Which is better the Ultimate Fighter or The Contender

[I-WISH-A-MF-WOULD]

Watched both shows & far & away the Ultimate Fighter is better. The Contender is borderline corny. All that dialogue & I never seen so many pretty boys fighting in my life. They look like they have makeup on. Plus there way to much crying. Love the fight game either way.

Crying or hugging. What a choice...

The way UF is setup it is better cuz they show the entire fights. The Contender only shows highlights and have sound effects when a punch clearly lands. That's what makes it corny in my opinion. They should just show the whole fight.

One thing I like better about the Ultimate Fighter is that there is more trash talk shown and more training shown. The Contender adds a lot more drama to it by showing the families.

Showing the whole fight would take almost half the show though, thats the problem.

The thing I like about the Contender is that its BOXING.
The contender is better, simply because its a well put together show that has boxing in it, which is better than Ultimate Fighting.

I don't see how that's a problem. It was decrease the boring family stuff.

The idea of the contender is good, but it's awful to watch when you see the edited rounds with sound effects.

As boxing fans we have NO IDEA who won a fight if it's a decision on that show because we didn't see the majority of it.

Ultimate Fighter is a much better show out of the two. The Contender is suppose to look like a damn rocky movie with everyone always talking about issues, except boxing. Plus they bring in the families and they talk for like 10 minutes. It be okay if they were out in the stands cheering em on, but just talking and talking. I'm okay with the highlights, as long as there is a few snooze matches. It be boring to watch a boxing match that has no action once so ever. They need to cut the sound effects of every single punch sounding like a haymaker though.

I like the trash talking in the Ultimate Fighter and the un-edited fights. I wish we could watch the Contender without the editing and view it like a real fight. No music, no replays of the same punch from 3 different camera angles and so on. The Contender music rocks though!

Also I dont like how they show the crowds reaction to punches. I know it's reality T.V. but I'd rather view it like I'm watching a fight on TV.

I have to agree. In the fights they made it look so dramatic with every boxer's family shouting and yelling, but they don't have to cut to them every single damn scene. It's just a peeve of mine, but I dislike it when the girl's of some boxers would go up to the corner during the break and try to give the boxer's some support or info. That's why they have a cornerman talking to em.
