Well as I posted yesterday, I wanted to share two participants of the forum to be the coaches of TUF.

And two have already applied and they will be the coaches this season.

Astyn will coach the red corner and taylor22 will coach the blue corner.

In February I will announce the division,fighters and the coaches of the season.

Round 1

There's the opening bell! Kim just slips out of the way of a flurry of strikes, having been off balance after falling for a feint. Kim throws a right jab but Story avoids it. Kim counters a right jab by using a nice right hand. A couple of quick punches are used to set up a takedown attempt from Story. He has the takedown! Kim pulls guard.

Story starts trying to work to get past the guard. Story isn't able to pass guard on this attempt. Using his leg strength to push Story back a bit, Kim looks to scramble for position. The scramble ends with both fighters standing, facing each other. Round one is brought to an end as time runs out. An extremely close round, could have gone either way, but personally I'll give it to Story 10-9.

Round 2

There's the bell and round number two begins! Story gets suckered in by a feint, and is fortunate to avoid the barrage of big left hands that follow it. Story slips past a right jab and fires back with a stinging right jab. Story grabs a body kick and goes for the takedown, and gets it! Kim has to pull guard. Story lies on top of Kim, basically smothering him. The clock runs down as Kim is being smothered against the ground by Story. Story attempts to pass guard and gain a better position.

Kim lets go of side control and stands up, then backs off, wanting the fight standing. Story gets suckered in by a feint, and is lucky to avoid the combination that follows. The time is up, and that's the end of round two. That has to go down as a 10-9 round to Story.

Round 3

And here we go, round three! Both fighters fire off strikes, but neither does any significant damage. Kim slips past a right jab and fires back with a solid right jab.

Kim begins trying to get his leg free of half guard and get a better position. Story comfortably blocks the attempt and keeps Kim in half guard. Story tries to ensnare Kim in a guillotine. Kim gets caught in a guillotine, but is not tapping! It looks like the choke is not perfectly applied, and that is allowing Kim to breathe. Story eventually lets go, but may have gassed his arms by trying to squeeze out the submission. Kim stands up out of guard and backs off, wanting the fight to continue standing. Story steps back to avoid a one-two combination. Kim looks to move in and stand in the pocket. Story seems happy to engage with Kim in the pocket. The fight comes to an end as the time limit expires. That was a close round, but I'm giving it to Kim, 10-9.

The winner, by unanimous decision, is Rick Story!

The winner, by TKO; Kazuo Misaki!

Round 1

There's the opening bell! Hunt counters an errant left jab with a flurry of quick punches to sting Pudzianowski.

Pudzianowski smothers Hunt against the cage, then uses his dirty boxing skills to his advantage. With Hunt stuck against the cage, Pudzianowski gets the underhooks and looks for a takedown. The underhooks are used to set up a trip, Hunt is left on his back and has to pull guard. Pudzianowski looks to get past the guard. He passes, but only to half guard.

It's a bad choice though, as Pudzianowski seizes the opportunity to leap forward and secure side control. Breathing very hard, Mark Hunt is looking ragged. Breathing very hard, Mariusz Pudzianowski is looking ragged. Pudzianowski tries to ensnare Hunt in an armbar. An armbar is applied, Hunt is trapped! Pudzianowski loses the hold! Somehow Hunt got his arm free. That was incredibly close to a finish though. Time expires and we come to the end of round one. That was a quality round and the fans are really getting into this. I think Pudzianowski took that round, 10-9 on my score card.

Pudzianowski avoids a flurry of rights and lefts. Mark Hunt looks like he doesn't have a lot left to give. Pudzianowski slips out of the way of a flurry of punches.

A couple of ragged punches are used to set up a takedown attempt from a visibly tired Pudzianowski. Hunt attempts to avoid Pudzianowski as he shoots in. Pudzianowski can't get the takedown, Hunt was too quick to back away. Pudzianowski catches an attempted body kick and goes for a takedown, getting it! Hunt manages to pull guard. Pudzianowski looks to pass guard and get side control. Hunt finds his opponent too skilled, and Pudzianowski passes guard into side control. From the looks of things, I don't think Mariusz Pudzianowski has much energy left. Time expires and we come to the end of round two. I have to give that round to Pudzianowski, but only a 10-9.

Round 3

His corner are pumping him up with encouragement, and Hunt looks ready to come out and go for broke. We are back underway! Between rounds, his corner told Pudzianowski to watch for strikes but to be aware of takedown opportunities. Pudzianowski avoids a right kick to the body and hits a crisp jab. A jab misses, allowing Hunt to counter-strike with a massive right hand, knocking Pudzianowski down to the ground...he is out cold!

The winner, by Knock Out; Mark Hunt!

The referee pulls Jones away before any more shots are thrown, as Magalhaes is out cold!

Jon 'Bones' Jones takes the win by Knock Out!

Main Event

Heavyweight Bout: Alistair Overeem vs. Frank Mir

Round 1

The fight begins! Mir uses a feint to get Overeem off balance, but the nice sequence of punches that follow don't find their mark.
