The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Season 5
I’ve been watching this season of The Ultimate Fighter, just like I’ve watched all the others before. But I’m not near as excited to watch like I was. I don’t now why really. Could I be getting burnt out on the whole UFC thing. I mean it used to be that it was only a couple times a year the we could watch the UFC, sure we had King Of The Cage and PrideFC, my personal favorite, but they were few and far between too. It was also hard to find them on PPV, not every cable provider had them. So you had to rely on buddies with video tapes or real slow internet downloads of highlights. This was back before torrents and high speed internet became so common. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that MMA is taking off and I’m glad to see fighters getting paid. Maybe it’s because I am also doing more with the local fight scene here in Des Moines and I get to be a cage-side judge for Midwest Cage Championships. Maybe it’s because season 5 is a bunch of little youngsters with crooked hats. I do like a couple of the fighters though, which have also been the ones that made it to the next round of fights. I’ll write more about later. Right now I need to help with the database upgrade on the work servers.
Happy Fathers Day!
Hello. My name is Rory. I found your website while I was attempting to search for anything mixed martial arts related in Grinnell. I was just curious if you knew of any places around here where guys train or maybe just roll and try to learn MMA.
Thanks.
During the school year the Grinnell College has an MMA Club. They get together a couple nights a week in the PEC mat room. Last few times I went it was Tuesdays and Thursdays around 8:00pm.
Oh that sucks. I go to the University of Iowa so I will be gone again this fall. That’s cool that Grinnell College has something like that though. Thanks.
