The Ultimate Fighter

I felt like Hall just gave away the first round. I couldn't understand his strategy. He hardly even through a punch in the first 3 1/2 minutes. He just sat there with his hands down daring Kelvin to try and hit him.

I think he could definitely benefit from being in a better camp with better trainers.

I suppose it could've been strategy, but shouldn't every strategy include at least some offense as well? Uriah Hall's offense was almost completely non-existent!

Even his ground game was pretty weak. I just can't help but think this is what a "thrown" MMA fight looks like? There's absolutely no question that Uriah Hall is a much better fighter then we saw the other night. As sloppy as this fight was, I find it hard to believe that Kelvin's offense completely neutralized Uriah's fight.

I'd bet the farm Uriah's already got an MMA contract in his back pocket! I guess we'll see. I love this sport. My wife hates it.

From the things I've read, Hall is a bit of a head case. He psychs himself out. I think he came in ready but his game plan went out the window when Kelvin fought back tough. Hall started to come around in round 3 but it was too late. Hall needs to hook up with a top level team. He has the tools but needs more BJJ/TDD and get his head straight. Kelvin looked good but raw still. What do you expect from a 21 year old. He's from Yuma and he's got great gyms in Phoenix and San Diego to pick from.

I don't buy the set up deal....maybe he had a medical problem, or a head problem like you said. Bigger, more in the know MMA guys, closer to the source, Dana White being one of them, knows how important good fights are to keep the integrity of the brand going....if the fix was in, I believe he would have done something, said something, reacted in some way? Hall just fought a [PoorWordUsage] fight, it happens even to the best of them at times.

[CANOPY SAM]

I don't disagree on either account. But I'd still be willing to wager that Uriah has a little guarantee on his side.

but needs more BJJ/TDD

Also IMO just needs to enact a game plan with a few TDs himself! The best TDD is having the other guy on his back already.

Not hitting any TDs will always be a hole in the game of your Condits, Uriahs etc. One TD could have changed the fight's score in favor of Mr. Hall.

If you don't win, there are no guarantees!

Hall suplexed Gastelman in, I think, the 3rd round. Too little too late.
