Tuf Live episode 2 Thread (spoilers)

Great Ko from Vick. I thought Daron looked like one of the better fighters on the show after his performance in week 1, but glad he got put to sleep since he seemed a bit full of himself.

Vick is an interesting guy at 155 though he's super long, but he's not really as thin as you'd think for still being able to make 155 at his height.


Btw anyone think Anik's post fight questions with the fighters is weird and a bit awkward? From him just being there to him deciding to interview a guy who just got Ko'd, asking him about the fight and then his future. And then of course finishing the whole thing with a "congratulations", really this dude just got put to sleep and you end your convo with him with congratulations???

Seems they're having some problems with the live fights, anyway ... very hard KO, bad timing on the TD attempt.

Too bad about the guy who lost his father (although it was expected)

Fight picks were crazy and this matchup looks awesome !!!!!!

Faber was ... lost for words ? :-D

sad episode for sure with guy father passing but was a nice KO by Vick

I caught like 20mins in the middle of the episode and fell asleep.. will try to watch again today lol

I like how Vick basically he admitted he got lucky. "I was trying to throw a low kick, and he just sort of shot into my knee."

I haven't really followed the show or all the guys on it that I didn't already know, but Marcello/Lawrence seems like it should be the final from what everyone is saying on the webz. But then again, these are the same people who think Lawrence can absorb Anderson Silva's skills because he's on "team Black House" (which I don't know how many times people need to be told is a management company, not an actual gym).

Just watched it.....massive KO, was not expecting that.

Dont see Vick getting to far though, he will be wrestlefucked along the way somewhere.

Lawrence was quite impressive against a tough fighter in Krause so I can see why people are so high on him but he will have a hella hard time against a vet like Marcello next week....Cruz allowing Faber to pick Marcello was a boneheaded move IMO....trying to get that psychological advantage like that wasn't the way to do it.

There is a Black House gym, in L.A

Cruz actually ended up picking Marcello himself after Faber and his team turned mute.

Still stupid, way too much ego thinking Lawrence will defeat Marcello.....why not build the kids confidence slowly.

That's where Anderson trained for the Sonnen fight I believe.

I thought giving Fabers team the pick was good thinking on Cruz part even though Cruz ended up making the pick. I think that shocked alot of guys on Fabers team when Faber said "ok boys who wants to step up" and none of the guys stepped up.

Cruz- +1
Faber- 0

[Think Green]

The Nog's Blackhouse gym is in SD as well... I'm not sure where Lawrence trains out of though.

[vikingpride]

Strange move on Cruz's part, but he (or maybe Faber) said something along the lines of do you want the finals now. So it seems like Cruz is looking to take out the toughest guy on fabers team to make sure his team wins this thing.

Strange move, but if it works he'll look like a genius. Lawrence is obviously skilled and very explosive on the feet, but we saw next to nothing of his ground game. I'm guessing he showed a ton in practice though in terms of TDD for Cruz to have the confidence in putting him vs Marcelo.

[bail3yz]

Faber was the one that said that

[Punch Me]

Marcello is probably screwed ? I guess Cruz picked him for a reason, he's not stupid.

I can see Lawrence storming right through him. I also can faintly see a sub ... we'll see !

I'm with Lawrence !
