New The Ultimate Fighter show featuring Quinton Jackson and Forrest Griffin off to a great start with new formula

So apparently Dana White is so sick p**sies sneaking covertly on the show that couldn't take it any longer and for this block buster season of The Ultimate Fighter show featuring the first Ultimate Fighter winner, top light-heavyweight contender and a big fan favorite Forrest Griffin versus the current UFC light-heavyweight champion and Pride FC veteran Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Dana decided to turn the show "upside down"..well…at least for the opening of it.

He must have though to himself real hard - "hmmm…..no matter how hard the coaches make the contestants work out in the opening show, some how the "p**sies" still make it through….I got it!…. it's cause may be possibly "pu**sies" can be good at working out and be all into fitness and stuff but can't really fight!….so now I'll make them fight for the opening show! Ha, let them try sneaking in now!"

I have to say that it was definitely the most effective show opening for the series since ever. What a better introduction to the aspiring ultimate fighters than having them fight right off the bat and show everyone what they have as far as fighting skills versus fitness. The fans in turn got to watch a bunch of exciting fights with most of the fighters really putting it on the line to stay on the show. If the series will continue it's run, this should definitely the way to start the next runs.

Anyways, I'm sure you've seen the show yourself by now, so a few quick notes:

  • I don't know why but the 5 minute rounds seemed like forever, even in exciting fights. May be cause of the atmosphere of a small warehouse and just a few people cheering. 
  • Amir Sadollah won tough fight and is the fighter to watch in my opinion
  • I didn't think the producers did a good job with the play by play that Forrest and Rampage were doing, they should have had the Picture-in-Picture of the both at all times and even Dana too and turned up the volume a bit.
  • Dana should have changed the rules a bit and kicked both those guys that had the most boring fight of the night off the show and kept the guy that cut 17 pounds that gassed against Cale, he was good and exciting and would have been a contender I think, with some stamina of course.
  • Poor Dave Roberts! The guy somehow got to debut in MMA at UFC 20 against some pure BJJ'er at 19! Those were the dark ages of UFC for many, at least me and a few other people. Dammit, I watched that show in an empty hockey rink's coach's room by myself on DirectTV….I can't believe I did that just to watch a crappy UFC card.
  • Dana is such as sellout, he was willing to scare "the bejesus!" out of both Rampage and Forrest by making them watch the new horror flick "The Ruins"….just for a damn commercial!

Great show but I'm looking forward to more of Rampage entertaining for the rest of the episodes. I want to see more stuff like below!
