MP,

That was my most obvious guess as well. I was actually kinda looking forward to seeing Tommy fight George with a gameplan of just plain overpowering him. George definitely didn't look super impressive in his last fight and I think it would have been an interesting matchup.

I think there's a good possibility it's someone else, just because the Tommy cut is such an obvious one.

WRT the impending injury on the next TUF episode, couldn't it also easily be Tommy's left arm?

Yes, he got out of armbar, but it looked just about fully sunk and there is a good chance that he popped something in there and was able to fight through it due to adrenaline.

Who's to say he doesn't wake up the next morning unable to bend his arm?

I hope its not Mac or George fwiw, if I had to pick I'd make it Matt since he's the least interesting of the 4 left. On the same note, I'm getting a little tired of prefight injuries so often being a factor and preventing fights altogether.

Maybe I'm just ignorant but can't these guys just tone it the [censored] down a notch in training if there's any significant chance of an injury that wouldn't allow them to fight? Its very frustrating as a fan.

Good call on Tommy's arm. I hadn't even considered that. I think J-Rock's the pretty obvious choice to replace the injured fighter, whoever it is.

good call on the arm. Ben also wrenched tommy's arm pretty badly too in that triangle


as far as getting injured in training, it happens. usually it's from innocous stuff or just being hit or moving in a slightly different way that results in injury
