Untelevised TUF fights

thedon · 06-17-2006, 11:43 PM

on the night of the finals, the untelevised matches will be:
-Matt Hamill vs. Jesse Forbes
-Kalib Starnes vs. Danny Abaddi
-Rory Singer vs. Ross Pointon
-Solomon Hutcherson vs. Luigi Fioravanti
-Mike Nickels vs. Wes Combs

why would they make them untelevised?

The show is LIVE and I'm guessing SPIKEtv didn't want to give them 3 or 4 hours to show them all. But I'm sure the'll have 'em on the UFC on Demand thing or show them later, at least some.

Thank you for the excellent post, thedon.
I'm glad to see Matt having a bill on the card. He wasn't my favorite out of the athletes, but his scene of disbelief when he was informed of his replacement in the semi's was sad. I feel he can go quite far in the UFC; a wrestler taking out a professed 'expert' in jj and 'street fighting', with a bad elbow to boot, really did impress me concerning his abilities. His humility was a huge bonus trait for me as well, and I hope to see more of him in the UFC.

notice Noah, Tait and Kristian aren't fighting...you don't say no to dana white lol

Good call; they were the token whiners this time around for sure. Kristian especially, mr. 40-3 not wanting to fight, with the real reason being he's afraid to lose on TV again? Tait's not 'in the right frame of mind'? Noah's imaginary problems with his girlfriend? Network drama at its finest, I'm sure.

FYI-I can't find any actual record info on Kristian at either FCF or Sherdog, not even a name. Where has he been fighting, backyards and barmitzvahs?

True.

But honestly, I wish they would show all the fights because there isn't shit on tv worth watching, especially on Spike. I wouldn't mind sitting around and watching all the fights.

What are you talkin' about. There's BLADE!!!

Yeah, "How do you kill something that's already dead?"

Give it a series on Spike TV.

I know, it's like that incredibly crappy movie Aeon Flux.

Executives: The show failed miserably on MTV, so let's make a movie out of it!
