@Russ, good to see you back.  Only the men who made the finals got a fight, mainly because Anthony Guitierrez and Cody Bollinger both missed weight during the show and got booted off.

@Oldmangloom and Frenso, Cheers guys. I haven't heard many good things about this season tbh so not got high hopes for tonight :P Really hope Gray vs Nate is worth the wait.

edit: Has spartacus made a re-appearance to the site?

Dober is getting messed up and his face looks like spaghetti sauce.  That's my pick.

Damn.  I thought for sure Dober was going to be able to get that **** to the ground.  Awesome performance by Spencer though.

@Russ, he pops in every now and again to throw in his two cents and collect some downers.  Then he's back off to make his money.

Nothing but respect for dober. He took everything spencer threw at him and survived. Cant believe this kid lost his fight to get into the TUF house. But to be fair it was a 1 round fight, which kinda means ****.

@Gloom Good to hear man, it wouldnt be tapology without his inane ********. Is he pro yet? Also after watching the GSP vs Hendricks fight please tell me the Tapology reaction was as glorious and fulfilling as I imagined it to be.

edit: I can only imagine the permanent state of arousal anik and p4p were in.

@Gregory I appreciate that Greg.

Isn't that cute, Tapology's watched me grow up from a bratty 16 year old with dumb**** insults to an 18 year old God who makes grown men cry on a regular basis.

Fun fact, Walter Harris tapped to strike against Lorenz Larkin while they were amateurs.
