huan Says, in 5-15-2008 at 01:41:17 from 67.184.222.68

Gerald was wining… bad call by the ref.

mefninja Says, in 5-15-2008 at 01:42:43 from 64.231.232.113

im pretty mad with this call.. he was dominating the whole fight.. catches a knee.. and is compossed near seconds after.. he grabs the leg like he was doing the whole fight and they stop it?

CungLeFan Says, in 5-15-2008 at 01:56:12 from 68.84.9.25

hm, didn’t see that coming from the way things started…LOL

Frank Shamrock Says, in 5-15-2008 at 02:01:13 from 99.245.145.181

Anyone know where you could watch the whole episode? I wanna see screaming Rampage.

eyeless Says, in 5-15-2008 at 02:03:28 from 24.16.206.32

Impressive comeback win for Amir.

nuff sed Says, in 5-15-2008 at 02:28:44 from 72.253.180.209

Theres seems to be alot of these kinds of fights this season. Just wild swings, no takedown defense, and lay and pray. How do these guys make it onto the show with 0 professional fights?

Atom Says, in 5-15-2008 at 03:01:35 from 90.195.117.80

Thanks for getting this fight up so fast!
I like and appreciate the ground game but could see a large amount of holding and ‘lay and pray’ technique from gerald cos he didnt do much to capitalise after all his hard take down work. Which does make me glad to see Amir win as he showed good heart, strikes and worked well on the ground therefore an active fighter therefore good for MMA. BUT damn does he need to work on getting underhooks hahaha.

Tiger KNEE!

noname Says, in 5-15-2008 at 03:15:12 from 76.102.178.158

that guy was not out… and that f ref stopped the fight.

Xsn Says, in 5-15-2008 at 03:22:45 from 89.79.26.39

Excellent fight. One of the best in this season in TUF.

smack Says, in 5-15-2008 at 03:25:34 from 202.137.103.247

wonder who taught him those slams….ha…ha
good fight

TheAlmighty20 Says, in 5-15-2008 at 03:35:45 from 71.107.140.151

gerald really let himself down that time by not finishing. waht a shame.

frankPDX Says, in 5-15-2008 at 04:26:21 from 67.40.250.33

seriously! One of the better comebacks yet! took a lickin’ kept on tickin’

Bloodlinez Says, in 5-15-2008 at 05:12:35 from 207.6.226.173

finally a decent fight from the new season of TUF

gummo-815 Says, in 5-15-2008 at 06:24:35 from 75.21.102.94

looks like harris gassed, probably all the slams

Brewns Says, in 5-15-2008 at 06:47:23 from 142.167.34.185

Yesssss, ground and pounders are basic.. and boring.

field_negro Says, in 5-15-2008 at 07:48:41 from 196.206.79.191

my brother gerald is one phuck*n dimensional, having said that he’d still rail on half of these guys on the show. amir has a future in mma, i’m sure. i was watching the season wherein james(?) pulver was coaching, the andy wang vs white boy bout… that white cat was a freakin’ guerilla that seaon would murdalize these wannabees now…. damn i wish the caliber of fighter now where like the pulver season, that i would be more jacked up on this… well 84 coming soon, yeah biatches, yeah!!!

Matman Says, in 5-15-2008 at 10:07:19 from 74.58.18.65

Amir has the warrior spirit for sure. He stays calm and wait for his time. Good fight from both guys.

s Says, in 5-15-2008 at 10:37:23 from 99.227.133.231

ref stopped it too early, shouldve given him some time

1st Says, in 5-15-2008 at 11:09:41 from 200.120.130.46

At last a somehow decent fight. Gerald gassed out and all he could do was hold Amir’s leg over and over again. Awesome knee at the end. GG Amir.

PETER666 Says, in 5-15-2008 at 11:14:42 from 142.204.91.106

that was one of the best comebacks I’ve ever seen, aside from War Machine vs J-rock

christian Says, in 5-15-2008 at 11:41:27 from 68.238.95.133

hmmm,…I feel like that was blown by the ref

jack Says, in 5-15-2008 at 12:07:28 from 157.142.26.65

slams are overrated. they rarely do any damage and all they do is gas the guy doing the slamming. in the end all it usually is is a takedown and usually provides a better opportunity for the guy to bounce back up and get up.

min Says, in 5-15-2008 at 12:11:33 from 142.103.93.40

just like rampage: loves to slam and his weakness is knees in the clinch

Vegas=Dustbowl Says, in 5-15-2008 at 12:18:03 from 24.253.108.147

Fast stop but holding on to the leg is no defense from headshots. Good fight tho but in all this season sucks.

GJITs Says, in 5-15-2008 at 12:20:14 from 71.59.92.127

Jens Pulver IMO

rockoner Says, in 5-15-2008 at 12:20:56 from 198.45.18.70

it looks like the rampage team is falling apart one by one, once this is done can’t wait for the forrest and rampage fight, shit will be good!

Frank Shamrock Says, in 5-15-2008 at 12:54:08 from 99.245.145.181

You guys are getting butthurt about this. Fighters who have potential that don’t go through the semis could easily be picked up by the org. If they really suck, then too bad.

mmafighter32 Says, in 5-15-2008 at 13:30:25 from 75.75.161.241

not an early stoppage by ref…guy crumpled with the knee. number one rule is to protect the fighters…

Gotti Says, in 5-15-2008 at 13:32:51 from 64.220.153.34

How do these guys make it onto the show with 0 professional fights? Nuff Sed

I think its all about connection. Most of the guys on guys on the show are somehow tied to the coaches. I think one of the guys that lost in the first round was Rampage’s prodigy.
I have a friend who’s record is 9-1 or 10-1, can’t really remember.. who auditioned for the last season but wasn’t chosen and in my opinion could have been the winner of that season. It sucks to see great fighters go un-noticed.

Atticus Says, in 5-15-2008 at 13:39:35 from 76.110.87.75

I am sorry if I offend any TUF Loyalists out there, but don’t these “MMA” Fighters have to have a somewhat full circle game. Just because you roll around for three minutes does not mean it’s Ju-Jitsu. Wild Punches are not Thai or American Boxing, and what happened to hands up chin down? There good brawlers and the true Black Belt Ju-Jitsuist is the most well rounded fighter on the show. And he is a dick. Oh well can’t wait till Sat Night.

Landowner Says, in 5-15-2008 at 13:41:41 from 66.255.43.246

I don’t think it was an early stoppage at all. The ref gave him a warning and then when Garald still did not defend the ref stopped it. Sometimes the fighter knows the least about his situation. We don’t need someone getting needlessly hit while unconscious just so some can feel better about a loss. If you have little ones that depend on you a career as a fighter might not be the best choice.

mmafighter32 Says, in 5-15-2008 at 13:56:30 from 75.75.161.241

if you watched the whole episode you can see that the guy was pissed off because he thought he let his family down, in debt, etc. Thats why he was screaming he wasnt out and even rampage told him that if he gets caught, he needs to do more than grab a guys leg (single leg) in order to prove that hes not out. If i was the ref i would have done the same thing…protect the fighters…esp this early in their career…

Toxic_Society Says, in 5-15-2008 at 15:21:00 from 68.12.248.117

Yeah, though he might not have been out, he should have done more to prove it. If he didn’t lose by KO, he lost by stupidity because he made it look like he was out by not defending.

And I’ve been saying since the first show, Amir is gunna be a good fighter. All he has to do is get some kind of ground game figured out… he had a perfect triangle opportunity, instead looked for a next-to-impossible armbar. Teach him some Jiu Jitsu and he’ll go far.

Plus, he’s fought Muay Thai, that’s how he’s on the show with an (0-0) record. He’s obviously good there. ha, my hat goes off to Amir.

mmaguy Says, in 5-15-2008 at 15:39:36 from 76.92.138.29

I was at the Boston tryouts for the next season. I made it through the grappling and striking levels with flying colors, but apparently was not good enough in the interview. There were tons of SICK fighters there, I mean guys that look like they could take some of the top TUF champs. The best ones didn’t always advance through the tryouts, and some of the poorer ones did. There was really no correlation between skill level and advancement to the interview. It’s ALL about marketing: your charisma, how likely you’ll cause some drama, your story, your look, your nationality/race/sexual orientation/hometown for viewer demographics purposes, etc. It’s all about the show getting more viewers, which = more money. Rumor was in the tryouts they picked their top two or three guys they wanted to win and then the rest were cans that would be good for ratings. One guy that worked there said, “our trainers can teach anyone to fight, but we can’t make them look good on camera”.

yakBARwash Says, in 5-15-2008 at 15:46:34 from 76.160.161.179

Thank God Amir beat that lay’n'praying fucking wrestler. We don’t need another Rashad Evans/Maynard boring lay n pray artist

Ctr Alt Kill Says, in 5-15-2008 at 15:50:46 from 12.168.214.240

Seems too early…but I ain’t no ref.

rhetro Says, in 5-15-2008 at 15:50:50 from 71.136.33.246

amir’s takedown defense was frustrating.
i think that the ref’s stoppage was alright. he was telling gerald to work and he was just allowing himself to be punched.

Sunfish Hero Says, in 5-15-2008 at 20:16:32 from 75.111.34.153

Gerald = Rashad Evans. All he does is shoot for the double leg, ALL DAY. Then gets to the ground, utilizes and incredibly slow ground and pound game and basically squeaks out a decision. I’m happy he lost, it’s really annoying to see fighters like that succeed, they don’t put it on the line. They fight not to lose. Now a days with Dana White firing the boring fighters (i.e. Lutter, Starnes, and O’brien) Gerald won’t last long in the organization anyway.

Props to Amir for not getting frustrated with the cowardly lay and pray tactics from Gerald. Gerald may have been awake and holding onto a leg, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t getting hit. He wasn’t defending his head and Amir landed several shots. Gerald should have done something about, though I think he was still dazed.

Russell Says, in 5-15-2008 at 20:16:48 from 71.176.173.183

You cant take a knee to the chin, fall down at a weird angle and lay there not moving for 5 seconds while getting hit the the face…. The ref will stop the fight every time no matter if you’re out or not. And if you arent out, why just lay there not moving with your face on the ground.. whatever, I really like Amir, im glad he won

david Says, in 5-15-2008 at 20:19:02 from 99.232.168.208

what the hell, that was stopped so early. the guy who got knocked down was still grabbing onto his leg and trying to clear his head. maybe if he kept turtling for antoher few seconds stop the fight, but he could have rolled or tried to pull the other guy under

Jasonicus Says, in 5-15-2008 at 20:55:55 from 141.151.140.5

Good knee, but kind of quick stoppage there. Thats sucks for Harris.

Dovi Says, in 5-15-2008 at 21:03:40 from 65.30.146.107

It wasn’t too bad of a call, the way Amir was pounding him right to the face would’ve ended it soon. He really wasn’t defending, he grab the leg sure, but he was being punched in the face non-stop.

broseph Says, in 5-15-2008 at 22:03:59 from 76.97.154.207

wow, there have been too many contriversions for team forrest
anybody else notice amir grabbed the fence like 3 or 4 times

oh yea, freakin early stoppage

hatorade Says, in 5-15-2008 at 23:54:28 from 72.253.180.209

Thanks for posting this up MMATKO! Overall it was a painful fight to watch. Seems to be alot of these type of fighters this season. Lay and pray, and wild punches. Dont understand how these guys make it onto the show and not have any idea what to do in terms of takedown defense or submissions.

johnlotsadough Says, in 5-16-2008 at 03:42:29 from 75.54.135.28

No way this is outrageous!! This show has to be set up just like every other reality show. mmaguy is absolutely right, the pretty boy thats fighting next week is going to look like the badest of bad asses compared to the rest of these characters on purpose of course. they havent showed him fight but hes taking the whole thing its so obvious. for some reason im looking forward to seeing kimbo vs thompson more than rampage and forest.

Madvegas nightmare Says, in 5-16-2008 at 14:27:26 from 170.185.118.22

Excellent fight both fighters showed their strong points and amir was the better fighter. He stayed in there and avoided th TKO and waited for the moment to strike and he perfected it. He did excellent with Grappling and defended the ground and pound he will be a great fc fighter and more traing.

arse Says, in 5-16-2008 at 17:07:17 from 80.229.47.210

gerald tried hard but was a bit empty. amir gave it his all.

P.S HE WENT SO LIMP HOW CAN YOU SAY HE WASNT OUT?!?!?!?

mmafan Says, in 5-17-2008 at 08:57:43 from 68.198.131.19

Wow! With all that is being said about the TUF tryouts, I wonder how many of the great fighters in the UFC who did not have the benefit of TUF would be rejected? (If they were trying to make it into the org., let’s say)

Fantasy TUF cast: Bas Rutten, BJ Penn, Tito Ortiz, Nick Diaz (I get high!), Mayhem Miller, Rampage, Don Frye, Joe Rogan, “The Gracie Hunter” (love to see him smoking and drinking before the big fight), and ring girl Gina Carano.

I’d watch that.

Drew Says, in 5-17-2008 at 12:14:13 from 24.150.124.185

Maybe it was an early stoppage, maybe it wasn’t but the fight was fading fast for Gerald. You could see the beginning of the end when Amir was timing his shoots and sprawling effectively, while one-dimensional wrestlers do nothing but work for takedowns over and over again. That gasses you if you don’t set them up. The stoppage would’ve come sooner or later.

Kevin Says, in 5-17-2008 at 19:26:50 from 24.195.190.30

wow. the morons on this site who do NOT get in a cage continue to amaze me. “the ref stopped it too early” blah blah blah. he got hit in the chin with a KNEE and laid in the muslim praying position and just sat there. does a fighter need to be killed from too many shots to the head before you idiots realize that the refs are there to protect the fighter? if he’s doing NOTHING to defend himself, like for example blocking his head from being hit, then the ref will stop the fight. it’s even more annoying when a fighter can’t seem to realize that if you’re not defending properly, then it shall be stopped. oh, and TUF is for fighters to also progress that may not have world class training. so if they “suck” in your eyes, then you should’ve tried out for the show. just because someone doesn’t have any fights, doesn’t mean they’re not to get on a show to PROGRESS. ::shakes head:: it’s never fail to amuse me.

Mike Says, in 5-18-2008 at 03:58:13 from 24.185.203.128

It was a good stoppage! When Gerald went down and Amir was punching him in the head the ref yelled out twice, YOU HAVE TO WORK! It means you cannot lay there and get belted in the head with punches! Gerald did not try to block those punches, he went on instinct and held on to Amir’s leg as he was getting punched. I’m glad the ref stopped it, Gerald is a good fighter and may have a career in the UFC. He can’t do that if he has brain damage. Gerald got up and was fine because it was stopped in time. When do you think it should have been stopped? When a Gerald goes into a coma? Or suffers a career ending concussion? Bunch of retards! Idiots! I don’t even know why I bother.

Steamer Bean Says, in 5-18-2008 at 07:29:56 from 68.12.35.211

Even if it was a bad call I’m glad he lost. He’s a boring fighter that doesn’t belong in the UFC. It was so obvious what he was going to do, over and over. Can’t belive Amir wasn’t able to stuff the take down after the first couple shots. Amir got that fight handed to him. Hopefully he’ll keep training and not waste the opportunity.

Kevin Says, in 5-18-2008 at 15:32:46 from 24.195.190.30

exactly mike and steamer. i agree with both of you, BUT gerald can be good eventually when he has time to progress as a fighter. he’ll learn guys. i love amir though…i want him in the end because by he end of the show he might have great training and more skills.

jibba Says, in 6-8-2008 at 00:35:29 from 71.178.131.91

amir is a clone of forrest
look the same, i guess they sort of fight similar and they have a good sense of humor

Daniyal Says, in 6-21-2008 at 06:31:22 from 203.81.239.87

Good fight Amir deserves the win.. if you’re going to take your opponent down you better do some thing rather than let him dominate the guard. Amir was the busier fighter and would’ve won the decision if need be.

I love this site! Says, in 10-5-2008 at 14:03:21 from 72.2.166.250

even if he really wasn’t out, Amir would’ve finished him quickly. it’s just that the ref didn’t let Amir hurt Gerald really bad

Smokey Says, in 3-5-2009 at 20:17:04 from 70.191.125.110

Man, I just saw the Harris guy fight and his stand up was sick. Must have been training with a boxing team or something?
