The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck


Recommended Posts

General notes from the episode: Team Kos says what everybody already knows: Kos sucks as a coach. Probably on the same level as Rampage. And in other awful news, Nam Phan took cornering duties again. I wish he would just shut up.

1st fight:

3 round war. The referee was suffering from retardation. They should have been stood up multiple times. Brookins was dominating but he wasn't advancing the position or attacking with shots. He consistently went for a RNC. Kyle showed good use of butterfly guard to stand up but in the end he wasn't attacking in any signifcant way. Not even a triangle attempt. He would have lost anyway but he could have least tried a Kimura from guard in the end as a go for broke move.

Like I predicted, Brookins is in the finals. No surprise here, he stood with Jos? Aldo for 3 rounds so we know he can deliver.

I'll post the comments for the 2nd fight later.

2nd fight:

Bye bye Nam Phan. He again showed in the fight what I said before: he lacks killer instinct to finish the fight. Michael Johnson was gassing again, eating punches left and right and Nam, who had much better striking, let himself be hugged on the fence. Michael Johnson took Nam down but couldn't do anything with it, didn't even try to attack. He just took him down for points. His striking had power behind it but lacked technique.

Both my picks for the finale ended up being correct. For the finale, easy: Brookins. Johnson lacks the gas tank and technique to stand and bang or to fight on the ground. Brookins will it him with a vertical drop and RNC him.

FINALE: Well... it sucked. Decision fest. Even Bonnar went to a decision! Bonnar! TO A DECISION!

Brookins got his chin tuned over and over again. Granted, he has a good chin but he took way more hits than he should. Johnson showed improvement since his days in the house, his striking technique was crisper and his gas is MUCH better. In the 2nd round, Brookins took him down and GnP him. Johnson just couldn't get himself up. Pretty balanced fight for the first 2 rounds with each fighter taking a round. 3rd round is the charm. Brookins tried the lateral drop and it almost failed him. I know it's your signature move but you need to fight smart. Again Broolings by GnP takes the round and it's over. Another correct pick for me: Brookins wins TUF by decision.

Props to Herb Dean for keeping the action going instead of letting them stall.

Also props to Nam Phan for not pulling the trigger in the 3rd round against a very tired and very gassed Leonard Garcia and losing the decision in the process.

the guy i wanted to win won (Y)

he has a lot of work to do though brookins. Rogan was bang on with his analysis with the way brookins stands, his chin just asked to be punched ever fight.

and nam pham got screwed, i thought he won all three rounds. Kid has tons of potential.

Your pick to win this was wrong from the get go, it's only after Mckenzie's loss that you had to re-evaluate.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
