K-lovely's Team Rampage Week 2 Blog

This week the show starts out with Team Rampage naturally. Kimbo starts explaining how he is sizing up the competition on the show and the lack of experience he has in fields of MMA. At least he can admit that he has a lot of learning to do. I’m happy to see that the first asshead coming to light is on Team Rashad with Roy. Get over yourself buddy! I liked how the coaches gave it to him straight and told him they feel he is un-coachable and can’t handle criticism. The one thing I can’t stand seeing is coaches babying these guys. It was funny listening to Roy talk about 2 masters and such. Wake up Roy…you’re not a master dip shit! If you were a master your ass would either have a contract already or you would be coaching, not competing on the show. So as Jake the Muss would say “DO WHAT YOUR FUCKEN TOLD!!”

Time to pick the next fight and Rampage goes with Wes Shivers against James Sweeney. Of course Rashad gets his panties in a bunch because Rampage goes after his first pick. I mean he is going to fight any way why cry about what order it’s in. You go Rampage!

Now I would like to make a quick little mention about the little confrontation the coaches had about training time. I feel Rampage was justified at being upset about them in on their time. Rampage did approach him in a civil matter. As he said he is not the cocky one (he is the fine one) and Rashad could have been a man about it and apologized and moved on. To say that Rampage’s guys aren’t going to do anything isn’t his call to make anyway. Especially when his guys were just sitting around rubbing each other’s backs talking about feelings. Give me a break! I can tell you in two words how it feels to lose IT SUCKS! There you go, get your shit and get out of the gym. No need for a team pow wow. If the roles were reversed everyone would be crying & bitching that Rampage is such an asshole and blah blah. HATERS!

Wes Shivers vs James McSweeney
The first round (and only round with real action) both guys come out swinging. Shivers gets McSweeney down but really doesn’t seem to know what to do on the ground but hold him down with his weight. They stand up & McSweeney starts landing some hard leg kicks. Shivers is able to land some hard punches on McSweeney but you can see that Shivers is getting tired. McSweeney tries to land some big punches but the round ends with him getting in leg kicks and slowly chopping the big man down.

They start the 2nd round and both guys look tired. McSweeney continues to land those leg kicks and Shivers is swinging but isn’t landing anything damaging. Shivers catches a leg and takes McSweeney down. Shivers gets him in the mount but can’t finish him. They both get back on their feet and just look at each other. They are exhausted and you can hear Rashad in the background going CRAZY! McSweeney lands a nice kick to the face but it doesn’t do a thing. At the end of the round McSweeney attempts a choke but can’t hold it.

Its announced that a decision has been made so there will not be a 3rd round. By majority decision the winner is James McSweeney. I hate to say it but, this is the most pathetic fight I have ever seen!! Honestly I could expect this out of former NFL player but for Rashad’s #1 pick to be this horrid as well shocked the hell out of me! Especially since he said he has “stand up second to none & would walk all over Wes Shivers.” I think Dana should have walked right in the middle of the fight and told them both to fuck off! He doesn’t need heavyweights coming in that are just going to stand around and play patty cake. Honestly I don’t know how anyone could be happy with this win. Yes in the end Team Rampage lost another one and we are 0-2. I believe Rampage can do it and rally his team together for a victory. Yes, even if that means our first victory comes from Kimbo. My love for Rampage is the only reason why I would root for Kimbo to come out victorious.

T-Dubb's Team Rashad Win # 2

Second episode of TUF 10 was ok. Kimbo says he's a sponge. He looks like a big hairy joke. I can't stand it when people think they know everything and always have answer before you finish your sentence. Just shut up and listen. If you were doing things right to begin with you'd be a coach on the show and not someone trying to resuscitate his career through a tv show. Yes Roy, I'm talking about you. The next fight between Kimbo and Roy should be good though. I’d have to say that Roy will win just because he’s on Rashad’s team. I can’t go against Rashad. This will probably go to decision if Roy wins. Kimbo will only win if he knocks out Roy.

James is hot. Love the accent. There isn’t much else to say, except thank goodness he was able to get in those leg kicks. Rampage was complaining just to be complaining about the training time. He loves attention. Me me me me me!!! Wes…ummm why are you out of shape? Weights are not enough for fighting. Dana should have a to do list for the guys to complete before taping starts, like run...run...run some more and lots of conditioning drills. There should a test for these guys when they arrive. If you don't pass out after 10 mins of straight cardio you may enter. I don't want to see guys tire after the first minute of the fight, especially ex-football players. They should have done a boot camp or something beforehand.

On another note, I am so happy that Rampage is quitting. I'm sure that this temporary so all you whiner fans need to "build a bridge and get over it, as Hannah Montana would say. Rampage needs to learn that he can't blame everything on Dana or anyone else and act like he did nothing wrong. The real world doesn't work like that. Stop acting like the victim. You make it seem as if Dana is the Shug Knight of the UFC and he held you over a hotel balcony like you were Vanilla Ice and made you do this or that. Anyways, could you at least send K-lovely an email or tweet telling her when you'll be back in the UFC. I'm tired of hearing her say that she's in mourning. She’s already cried me 2 big ass rivers.


Well another win for Team Rashad. Rashad was looking good as ever. Can't wait for next week, but until then send me a tweet so we can chat it up.

Team Rashad Week 1

The premiere of TUF 10s first episode has strengthened my love for Rashad and heightened my distaste for Rampage. From the beginning of the episode to the previews of the upcoming episodes, I was hoping that Rashad would knock out Rampage. Rashad seemed calm about the situation. He was able to handle whatever Rampage was dishing.

Rampage on the other hand can’t handle someone calling him out on his own shit. Rampage’s the guy who will make fun of people to divert attention away from his own flaws. Like mentioning and joking about Rashad’s loss (first loss) to Machida, as if he himself has not lost a fight. He probably couldn’t wait to bring it up, which he did multiple times. I cannot wait for Rashad to put him in his place and that’s on the ground knocked out.

Team pickins’
1st, size does not matter Rampage (in this case at least). You can’t underestimate the smaller guys, especially when they have more skill and tend to be faster. At least mix it up and balance out the team, but hey, I’m not complaining, because the picks gave Rashad a great team and increased his chances of winning. 2nd, Kimbo, really? Why Rampage was so excited to have him on his team I’ll never understand. Have him. Maybe you guys can cuddle together at night. Maybe he can join you on the A-team and act as your stunt double. Kimbo’s the least of my concerns. I’ll have to see how he is locked in a house with a bunch of immature guys.

Can’t really say too much about the other guys right now, except I have a feeling that Wes Sims will get on my nerves, and that Marcus Jones needs to work on his cardio.

Elimination Fight #1 Abe Wagner v Jon Madsen
The assistant coaches for Rampage must be afraid of Rampage, because the 1st fight was not a matchup in favor of his team. They should have spoke up and told him “no.”

I thought Abe was cute until he puked. He reminds me of someone, but I’ll have to think of who later. Poor thing didn’t have any ground game, and just laid there taking a beating from Jon. He should have did what Tim Sylvia did when he fought Jeff Monson, and utilized his long legs to keep Jon closer to his waist, so he would have less blows to the face. That was a nasty gash, but at least he has war wound to show off at his day job.

Next episode should be great. I hate having to wait a whole week, but at least there’s UFC 103 to watch. Don’t forget to watch the prelims free on Spike TV. Hopefully, they keep showing these, because I never get to see the hotties at the bottom of the fight cards. I should send Dana my preferred fight card list. Who must be shown and who never needs to be show. Matt Serra would always be on the latter.

Time to hit Diego's streets. So send me a tweet @ http://twitter.com/TDubb_woMMAn.

Let The Battle Begin!!

Finally, a new season of The Ultimate Fighter is starting tomorrow. We are so excited to see the new crop of guys (except Kimbo…boooo!!!), who will be parading around shirtless and working up a sweat. Stretching and pulling, grunting and moaning. Oh yeah baby!! Of course we watch the show for the fights, but come on, we are woMMAn. Men are our specialty (and obsession). We hope that Dana will not let us down. We want to see highly competitive men, and less wimps and puss boys who want to go home to their mama (such a turnoff).

The anticipation of season 10 is extremely high here, and has already caused a rift within woMMAn. Why you ask? Three words for ya, Rashad and Rampage. Normally, we root for the same coach. This season, however, has created a clear division of worship between T-Dubb and K-Lovely. For the first time we will not only be blogging our thoughts about the episodes, but we will be in opposite corners. Team Rashad will have T-Dubb in their corner, and Team Rampage will have K-Lovely in their corner. We can’t wait to see who will ‘reign supreme’ in the end. Things may get heated up here in Diego, so be on the lookout for new blogs weekly.

Let the shit talking begin.
