which one do you think is better I watch both but I personally prefer TUF just because its more organized and theres more training and fighting footage than in TapouT where you only see the fight and the other 45 minutes is them traveling around. I mean don't get me wrong the Tapout guys are funny and all but I like to see the fighters training routine leading up to the fight. What about you?

I totaly agree, I think Tapout tends to appeal to younger kids like around 13-15 becuase the guys are " Characters " but it is an ok show that has some interesting fights but I prefer TUF.

Ha, did you really think it would be close, not one person picked tapout and im not surprised. Half of the show isnt MMA, its three assholes running around dressed like fags and laughing really loud.

How can you even compare that embarassment? lol

at first i though the tapout guys were kinda funny but they really need to get some new material big time. the more i watch the less it seems like they are funny and the more it seems like they just have a few little things that come off kinda funny at first. i mean come on we dont need to hear mask and scrape yelling peoples names over and over again and enunciating weird parts of the name. mask did branch out a little in the most recent episode and add some shizzles in but thats not exactly sophisticated comedy. at least the last fight was a war though...

I enjoy both but if I had to choose, I'd pick TUF...for now. If it doesn't change next season...well, I don't know. I'm really sick of the soap opera BS that comes along with it. It needs to be based more around actual MMA.

So...TUF with Tapout not far behind.

TUF by virtue of being a better produced show with a bigger budget, better fighters and showing the final fight in its entirety.

But I would rather watch a 2nd season of Tapout than a 7th season of TUF in its current format. I'm basically done getting hyped for TUF fighters...at least Tapout shows some different schools and events which is a nice look at MMA culture.

I can't stand the Tapout guys, if they weren't on there for more than a few minutes I'd watch it. TUF has a better production I think...

TUF is killing Tapout in the voting which is what I was hoping for and expecting.

Tapout.

Normally, I'd rather watch TUF, but after these past lackluster season, its sort of lost its hype from me. Tapout always brings in new retarded ideas, and atleast makes it interesting. Oh and they don't show pussys' crying and complaining for more than half of the show.
