Comments
Thanks
hehe... cody mckenzie has finished his last EIGHT fights with a guiillotine!!!
That's incredible, I had to look it up on Sherdog myself to believe it.
i did to and wow haha thats is absolutely amazing lol
it's actually NINE. (http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Cody-McKenzie-22173) the other two is a triangle choke and a TKO. dang this guy has a future
......... GSP is a coach and there no canadians they should of done usa vs canada or they need 2 do a brazil vs some were lol
Yeah i agree at least put a couple in there
With GSP on there they didnt need to specifically add any Canadian content, some prospects on the show wouldnt have drawn any more Canadians than GSP will - and Im guessing this show will set ratings highs for TUF seasons in Canada just because of GSP.
AKA produces some of the best, my bets on joe ambrose
ya I was just going to say the same thing, training with fighters like Fitch, Kos and Cain would me so usefull and especially if he gets selected by Kos then he can train with his team member and the normal coaches he has back in AKA
George should pick that guy just to spite Kos.
I don't know why but this is probably the most excited Ive been for a TUF season. I think Koscheck is gonna be great to watch and hopefully do as much trouble as he did the last time he was on the show.
Koscheck will make the season worth watching. Imagine for a second having GSP vs " put name here" doing this season. The show would be a snoozefest, in as far as coach rivalry goes.
It's going to be a hell of a fight between these two as well.
Its actually nine in a row by guillotine for McKenzie. All first round too lol....
yeah, thats actually right! I knew he had one tko and one triangle choke win on his record as well, and it says he is 10-0 here so i figured it was eight in a row, but i checked sherdog, and he is actually 11-0, so you are right!
It's gonna be nice! can't wait to see!
