The commercial for the show during UFC 95 confirmed it was called The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom instead of The Ultimate Fighter: U.S.A. vs. U.K. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.74.75 ( talk • contribs)
I would like to remind everyone that Wikipedia is a source of facts that are cited in the article. Therefore, avoid placing rumors in the article. Also tournament brackets are premature until after the semi-final rounds and should not be added to the article until that time. If rumors, unsourced information, or tournament brackets are added to the article, expect for those edits to be reverted. -- TreyGeek ( talk) 04:37, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I have a real issue with this article claiming that the winner between the two coaches for season 9 will face Anderson Silva. He's already crushed Rich Franklin twice, and defeated Henderson convincingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.118.16 ( talk) 04:47, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I discovered this morning that there are two TUF: US vs UK articles on Wikipedia. I have place merge tags on both articles and suggest they be merged into this article. My reasoning for this article is that the article title contains the correct abbreviation "vs." as opposed to the incorrect "vs".
A couple issues on the article to be merged here:
I welcome any other comments or suggestions. In the meantime I will try to take some of the valuable information there and put it here. If there is no response in a day or two I will request the other page be deleted. -- TreyGeek ( talk) 16:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm interested in other people's feedback on the issue of Anthony Johnson's finale match. His original match against John Howard was canceled, I think we all agree on that. Now there are reports that Johnson will fight Tamdan McCrory. The reports cite an interview by Johnson in which says his agents haven't told him who he will fight next. However, he has heard that it will be McCrory, but "nothing has been signed." To me, this sounds very indefinite and shouldn't be placed in the finale card. Is that just me or do people believe that it really should be included? -- TreyGeek ( talk) 19:33, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
There appears to be a disagreement among a couple of us in regards to the Dollar/Hayden match. When the match was over, Steve Mazagati(sp?) announced the results as a "referee stoppage." For all of these elimination matches, the referee (or Dana White in the event it goes to the judges scorecard) announces the result of the match (TKO, tapout, etc). In this case it was announced as a "referee stoppage." I believe this is what should be reflected in the article.
It may also be possible to list it both ways, but am unsure how to word that. -- TreyGeek ( talk) 18:07, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
"A technical submission occurs when the referee or doctor must stop a fight due to an obvious injury to the figher or lack of consciousness of the fighter." from
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_technical_submission
Even with a brutal KO, Buffer often say that "The ref put a stop to the contest".
There's 6 ways to win : Decision, KO, TKO, Submission, technical submission, DQ. Ref stoppage is not precise enough. I'll let you change it to technical submission

I've reworded the sentence in regards to the Dollar/Hayden match. It's done such that the reader can decide for themselves whether it is a TKO, a "referee stoppage," a technical submission, or whatever. I'm not completely sure I like the wording (and just decided on a possibly better wording, sorry for the re-edit), but it potentially resolves conflicts over the end result of the match (which in the long run, probably doesn't matter much). -- TreyGeek ( talk) 20:00, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
According to UFC official episode recap (
http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=19167)
"The third lightweight to earn his way into the house for Team US was Cameron Dollar, who survived some ferocious ground and pound from Tommy Hayden before submitting his foe with a rear naked choke in the second stanza."
Also, the match between Herman and Maia at UFC 83 ended when the referee stopped the contest when Herman was out in a triangle choke (he did not tap). Maia won by submission. To be more precise, Sherdog (which i consider as a major reference in MMA) states that this match ended in a technical submission. If we say right ahead that the match ended in a technical submission, the 2nd sentence become so obvious that there's no need for it. So using "technical submisson" eliminate all ambiguities.

What is that going to be called? 68.188.29.77 ( talk) 02:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
And why does his page redirect here? Hexrei2 ( talk) 08:12, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
I would have to disagree with Dean Amasinger's page merger with this page, he is highly regarded in this country, having fought for all the major promotions here, as well as professionally taking top named, notable fighters. He has even been on all the posters of fight events that he was part of, including BAMMA 8. How do I go about to unmerging his page with this one?
