I'm pretty sure nobody made him sandbag during practice, say that he has sex 3x a day and was going to break his GF's back when he got home, say that Matt got lucky during the fight, etc.

Yes. I actually began hating him as a human being. That's how annoying he is. The show is promoting this bullshit though. The guys know they'll get more face time by acting like retards. It's more about jackasses and less about fighting.

I think the show is going down the shitter...

Of course I'll still watch though.

They are able to represent anyone on the show however they want with the amount of editing involved. In this case though it seems like he was fairly represented

you're both right.

of course he was misinterpreted. clearly he was not liked by anyone in the house, but also it's a heavily edited reality show that gets viewership by creating angst.

everyone should know this since Real World 1 back in the early 90's, and anyone who takes what they see on a reality show as gospel is a fucking idiot.

that being said, i've read 6 or 8 articles on mmajunkie & mmaweekly written by house members, and all agree he was a tool. so even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[ninja_spirit]

the guys acted pretty dumb but i think he deserves another chaznce

I can't believe I am saying this, but...Wrong Forum. This ____ ___ belongs nowhere in the heavies. Take it to the TUF forums. Ugh.

[warhenry]

he looked fucking horrible in that fight so it doesn't matter...but then again, everyone looked horrible. Jesse's going to win the whole thing, which is sad because he's losing to the first decent BJJ guy he fights in the UFC.

ugh...what a horrible season.

i can't believe they turned down Gary Padilla for these scrubs...

"This season you are seeing a lot of fights and not so much house time. I am one of the few people still supporting Jeremy May at this point. Riddle and others are telling me I am crazy and the guy is bad news. I feel like we need a win, and I really do not care who it comes from. In my years of wrestling, I had many teammates with whom I did not see eye to eye, but I needed -- the team needed -- their six points. To me Jeremy was no different. I did not have to love him to want him to win for us. He was not going to get invited to Arizona to hang out with me anytime soon. But he was standing between us having control and not having control. For that reason alone, I was willing to tolerate him and his antics.

The weigh-ins for his fight with Matt Brown reminded me of a cheesy high school fight. Pretty lame showmanship, and May was showing cracks in his exterior. The thing with Matt is that he is a real fighter -- in life and in the octagon.

I was hoping for our sake that he was letting the emotions of the events get to him. At this point I had decided that Jeremy had better be the best freaking fighter in the house because he was not training with us. He would ride the bike and talk crap all day long. So either he had something up his sleeve or he was going to be destroyed."

"As the fight begins, we see that "Jeremy Jitsu" is the art of allowing your opponent to take you down and get full mount at will. Jeremy was saddled up and mounted like a horse. This might be the first martial art that is officially geared toward losing. I think the three guys from the sandwich shop were black belts in Jeremy Jitsu. The drunkest one surely had JJ-type moves.

Toward the end of round one, in a move not often seen in Jeremy Jitsu, Master Jeremy pulls off a "lure kick" to the face. That is where you leave your guard down and lure your opponent to kick you in the face. I think the referee in the fight was not up to speed on Jeremy Jitsu and thought Jeremy was in trouble and called the fight. In Jeremy Jitsu, getting KTFO is a part of the art form.

At that point both teams join in and celebrate Matt's victory. Matt dominated Jeremy from start to finish."

"Anyway, after Jeremy's loss he was playing soccer in the house trying to stay relevant to the cameras. He was kicking the volleyball and doing all sorts of stupid and annoying things. So I grabbed the volleyball and loaded up and unleashed it. The ball was filled with karma -- not air -- so when it traveled off my foot, it headed straight for Jeremy's face. He was sitting there nursing a broken nose, and out of nowhere, this volleyball smashes him in the face.

I will admit that I rewound that scene and played it over and over again and laughed. Good times -- and what a great volleyball. I think a bonus round in the UFC video game should be kicking Jeremy May in the face with balls. It would be great fun for the whole family."

hahah awesome read

[Bloodworth]

messing around with people he doesn't know
Poring out vodka and pretending to take shots
lying to get out of training with the top trainers
the stupid faces he makes

and the fact that it seems that everyone in the house hates him is no way a misrepresentation

[avid]

Is it just me or do all the fighters gas by the end of the first round and seem to be of mediocre skills at best?
