    not bad Kimbo gets $500,000 to get dropped and stopped in 14 seconds lol. i guess thats part of the reason he was like “yeah f*ck it, im not worried about it, now lets go party” lol.

  • bvrasp says:

    Any comments about TUF tonight guys? man i hope Junie doesnt get kicked off the show, i really wanna see someone hurt that kid. Loud mouth little punk, he really was being a ***** man, getting in Kryzstofs face because he knew he wasnt gonna hit him for fear of going home.

    Man i wish Kryz would have just open hand slapped him across the face so hard that his head would be spinning for 5 min.

    Oh man i was so happy that other wannabe tough guy got tapped out, thats what you get for running your mouth and acting hard.

    • R.J. St.Croix says:

      oh man i have no idea how Krzysztof didnt pop that kids head like a grape. that guy reminds me of my buddy, his favorite saying is “you wouldnt say that if i was 6′1″ and 245lbs” and i reply “well your 5′2″ and 125lbs. so sit down and shut up!” and Junie is the same character. its always the little guys who have the biggest mouths lol.

  • bvrasp says:

    LOL at your buddys saying and your reply. Its that Napoleon complex, but still man, you see when Dana walked in he was all tears and apologies, then after his 2nd chance hes right back at it dead sober.

    I wonder what would happen if he pushed Nog, then Nog slapped him.. they cant kick Nog off the show lol, it be funny if he got slapped then booted with a hand mark on his cheek in the van on the way home LOL.

    • R.J. St.Croix says:

      oh man i would pay to see Nog slap that bone head…
      it would look something like this:

      LOL

      • bvrasp says:

        LOL i seen that before, but it still makes me laugh hehe. That kid Junie has got some serious confidence issues, everytime someone smiles or laughs he thinks theyre laughing at him. Wow.. he must have been picked on as a kid or something.

        Like when he jumped into the cage after Ephrain submitted his drinking buddy Shane. He will never make it in the UFC, i dont think hes gonna make it as a normal person in life either! hes gonna get himself stabbed or shot in some parking lot somewhere one of these days. You could give him 100 chances, nothing will change his nature except life experience, like if he get beaten down by a gang of thugs and ends up paralyzed. Hes gonna be laying in bed thinking, why? what was the point? then when its too late hes gonna finally realize the error of his ways… its really sad when you think about it..

        On a lighter note, Ephrain showed a TON of class, the smile never left his face even with some punk trying to instigate a fight with him, pushing him, etc.. The restraint he showed was great, then his performance in the cage solidified it. Wow! i was really impressed with that kid, i hope he wins the LW tourney. Same with Krzystof, both those guys just went up like 50 notches in my book.

  • bvrasp says:

    Oh ****! lol i just checked out some of the extra footage of that night on spike LOLOL oh man.. i cant believe dana kick that kid off the show man its ridiculous!

    Apart from his little rant, from whats shown and talked about on the extra footage, he also punched 3 guys and tried to kick Bader in the nuts 3 times!!! LOL wtf??? Its hard to tell but i think he punched Ephrain too.

    Can someone tell me why Junie Browning is still around? Jeremy Jackson got kicked off and BANNED from the UFC and all he did was get himself some *****. This guys swinging on everyone in the house which could cause a cut and ruin the entire tourney! but no, lets give him another chance.

    Dam Monstah Lobstah must be PISSED too! LOL he got kicked off just for doing a Big John impression.

  • bvrasp says:

    Doc you watching TUF at all? if so what you think about Junie and Danas decision?

    • Dr J says:

      Yeah I watch it. I think Junie should have already been kicked off. He’s done far more than others who have been booted and I dont know why he is getting a pass.

      I’m hoping they kick him off on next weeks’ show for jumping into the cage and causing a shoving match after Efrain won. But I’m not sure it’ll happen. Junie is writing the TUF blog this season for UFC.com so I’m not sure why they would have him do it if he was kicked out. But then again, maybe that is why they are having him do it.
