Sorry guys, you've never given the other TUF winners this little credit and this much abuse, your vehement denial that you have anything against people from the UK is looking like a pretty transparent lie.

yes they're new, yes they are unproven, they could still be the future of the division and there's no way to know. Do we have to go through this -again-?
While I agree, the point stands that in the finale, they both looked like piss.

Have you read this forum? Almost none of the winners of tuf get respect. This season stands out as it was weak ass opposition with a weak ass finale. He didn't have trouble taking whitson down you say? i fail to see how that is a counter to how dreadful his performance was on the finale. Gameplan: Clinch, reverse clinch= not impressed.

Have I read this forum? good question idiot, why not take a look at my posting history and join date.

Since Forrest and Rashad have brought credibility to the series some of the TUF winners have been given at least some credit, now that seems to have been stopped on the basis of nationality and wrestling credentials.

You don't seem very sharp so i'll reiterate, Pearson obviously has some good wrestling since he managed to take down your precious high school wrestling alumni on the show, if they weren't taking eachother down it's because they know from training that they nullify eachother's wrestling.

There were good techniques in that fight, it might not be the most exciting fight to someone who's not very educated in the sport but if you watch some muay thai clinch wars you'll see that there is a lot of skill in landing effective strikes from the clinch. It was obvious from episode 1 of that TUF that the Brit team were better in the clinch and I commented on it quite early. It's probably one of the main reasons the US team came off badly in the series, they got so caught up thinking the UK team were missing part of the game that they didn't realise that they were better at some parts.
