yeah it was the only one so far. but yeah, i loved it when the underdog took out the undefeated... third in the world champion.

has a true rookie and took a risk. i loved that.

boxing looks like fun. but, um, id want to box with an inexperienced girl.. not them.

Just watched a recording of it, and I have to say it was excellent!! One of the best things I have seen on tv for a long time. The biggest problem with it, that may end up being its downfall is its horrible timeslot!

Has anyone heard about the 5 millon dollar bet between The Contender and The Ultimate Fighter. I liked the show but i was not impressed with the way they edited the fights. It looked to much like a rocky movie with the slow motion and the old 80's music.

which guy?
um......I don't know his name. A young African Amercian man (who is on the show) 23 yrs old. He left behind a wife and a daughter I think....it was all over the news just last month. I think he shot himself. They didn't take him out of the show though.
