Sam Alvey's TUF Blog: The Semifinals Matched
So this week's episode started with an explanation from Mr. Snake about his bite heard around the world. He came back stage after the fight and told all of us "I may be a piece of Sh!t for it but I bit him and I did it intentional, I just really didn't want to lose." We all thought it was a weird thing to do but none of us really faulted him for doing it. However, Dana did. Dana was furious that someone would stoop so low as to cheat like that on his show, but he did give Snake the chance to explain himself and Snake told him the same thing he told us. Dana was still upset but he forgave him, and all was back to being right in the world. Now fast forward a day or two an...Comments (1)

Why The Big Ten Is the Best Wrestling Conference and Will Repeat as National Champs
The Big Ten is the best conference in college wrestling. Need proof? Last year, Penn State University repeated as National champions and all but three individual champions came from the Big Ten Conference.

Sam Alvey's TUF Blog: 'I will leave everything in that Octagon or die trying'
Well this week's episode was chock-full of everything, and it all started with Dana's "coming to Jesus moment" he had with us in the house. We all hoped it was going to be with some good news... It wasn't. He came and we all ended up just about crying by the end of it. He told us all that we suck, we are terrible, and that we will likely not be fighting on the finale. I would be lying if I told you it didn't scare the hell out of me because it did. Some of the members of our house didn't take it so seriously though. Ricci just ignored it saying he was just trying to scare us and the win is all that is important. Bristol told us Dana gave the same speech a... -
Sam Alvey's TUF Blog: Judges Don't Have Slightest Idea How to Score Fights
In this weeks episode the judges proved once again that they don't have the slightest idea about how to do their job.Before I get too far into that lets recap a little bit: Neil vs Cameron was a decent fight with what almost everyone agrees was a good decision.Sam vs Joey was not really all that controversial but it was a split decision with enough people (me included) saying that a third round would have been nice. Bristol vs Julian was a fight that Bristol won but took way more damage during the course of the fight, a third round could have been used.Igor vs Nick was a controversial decision with even Dana White telling everyone that Nick deserved a third round. Eddy vs Colton was ... -

Meet Anna Dudley: The Future of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
They say there is always two sides to a coin; two sides to a story. This is generally the case for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners. Some people do it because it's fun and will tell you it's nothing but a hobby, while a select few understand that with jujitsu the possibilities are endless. One of those select few is 9 year old, Anna Dudley, who just recently started fourth grade at Quarry Hill Community School in Monson, Ma. Long before Dudley could even imagine the fourth grade she was on the mats learning BJJ from one of her heroes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt Marco Alvan.

Ronda Rousey and Cyborg Santos as TUF Coaches Would Increase Ratings and Showcase Female Fighters
UFC President Dana White is finally warming up to the idea that women have a place in his organization. White, who had previously been extremely critical over women inside the octagon, now entertains the idea ever since he laid eyes on one, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey.

Of course, before Rousey there was Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos, but Santos derailed her own train after testing positive for a banned substance. The one-time queen of the featherwei...
