TUF 31 McGregor vs Chandler Episode 1 WAS TERRIBLE AND BORING! Just Adverts? Crying Back Stories? 

Whilst uploading this I watched the "after TUF bonus footage" stream they put out, literally all of the bonus footage they didn't show until after was better than the footage that was actually in the episode. They showed more awkward McGregor Chandler moments and showed McGregor having some cool moments. But all we got on the show, was fighters crying, adverts, boring back stories and a 10 second fight.

Guru became very upset at seeing fighters with loving families, reminding him that he resides in a massive mansion, flanked on all sides with empty dominos boxes and pee bottles, alone

Crying about being away from your family for a few days is crazy 💀

Dude really brought on his kids for longer than his own fight 💀💀

“My Guinea pig getting raped by a fox” 😂😂😂

I felt bad for Jarrod Gordan. First, gets robbed against Paddy. Then for some reason is on TUF getting knocked out by some nobody in 10 seconds. Conor didn't even show up for the weigh in. I'd cry too. Wife probably getting her cheeks clapped.

I’ve had limited training but I always find it crazy that someone can be a ‘pro’ for years and never learn basic stand up.

Everyone now days is so aware of the camera. Even when they're talking amongst themselves, you can tell they're thinking of the best thing to monologue for the camera to pick up. No real conversations between the cast, everyone is just waiting for their turn to talk for the cam. These hometown documentary parts take up half the show as well. It's depressing. WHY?? Why do they not go back to the fly-on-the-wall approach and let us see what happens in the fishtank house? Seeing the ups and downs of being cooped up was fun. Seeing the dynamics change was fun. Seeing people going from being friendly, to annoyed and paranoid of each other made the first seasons entertaining. I just got done watching the Bisping season for the first time. Those guys could eat up 20 min just sitting around on a couch bantering. It was at least interesting and you got a feeling of each personality by seeing them interact. Compare that with modern TUF. Every time the fighters of Modern Day TUF sit around a couch or dinner table, they each just turn for the camera and go around taking turns saying A.) what they're sad about, or B) Corny fake inspirational crap... Everyone is like a politician advertising their "brand", talking to the camera instead of each other. Either talking about their kids and how much they love them (when in reality you know they don't spend any waking moment with the kid lol), or how this is the end of the road for them, their last shot before they decide to end it once and for all. SAD!

That little mcgregor impression was pretty solid bro 😂

Seeing 4 ESPN ads in a row while being on the ESPN app is so redundant. It was like 50% showtime 50% commercials, god awful

I'll never understand, am I the only one who thinks that Conor's face looks five times the size that it used to and that he doesn't even look like the same guy? It's just crazy that you say that when he's completely clothed and you only see his face you can notice it. I noticed that every time I look at him and he looks like a completely different person juiced out of his mind.

Guru: I'll try episode 2 Members: you'll do what you're told

The disgusting amount of ads is what got me

Your absolutely right man, everyone is a victim nowadays especially when there is a camera in front of them. They should be embarrassed with themselves.

I bet Reddit loves the crying part. How brave.

Every fighter just all of a sudden has a alcoholic father and their brother died or their cousin was in a Hamster gone rogue incident it’s so embarrassing

I miss the seasons where the first eoisode was we got to watch all the fighters FIGHT for a spot at the TUF

Loved that Conor literally missed the first weigh in. It’s already been hinted at that Chandlers team dominates..shocking lol

The amount of ads might have been the worst thing for me it was so bad

This was so funny 😂😂😂 Especially the fighter crying about his dog with 3 legs 😂😂😂😂

I miss the Julian Lane, Josh Koscheck, and Andy Wang era of TUF.

Y’all catch Conor keep wiping coke snot from his nose all show ☠️☠️☠️

Soy fighters talking about their familys and coming form a bad up bringing is such a over played line for TV

Guru has told them this before, you’d thought they would listen! Watching that dude cry like 5 times in the episode was absolutely cringe.

Soon as I saw dude shed a tear holding that picture, I knew he was getting rinsed

These episodes need to be half an hour long. We don't care about the back story of these guys... just show training, interaction with the coaches and the chaos in the house and the fights.... no need to drag it out an hour

Guru and other UFC fans are not the intended audience though. You need to analyse these TUF episodes from the eyes of people that never watched a fight before.

Guru's McGregor impression is the all time best. "You'll do what you're told, yea?"

I feel like the only reason there were so many ADs because the fight was 10 seconds long!

Pretty sure they also showed Mando Guitierrez getting KO'd too lmao

Bro that was hilarious, I felt bad for him but man, his whole talk about "that head movement" while the footage of him being an absolute duck at the pads

Is it me or was it always gonna be set up as Chandler with the vets and Mcgregor with prospects? Chandler had the opportunity to have vets and prospects but he chose the vets when it came time. I feel like it would’ve been cooler with a mix on both teams, idk why they had to choose

10:35 me hamster had a heart attack 😂. Guru always brings it haha

So happy Ian Garry is getting his recognition on TUF. Well deserved 🇮🇪🍀

Isn’t this the guy that said on stream he wouldn’t review each episode

"Let me bang bro!" that's the type of entertainment I need from TUF.

I was stoked to see Jason "Hick Diaz" Knight and Roosevelt Roberts again! Can't believe Hunter Azure on there too. Some OGs

The main part of this show use to be the fights and the antics in the house…🤷‍♂️😆 now we get sob stories…🤷‍♂️🤦‍♀️

I don’t think the Roosevelt calling out someone else scene was necessarily from episode 2. That whole teaser at the end was for the whole season, not the next episode

I don't have a problem with the fighters talking about being away from their families. Just because Guru is self-conscious about living with his mum it doesn't mean the TUF guys have to be.

All the best American prospects are now going to contender series, TUF just seems useless now because getting into the UFC through DWCS is just much easier, they focus on storyline more than actual prospects, hence the young vs old, the boring family moments, it’s just for tv atp

It’s wild to see these dudes crying being away from their families being a soldier in the US military lol

Okay Porky, I say your ass join TUF when Chris Barnett coaches show them, how it’s done.

The Ultimate Fat. There's some bass banging noise in some of this video, a High Pass Filter on your voice would fix it, around 80Hz should do it. Or just release the female imprisoned in a box in the corner.

The Conor impression 😂

I enjoyed it

God I miss the old days on Spike TV.

Thank's for the update, GURU! Here's some things you left out, that i have questions about... 1. What color was Conor's three-piece Suite? 👔 2. How expensive were his shoes? 3. How big was his FOOKIN' watch??? ⌚ 4. How many FOOKIN' watches did he wear at once??? ⌚⌚ 5. When's the new Proper-12 coming out? 6. (Last, but not least) How expensive were Conor's FOOKIN' WATCHES???? ⌚🤌$$$ Thanks again, GURU! See ya' soon! Toodles-pep 🇬🇧✌️

I don’t think I’ve ever seen guru not bitching about something

Sounds boring. Good thing I stopped watching after the 2nd ad break😂

Free War Machine and make his return to TUF 💯

yep , after 30 minutes in we essentially got 20 straight minutes of commercials then a 5 second fight, the fight was terrible and the first episode was boring.

Coked up Conor the villain, Dana just milking ad revenue at this point 💀

lmao I thought you made up the 3 legged dog thing. I just watched the episode back and lost it 😭😭😭😭😭😭

It's actually a good opportunity for the contestants to just start talking trash to whatever, because ppl are gonna be tuning in for Mcgregory. And if they garner enough eyes, they'll get signed in the UFC whether they win or lose 😂😂😂

Disney TUF

I have to agree with you. There was a lot of crying, but I think that has more to do with the newer generation just grew up a lot softer.

Soon as I saw roberts steal his soul in the stare down I knew he was getting slept. Wish I could of bet on it 😂

A bit harsh guru. Agree with your spoilers point and the ads. But ultimately it was a stock standard tuf episode. There was minor excitement with the team selection/format, otherwise not too much else. One of the reasons I like tuf is getting to know fighters and their background, it seems like you don’t really care about that which would make the content boring. Think of just seeing a fighter in a cage vs knowing all the struggles they have been through and maybe connecting with that if you can relate. E.g. Chito Vera’s daughter needing surgery

Episode 2 should have a surprise visit from USADA...

Guru wanted to rip those 3 legs of the dog and break the dog's spine so he can eat it.

Bro, the vets have Timur Valiev, Hunter Azure, Austin Hubbard, Roosevelt Roberts, and Jason Knight! Not a chance chandler loses this competition with that squad.

the “prospect” is 30 years old and has more fights than Roberts. They should just call it UFC rejects vs whoever we could find to agree to this

All reality shows are like this with crying about their family

Critical to the bone, giving it a good hard wash down loved the gurus take on things man , Hallarious!!! I think the producers of this show need to take notes

Its not as bad if you watch it without commercials

You’re a king bro saying it straight. Feels like they sold out the show abit for cash over entertainment. Dana will definitely watch this to gage fans reactions of the premiere

Alot of people these days think victim hood is a badge of honor and its absolutely not, it's actually a form of mental illness

That was embarrassing for that bloke, now he gets to chill with rosi for 12 weeks and act like he dosnt want to stab his eye ball

Wtf is it with fighters literally crying for attention.😭 soppyness is the new American meta. I’m burning my passport if we go that way here……

I heard Conor will weigh 185 and Chanler 155 if not the fight is off

The first episode of the ultimate fighter used to be awesome. Even the first two episodes I believe were all fights and that used to be awesome because it was like a free mid week card with people we didn’t recognize necessarily.

These guys get to live in a mansion, train with great coaches, free food And Free exposure to build your name. Yet they cry about missing their families

Your absolutely correct the format of the show is so outdated TUF can be a really interesting show if they changed the format it gets boring and predictable That conor impersonation was spot on tho 😂

My Guinea pig (Florance) actually did escape into the garden and was violated by a Fox, this video was so triggering I had to flag it for being offensive and outside of my safe space!!

“Absolute NPCs” killed me 😂😂😂😂. Literally 2 minutes in I’m dead. All your points are very valid man

Am I trippin or did they literally spoil like 3 KOs in the show

Damn thats weird, there were 4 ad breaks here on US ESPN. I started watching about 30 mins after the premiere so I could fast forward through the commercials.

Speak for yourself Guru, I loved Ep 1 of TUF!

Wow super sad to see!... Hope it gets better it has to from that episode right? Geezus..... Man! Put pressure on them guru! Ty for your input as always....

That’s not how Americans are (at least where I’m from). That just how American tv is

when it comes to back stories and talking about family, they are asked questions by the producers...also this isnt the only footage they have... id put more blame on producers than contestants when it comes to what they talk about in their interviews and the final product (edit) viewers get to see.

My belly was hurting where i laughed so much about you taking the piss out of nect man crying about his 3 legged dog 😂😂🤣🤣

I Don't Mind The Weigh Ins But WAAAY To Much Back Story... I Dont Care

They should get mr beast to help them with this show at this point.

I really don’t like the veteran coming back thing and never have. Fighters can always improve but if you are loosing 4 fights in a row at rank 30 guys. Their absolute greatest future is to barely come in the top 15 witch In reality most likely won’t happened. I can’t believe it’s that hard for a global company that has connection with all big MMA gyms all over the world to find some real up coming talented guys I just can’t.

TUF isnt for fight fans, not really. Its a reality show targeted to a different demo that can then potentially buy PPVs. Ive said tbis before, bc it happens in every sport once their reach gets big enough - there will come a day when the UFC is not tailored to current fans. They will leverage the loyalty they have by trying things out to net a larger audience. This is why the biggest game in American football is for absolute normies, not football fans. The UFC will become PC at some point and the fighters will be wearing pink hair bands for breast cancer, etc. Its just how this goes. The diehards are going to tune in to watch fights regardless, but the UFC cant get more money from these people, theyve exhausted that group, they need more buyers, as businesses tend to set goals for new heights constantly. Enjoy it now while it lasts bc your girlfriend in 10 years is going to know the roster as well as you, and if you think that sounds cool, trust me its not. Youll look back fondly to when you got to enjoy something that was just for you and now its not special anymore.

Man I can remember when tough was on cable TV that’s when I used to watch every second of the day and even thought about trying to get back into it now but now it seems like there’s so many P walls in front of it. It’s just not worth it.

I stopped TV 15 years ago. My brain can't get any more of that circus.

Slightly out of focus guru

The fighters this season have the mental stability of a cornered rodent

This was one of the best guru thumbnails I ever seen. I literally laughed so hard i couldn't breathe

Mr guru can you provide a link I was trying to watch but couldn’t find a single one

50 mins of being bored stiff to see one dude stiff as a board.

As an American this is what has happened to every reality TV show American Idol used to be hilarious when they just made fun of people, big brother was funny when they just trashed people, now, every single reality shows about drama and sad backstory’s. I never thought this would hit MMA.

TUF needs to take a lesson from cooking competition shows. The competitors give their back story and motivation in a fast 15 seconds

I'm getting heavy porn addict reddit edge lord vibes from this one..

Mean while Guru is talking about Ads and this 18min video has had 3 ads 😂 it’s like every time he says ad it goes to one

Speaking of boring, you just spent 20 minutes rehashing the same 90 seconds worth of content 15 times. I'd imagine this is a similar feeling to how you felt watching TUF.

6:25 😂😂😂 something else
