I just finished watching UFC 86. Man that was an exciting title fight! It felt like either Forrest or Rampage could win at any time. I was putting my hands up guarding the punches all the time

Jag zappade just in på TV4 Sport som ersatt Eurosport där jag bor och såg att, inte nog med att de just nu visar IFL (international fight league), imorgon ska de visa UFC 75 live från London! Det här är ju kanon! Först tyckte jag att det var lite synd att Eurosport försvann eftersom de visade Pride o.d. emellanåt, men det här är ju much better!

Missa inte UFC 75 imorgon lördag kl. 20:55-00:00. Här ska bullas upp och bänka sig framför TV:n.

I watched the latest episode of The Ultimate fighter earlier today (season 5 episode 8 ). In this episode two of the eliminated fighters got into a “street fight” where they pummeled each other in the yard outside the house where the fighters live. The following day UFC president Dana White came by and held a speech about how disgusted he was with their behaviour and how this ruined the image of MMA fighters as athletes that he’d been working to establish. In fact, he was so disgusted that he decided to include the entire fight in this episode and even showed the fight in the trailer to boost the ratings.

Now The Ultimate Fighter season 5 has started and I must say that it looks better than the previous season. The structure of this show is more “classical” with training, fights and a little drama. There will be more fights this season that the previous ones, which is nice. And the ring girl this season is Arianny Celeste which is sooo fine. She’s the prettiest of the octagon girls. (more…)

There’s a lot of good stuff on TV at the moment. By “on TV” I don’t mean Swedish TV, but stuff that’s available for download . The new season of Gilmore Girls has begun. The same goes for Battlestar Galactica. I watched the first two seasons not so long ago. A lot of people had talked about it at work so I decided to give it a try. Another series I like is the Unit.

Then there’s the Ultimate Fighter TV series which has become better since they reached the semi-finals. Now it’s more like the previous seasons where you get to see more of the training. There are also a lot of UFC and Pride events at the moment. There’s been one almost every week.

A series I started watching last weekend is Heroes. It seems interesting from what I’ve seen so far.

I started watching Hex, but I haven’t gotten into it. The pilot was good, but then, meh. I’m also watching the anime Bleach.

So, there are plenty of shows to watch, or as one of my colleagues would put it, waste my life on. In his opinion my whole life is a waste of time. He didn’t direct it to me, but he told me some things that he thought were “wasting your life” and it was like 90% of what I do on my spare time. Everything that isn’t renovating your house or polishing your boat is wasting your life according to him.

I’ve been following the Ultimate Fighter TV series since the start. I like to watch MMA (Pride and UFC) and the series has been good and entertaining. The fourth season is about fighters who have already fought in the UFC doing their comback by competing in the series. The coaches are (at the beginning of the season) Randy Couture and George St. Pierre.

I was really looking forward to seeing St. Pierre as a coach on the series, but in this season they are hardly showing the coaches or the training at all! Instead they’re showing clips from the fighters’ previous fights, which is interesting, but watching the coaches and the training process is 100x more interesting. I’m so bored with this season. It’s so much worse than the previous seasons, that were all good.

The fights in season 4 are very good, but that’s only a few minutes of the episode. I was definitely expecting more from this season. They tried something new and, in my opinion, it didn’t work.
