Arlosvski still speaks with a thick accent, and he got his own damn tv special. Anyway, all I'm saying is since they're OBVIOUSLY out of ideas for coming up with TUF contestants, why don't they start bringing in some foreigners? I know that UFC prefers americans, and that's fine, no problem. In the UFC we're not looking for the best communicators, we're looking for the best fighters...

I mean hell, I can understand goulet as well as pointon, so what's the deal?

Sorry bout the lame thread, just gettin it out there...

If people can't understand what he's saying then it doesn't exactly make for good TV. Granted i would have liked him to be on the show but that's cause i like him as a fighter but I'm not just a random guy flipping through the channels that UFC/Spike are trying to attract.

I think we can all agree that getting rid of Danny Abadi or Mike Stine and putting in Goulet would have been a great thing.

AA got his own all access special but Rachelle did most of the talking.
