I didnt really see it as showboating, i took it as him tryin to lure or entice Kelvin to throw more punches n get him away from the takedown attempts. Uriah had a much stronger chance of winning if was a stand up war, and he could then counter off Kelvin. Kelvin to his credit, stayed on his game plan, didnt fall for the hands down trick or follow me to the cage and try to slug me tricks n stayed consistent applying the pressure and going for the takedowns.
Honestly, watch that hall vs weidman fight, and then watch the kelvin vs hall fight n ish was almost identical, When Kelvin was pressure and throwin da big hooks and consistently going forward, Hall was still doin the stupid backing up str8 backwards wit his hands down and his chin str8 up askin to get hit. weidman connected, Kelvin jus missed a few times wit it.
but when u compete at that level, no matter what success or failures you have, u can't be sayin a guy needs to be babied or ne thing. These are serious dudes doin things half of us dream of.

Physically or appearance wise? and tbf if u look at when he started its kind of surprising hes as young as he is
ps el nino sounds like such a homo when he speaks, I hope bendo destroys him and makes these idiots that have been saying "well if he was in the ufc he would beat da da da" look stupid

I dont think im going overboard no. These guys are trying to really hurt one another in the ring so i think instigating feuds is demonic on his part, unless of course this is all scripted like WWF.
Not trying to be rude but I don't understand how you cannot see it as showboating but his corner men who have known and trained him for a minute recognized it as showboating and told him to stop?

who says his corner men know him best? obviously, Sonnen was a better coach on TUF than his training team, as Sonnen clearly got the best out of him, while his cornermen did exactly what he doesnt like and respond to which is yelling at him.
Think of it, Hall clearly said, I dont respond to trainers, corner men screaming and yelling at him, so his corner men did that exact same thing? Sd he responds to the softer approach being talked to, like Sonnen, his team didn't do that.
He needs to run away from that training group, they've done all they can for him, good job for teachin his the basics, time to let an expert take em to the next level. Go call Jacksons, Tristar, AKA, ATT, almost any team, but mk sure you avoid Blackzillions Mr. Hall

first of all not every fighter is trying to "really" hurt his opponent hell a lot of fighters aren't even physically capable. And u just have to see what happened to cerrone to know that "instigating" could be equally as detrimental to the fighter. Every fighter worth their salt knows not to fight on emotion anyways so if u need to receive some trash talking to make u magically punch harder u have no business fighting at all.

Yea yea, dont defend this demonic journalism friend. They already have a tough job. No one needs this trash.

u must have a selective memory then because in both instances if he wasn't wearing a scheming grin he'd say something complimentary while he "answered the question" He did non of that on saturday. Dude seemed mad tense and wanted to deaden the conversation before it got started. And with fallon moving down to 135 who exactly do you think she's after? Zuffa got ronda away from 145 cuz they saw $ to made and the didn't want cyborg (who let's face it isn't exactly soft on the eye) to play spoiler. By signing fallon they would be contradicting themselves. But u keep believing ufc are going to poo poo their product/name/brand and cashcow to sign a man that will only bring in his minority community not ppv buyshe had the same reaction when asked years ago if women will ever fight in the UFC and if he would let Kimbo in the UFC .....he eventually did both
Shannon Knapp isn't opposed to the idea, if Invicta sign her, he will watch and see the hype. The LGBT community is strong and are very supportive of their own ( not sure what happened with Liz Carmouche) maybe not now but if the UFC can have gay fighter fight and try out, why not a transgender?
Yeah, people love to hype up guys who aren't in the UFC. For years people were going around calling Gil the #1 LW even though he never fought anyone in the top 5Physically or appearance wise? and tbf if u look at when he started its kind of surprising hes as young as he is
ps el nino sounds like such a homo when he speaks, I hope bendo destroys him and makes these idiots that have been saying "well if he was in the ufc he would beat da da da" look stupid
He basically made his name off two wins over Josh Thomson, and a bunch of unproven Japanese fighters.
According to the UG, regarding TUF tryouts
Surprised Shayna didn't get signed to the UFC. Kim really sucks however she is really good friends with CyGOAT
Andre Berto's sister Revelina is trying out..l tought she fights at 145/150?
Some of the other girls trying out are really small and fight below 135

I always like the TUF's where u can recognize the fighters more lol at some of the names tho, larosa? thought she didnt fight at 135.And I like kim's determination and can do attitude but she needs a therapist to remind her shes worth something
is that suppose to improve her chances of getting signed?
if not why mention it? 
Thats okay, if they dont make it they can always move to their natural weight and sign with invicta..Some of the other girls trying out are really small and fight below 135

Meh stranger things have happened...I don't think she went through though.
I think had Josh signed with the UFC, Shaya would have been in like Flynn and wouldn't need to try out for TUF
