Ariel savaging Dillon is almost as funny as chael savaging Tito Ortiz. Bisping was the most ruthless though when he was mocking Dillon with his name and for getting choked out by a chocolatier who was a part time doorman. Dillon was showing him his face on Wikipedia to get inside the club and the doorman was not having it so he put him to sleep LOL

TUF is always special for Dana for sure. It's the tool that help UFC become popular. Some dramas on TUF are epic. Like "a snake in the grass". There are used to create interesting fights. Unlike contender fights, it's just like a qualification process. Aside of fighting, people also like drama. See Conor created so many, these dramas also created many of the fights and stories behind the fights. I bet he has a screenwriter team behind his acts.

I haven’t gotten to the Danis thing yet, but I don’t think it’s fair to use the fact that he didn’t violently resist a security guard. I don’t even like the guy but obviously he was avoiding getting into more trouble. If you’ve grappled for 15 minutes you know how to ankle lock a guy who is scissoring his legs from your back. In that context the tap means “hey you can get off of me now, I’m not going to give you any problems”
