Poor Ross. The great lookin' Brit with the thick cockney accent (so strong they had to put subtitles whenever he spoke) got his ass kicked by Kendall. So -- Team Ortiz wins two in a row. I gotta say -- I'm liking Tito a lot more now -- he's training the boys hard and it shows. Shamrock seems to be slacking. He took his guys golfing for training? This is the fucking UFC -- not golf. I hate golf.
It was a weird fight for middleweights -- they both weighed in at 185 but Ross is 5'9 and Kendall is 6'6. Ross is a good stand up fighter but has no ground skills and it showed. All Kendall had to do was get him to the ground and he caught Ross in a rear naked choke and Ross tapped. Over.
I liked Ross -- sorry to see him go.
Hey my fellow UFC fanatic, check out my post on Ed Herman ;)

Love this show. I'll miss Ross too, but I must say he looked tiny when he stood next to Kendall

The way you spit out the nomenclature of MMA a casual observer wouldn't realize that you are a little pansy mamas boy whose closest call with physical violence was when you had to (think about)telling off that birkenstock wearing dyke that cut in front of you in the sign up line for Comparative Lit class during registration week at Sarah Lawrence your freshman year.

Scott is relentless, and I love it. One of those things you can rely on.

I completely agree with you... golf?? WTF?? Shamrock is an awesome fighter but lately he seems to not even care much... I'm rooting for Tito, at least he is determined to win this but teach something at the same time...
Ross was pretty cool, a good fighter in some aspects, but I expected Kendall to win simply for the fact that Ross was so cocky.... he was bound to lose... and Kendall is all leg anyway.

Dude, i'm afraid that accent was about as far from cockney as you can get-Ross was a complete scouser (Liverpool)! Sorry to see him go too, he was a lot of fun but you're quite right; if you haven't got the grappling skills you're always going nowhere in MMA these days...
