Comments
Thought it was a pretty good episode and expected TJ to get through, I think he will win it.
I am unsure about him winning it. I think he seems to have what it takes but he leaves me a bit wondering. Training with urijah would certainly have him in the best training camp but he isn't Urijah. He seems respectful though and although he seems to have gotten his way he is still looking like a finalist. All the tapps he was doing in training seemed to me like camera editing and you also have to know the guys that were making him tap were going harder for a reason and he didn't know why. It would be different if he knew what they were up to I think. I hope Akira gets KO'd and I can't wait for Dodson vs Fitch 2.
He's strong but considering he was fighting a guy that was sick the whole week and had an injury...ummm he didn't do that well. I expected him to plow through him which he did but he got tagged a few time and Idk I just wasn't that impressed
Akira is still a douchebag.
