Kennedy will get it, although I think Bisping won the final round. Kennedy did nothing with his take down.

This season of the Ultimate fighter looks great. Best talent in a while. Nordine vs King was almost as good as Bonner vs Griffen. That no hand knee bar was brutal. Think BJ ****ed up his team picks a bit though.

Would this be to do with a certain gif I saw floating around today re: some freaky kneebar? It looked like Taleb was the recipient?

Yeah that's the one.

.. Freakay.
You could make a gif on the coaches & Dana's reactions alone.

His knee bruized up straight away as well, no idea how that didn't end the fight, wasn't even moving badly after it.
Yep. Good to see a season that is based around two good fighters with a rivalry where they still respect each other.
I think that it might be at 145?

It is at 145. Not really happy to see BJ fight again, but at least it's not at 170 again where he'll be massively outsized.
I really don't care about the Penn/Edgar fight. There's plenty of fresh challenges for Edgar at 145 and they put him in yet another rematch. I don't think BJ has much hope of winning either.
The whole Nordine Taleb on two seasons of TUF thing was pretty stupid. Apparently TUF 19 was filmed before TUF Nations, which means that his second chance was actually on Nations. That makes a lot more sense than the other way as it initially appeared. The UFC basically spoiled the result of his fight to get into the house on TUF 19 by having him fight on yesterday's TUF Nations finale. His fight to get into the house was really good but I was just thinking the whole time that I know he's going to lose.

Does seem like the UFC f**king loves him though.

He will be big for 145, in fact the media is mostly looking forward to him making weight.
He looked trim in the first ep, not the norm for BJ.
I'd like this to either be the retirement fight for him or a 145 title shot if he wins. For Frankie too.

You would of never guessed Thiago Alves just came back from a 2 year lay off after watching that fight. Great leg kicks and still good power......+ only 30 years old. Alves can still be a force in the WW division
