Nice performance from Fletcher.
Fletcher did look good, he used his length well, good striking and good grappling. Team Aussie defo under estimated him.

He's got an interesting frame for 155. Similar to Jon Jones at 205. Long reach (with his arms and legs), tall and pretty skinny. Those knees he was able to hit in the clinch against the fence were nasty. A lot of guys can't do that. Like I said when they announced the cast, I see him winning for the Lightweights. There's a guy on Team Aussie that I think has a decent chance at beating him but that'll probably end up being the finals.
The guy I'm talking about is Richie Vaculik
Budge knocks out jjeans with a nasty punch. Very quick and very impressive for Budge:
Robert Whitaker (9-2), 21, Sydney (welterweight) - Budgellism beats Luke Newman (5-0), 22, London (welterweight) - jjeans rd 1 KO

I just finished watching it. Luke came in with HUGE shots. That could have easily gone the other way. Beautiful overhand right though to end things off

TUF Smashes > TUF 16 All day imo.
Im enjoying both, there seems to be more heat on TUF 16 though between the fighters in the house.
Brutal, George112 brutilizes cowcatcher, I personally felt the fight should have been stopped, cowcatcher was bleeding all over the place.
The theme continues across both versions of TUF, the coach picking the fight loses, got to be some of the worst match making we've ever seen on TUF.
-Norman Parke (16-2), 25, Bushmills, Northern Ireland (lightweight) - george112 beats -Richie Vaculik (9-1), 29, Sydney (lightweight) - cowcatcher UD

Boy, was I wrong about Vaculik. Brits have the LWs and Aussies have the WWs so far.
Those elbows at the end of the 2nd round were nasty. I thought it was going to get stopped as well.
The fights on this version of tuf have been infinitely better than tuf 16. The guys on the show are more interesting as well. Freakshow is growing on me more and more as the weeks go by

goddamnit!!! just watched the latest episode & the video suddenly stops at the end of the first round

I assume from your posts that TheAussie LW doesn't score an upset KO in the 2nd. haha Overall a pretty bland episode.. the Aussie team goes for a jog on the beach & the UK team cleans the kitchen..........

haha
shaneTpain ruthlessly slams JLS1980 on his head before sinking in a choke. Any one else finding Pearson's constant wining annoying, not keen on him or George as a coach but I certainly prefer George.
Manuel Rodriguez (9-3), 27, Sydney (welterweight) - shaneTpain beats Bola Omoyele (6-1), 30, London (welterweight) - JLS1980 by rd1 North South choke.

I'm feeling the opposite to be honest. I like Pearson as a coach and George isn't coming off well to me.
That was a weird fight. Bola was beating him everywhere and then the slam took everything out of him. Aussies 3-0 in the Welterweight division. It would be crazy if all the UK Lightweights won and all the Welterweight Aussies won.
I was thinking that as well, Im enjoying both seasons of TUF, its mad having 2 running side by side.

I real feel for Manny, that guy has a ton of heart, I hope he gest a fight in the UFC once his leg fixs.
As Manny drops out shaneTpain automatically gets his replacement, James Vainikolo.
Now on to the fight, FF47 win by decision ove the young kid that no one picked. I personally agreed with the decision. Brendan Loughnane did more damage at the end of rd 1 then Patrick Iodice during the whole of that round and Brendan dominated rd2. So far the UK have 3 LW's and Aussie have 3 WW's. Thats crazy LOL.

I agree with the decision too. Patrick really didn't do much and he's clearly got a lot going on in his head that only experience can help him with. It sucks that Manny had to go. That's a nasty leg kick.
The guy replacing Manny is an okay fighter. 8-4 with wins over mostly .500 or below guys.
I'm looking forward to next week's episode.

LOL! Russel Bandigo was so funny.

Its impossible not to root for the guy, especially after he showed Manny the most compassion out of everyone in the house. WAR FREAKSHOW !

Agreed. Freakshow is easily my favourite person in the house and my pick for LW winner since day one. Hopefully he can pull it off. I like his chances over the other two uk guys who have made it so far.
Ive tweeted Freakshow, Im gonna interview him once the show finishes, also Mike Wilkinson is on my show next week.
