Any one with me that this has been one of the better seasons on the show for a while. Better fights! The fighters are more willing to let it all hang out this season. This past weeks episode was better than almost all the cards of the season before last. Last season outside of a few just seemed to be fighting not to lose. This season each fighters almost has been in an exciting match............And damn what a fight last week...........

Think the 5 K that is being paid to the winner helps the fighters with more inncentive?I don't know but so far it seems to be working. Keep it you guys its been great so far........My hats off to each of you's..winners and losers....

I think it is the fact that they had to fight their way on to the show this time. Right off the bat it weeded out the amatures, the posers and gave the winners an immediate boost to the heart.

Hope they keep that format.............It's the best reality TV.

yeah and its a lot better than the contender because it shows the house drama between fighters where as the contender does not.

I dig that there have been two or more fights on most of the shows.

I agree that the $5k and fighter your way into the house lends to better, more intense, competitors.

I hate the "house drama" that they show. It really adds nothing to the show.

Bring on more fights!

What do you think about getting rid of the "team" concept and just having guys fight in a tournament? In the end, that is kind of what they are doing, but there is always that team element. The same old formula is not going to work forever.

I think the team element is their way of keeping the hostility in check. Just think if everyone was gunning for each other from the start..........no sleep, violent sparring and fights everywhere, they would need to bring in more coaches.

Use this current format, but let the fighters choose whose team they want to be on after they win their fight: first fight winner chooses his coach, second fighter to win gets next choice. True, the most popular coach would have a team first, but it would be an added incentative to win fights to be on the team you want.

DEFINATELY!!!

I am really feeling this season! Great fights and some good all around action!

I think that the fact they had to fight their way in is GREAT! That way we all know everyone on the show earned it! I think they should start doing that every season!

As far as the money it definately is a good incentive!

Just a great season so far!

From what little I've gotten to watch I prefer this season over most of the others! I to could do without so much house drama! My mian intrest is watching the Trianing and fights! One of the reasons I liked the season with the vetern fighters is they were real fighters. Not just a bunch of nuts laying around drinking and running thier mouth all the time!

The house drama must sell or I don't see why Dana would let them tear the hell out of the house. I myself don't go for it. I watch it for the matchups. I also think the 5K for each fight is a plus as long as the fighters keep fighting this good. Looking forward to the fights this week.
