with them banging but then Andy Main just jumps on the Kyle's back... and stays there like a monkey. Not even in a body triangle, just hanging there. Submission win not very surprising, Andy's BJJ was miles away from Kyle's.

Next episode, GSP brings a good trainer to teach his team. Kos brings King of the Lay and Pray Jon Fitch to train his... I can't hardly wait :rolleyes:

Leeroy is really starting to irritate me...That guy he almost got into a scrap with is irritating as well.

I'm wondering if Kyle and GSP got to talking about his Hughes' fights and what they think of each other haha.

I know someone from GSP's team is bound to lose sooner or later, but since most of them are alright it seems, I hope it's Leeroy who gets humbled and eventually the boot. This is the first time I've watched TUF despite being a UFC fan for years. How does the format work? When do people start getting cut and sent home?

The format was changed in the 10th season. 14 fights, 7 advance and then there is a wildcard spot. Now they stay in the house for the competition so there is more "drama". Mind you, most of the drama is made by tricky editing. Leeroy is just playing mind games with them as he should. Sevak is a walking stereotype of the psycho armenian. Don't be so sure that Team GSP will lose. Team Rashad but on a 7-1 sweep of Team Rampage because of Rampage's equaly bad training. If Kos only motivation to win is that he does not like to lose, this season may end up in a 7-0 sweep for GSP and Kos only gets one guy into the quarter-finals because both the wildcards are from his side. Every season has a heel. Last one was Yager, before that was Matt Mitrione. While Yager sucked, Mitrione has gone on to be 3-0 in the UFC despite looking like an awful fighter during the season. Take what you see with a grain of salt.

JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY! Terrible fight, terrible fighters.

Nam Phan, like I said, pretty weak. Gets Spencer down, dominating position and can't pound him out or even do significant damage of any kind. Gets a Kimura but isn't able to finish it.

Spencer Paige fought pretty badly also. Throwing wild kicks and falling down. Just getting beat up.

Nam won't go far in the competition. Doesn't have the skill or the power to do it. Only won because Spencer fought even worse than him.

Yeh pretty weak fight, Spencer fell over so many times trying kicks.. Nam was ok, neither fighter impressed that much, next weeks episode looks good, gloating from Team Koscheck!

Is it just me or cant everyone else wait for GSP to just blow his lid on Koscheck? Id love to see that, i bet he is ****ing mental when he kicks off.

I don't agree with "ok". He could not properly finish a Kimura that was pretty much a done deal. If Spencer hadn't broken his hand, he would have just stood in the pocket blocking shots with his face. How far could he go in a division as overflowing with skilled fighter as LW in the UFC?

He's also 16-7 so that's 23 fights. If didn't learn to finish a Kimura like that in that many fights, he cannot learn fast enough to be in the UFC or even the WEC.

Spencer Paige fought pretty badly also. Throwing wild kicks and falling down. Just getting beat up.

he broke his hand and shin in the first round, give the kid a break, he had the fight won in the first 2 minutes until his hand broke. He showed a lot of potential. The fact he fought in the second round that well is amazing.

he fell because his SHIN was broken, which ****s up all the support and you'll need to put on the leg that's broken to hold you up, him falling makes sense...

I understand that but if his shin was broken WHY throw kicks? If they hit Nam's elbow again, he could cripple his other leg and be out of comission for the possible wildcard. He should have played to Nam's weaknesses and tried something else but looks like he doesn't have any ground game so he just stood there and took a beating.

**** given the kid credit for his heart eh?

Credit not valid for an UFC contract when this is over and that's not going to be good for him in the long run :pinch:

The heart thing has a tendency to work with guys who power trough the injury and win like "Struve has heart" "Franklin has heart".

Team Koscheck was OWNED.

Like I said, Cody McKenzie is in it to win it. He just did what he does best and cut trough Marc Stevens like butter.

Jonathan Brookins impressed me. He finished Sevak without an hitch. That moment with the feint was laught out loud. For all his agressive personality, Sevak lacked the skills to defend himself properly. This is probably going to be 6-1 to GSP.

Just looked up his record, he lasted until the 3rd round with José Aldo in WEC 36. This kid may very well have the skills to win this after all.

Wow, I was shocked when Mckenzie pulled off the win like that. Then I looked at his stats and wasn't surprised one bit. LOL at Stevens coach asking him if he'll be able to defend a guillotine, and Stevens saying "yep no problem".

Both fights were excellent. Koscheck genuinely looked horrified. I still think that Mckenzie is being a little too cocky with Koscheck though.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
