I know he was on the original cast. Where is he now? I haven't seen him or heard his name on TUF 10. Did Dana secretly give him the boot?

And what the hell is wrong with Rampage? He left his guy alone after the loss. That's just wrong.

i didnt think anyone could surpass how bad a coach Ken Shamrock was, but rampage has set a new low

i'm beginning to think he might lose all 8 fights

If it wasnt for the fact that im a fan of a few of the guys on his team i'd actually hope for him to lose all 8. I hated Rashad before this season and now he's actually made me a fan and i cant stand Page anymore. Rashad stepped up and talked to Pages guy after the fight while Rampage just sulked at ringside and that made me respect Rashad big time. If they ever fight, I hope Rashad knocks Rampages head off

I wouldnt go so far as to say Im a Evans fan. However he did gain some respect when he did what he did after the fight. Rampage should have been the one to console his fighter.

I think Team Rashad might just win all 8 fights.
Unless the Kimbo clause plays a part and, he ends up fighting again on the show.

We gotta remember, it's a "reality" TV show and most of it is more or less staged. We don't really know what happened, we just see what the producers decide to air. It could be rearranged, chopped, screwed, whatever you want to call it. That's usually how people who take part in reality shows say it goes down.

But back to the original topic, anyone got a video of Wes Sims getting rocked?

true we can only go by what footage the episodes do show. With that in mind, going by what I've seen

Rashad has come across as the more knowlegable and prepared of the 2 coaches.

I got a whole lot of new found respect for Rashad after watching the end of this video..

Its ironic because I always Rashad as an ahole but when I watched this episode last Wednesday it proved my assumption completely wrong.

I never thought Rashad was an *******. I always liked him and he gets the most unjustified hate in MMA.

Exactly, he is serious and a professional. And a damn good fighter !

I don't understand why many ppl hate him ... I also like him for taking Rampage out of the game :boxing:

I thought for sure Team Rampage was going to
get their first win. Sims really was over confident.


Also, either Rampage has top notch control of him self or he's afraid of Evans.
All that smack talk Evans did, if that was me I would not be able
to control my self.

Tune in next week to see Rampage back down from a rank fighter.
Jail, or no jail, show or no show, a man is gonna be a man when put in
those types of situations.

Whats up Rampage??????


btw; I still don't like Evans. I have a itty bit of respect, but that's all.

I know Sims said the same thing regarding taking his opponent lightly

however he got taken down so early into the fight .... what else could he really have done?

it would surprise me if the total fight time was over a minute.

It didn't surprise me considering Wes comes from Hammer House. Those guys get tapped more than a cheap hooker. Not to mention that as a fighter. . . Wes Sims sucks ass.

Give a little credit where credit is due. Sims did not tap, he went to sleep.
Funny in a way, like Kimbo, he seemingly didn't attempt to move. "I need a nap" Goodnight Wes.

Tap, went to sleep, point is he lost, to me there is no difference and no credit, however little, to be given. At this stage of his career with almost 40 fights under his belt he should've learned how to defend a basic submission like a an arm-triangle by now, but he just gets worse and worse every time he fights.

To me there's a big difference from tapping and getting put out. Wes is known to not tap. He's got closer to 32 fights, not 40. The guy went from homeless living under a bridge, to being on the show.

Yes you would think he could defend a arm triangle, especially against that pug he fought. Who knows why he didn't. Next.......

Wes Sims is an ass fighter. He thinks not tapping will make him look badass, but it's not like it's life or death. Tap the guy on the arm and admit that you lost instead of going out like a sore loser.

He actually has 37 fights under his belt. He's a bullheaded guy and like Bricks mentioned he thinks tapping is a far more honourable way to go out and that people must respect him for it. I say he's an idiot in the first place for letting a guy with little experience catch him in something so basic and then not being able or even attempting to defend it. Tapping doesn't mean you went out like a *****. What's he gonna say "He caught me but I didn't tap cuz I ain't a *****". Yeah, but you got put to sleep on TV and in doing so look like a talentless fool that talks a big game but can't back it up. His living arrangements prior to entering the house mean nothing with regards to his fighting ability. I'm not interested in his story, it's not why I watch MMA.

yeah, i knew he was doomed when kimbo started talking about him. wes's skills definitely haven't evolved in the last 6 years
