Heb je mijn invoer wel meegenomen in het overzicht?
Ik had 5/6 maar lijkt erop dat je ze als gemist hebt staan.

Laat maar weten of ik een print screen moet maken

Ik was inderdaad vergeten jouw score over te nemen van Just Bleed.
Heb even gecheckt daar, maar dat was een 4 uit 6.

quote:

Ten years after the original Ultimate Fighter television show put the UFC on the map, one of its cast members fell off. So … whatever happened to Jason Thacker, the quirky Canadian that trained out of the old abandoned truck stop?

quote:

"I didn’t actually have any MMA experience heading into that show," he says. "Nobody knew that I didn’t have any MMA experience. This is the first time I’ve actually said that to anybody, that I didn’t have any. It was pretty crazy when you think about it. So many people were prepared to be in that house, and they knew what was coming up. I didn’t have a clue."

quote:

"Right over there, that’s the bar where I got into a brawl after the show aired," he said, as he drives us to lunch. It’s a bar called The Office, which we laugh is a perfect name for a lushing crib. Honey, I’m afraid I’m going to be at The Office late again tonight. It’s just an icebreaker. Thacker has a sense of humor. But within five minutes of meeting him he’s telling me how he took a pipe to the face at that very bar. He was jumped by a couple of guys who didn’t like the way he repped his country on the show. "A lot of people wanted to fight me after that," he says. "I got into a lot of fights."

quote:

Where most of the TUF cast knew for at least a month that they were in and when to report, Thacker was given a day. He didn’t have any MMA experience, which he says he overtly confessed to them right then, and he hadn’t been training — but these weren’t disqualifiers. He was the guy. With his feet turning cold and his head not right, he says he told them he wasn’t sure about being on a reality show. He wasn’t sure what he was doing. His family didn’t know where he was. There was so much left undone. It was do or don’t, with no time to process. There was nothing to turn back to.

quote:

He was prescribed Risperidone, a controversial drug that has been used to treat bi-polar disorders and schizophrenia, as well as Effexor, which treats anxiety disorders. He was also on Prozac.

"As soon as I signed the contract, they took all my clothes, because they had labels on them," he says. "They just gave me what they could find, ratty old clothes they found in wardrobe. I didn’t actually bring my medication. I told them about that, and they said, well, we can’t do anything, we need to have some legal forms filled out. I arrived to the house cold turkey off all these medications. So I was going through harsh withdrawals. It’s horrible getting off that stuff."

And the next morning they began filming The Ultimate Fighter. Which, as he sits there recounting the events — the social anxiety, the cameraman, the withdrawals, the strangers, the fighters, the pranks, the confessionals, the walls closing in, the fibs, the fact that his family didn’t know where he was, the piss on the bed, the realization that he was in over his head — became the beginning of the end for Jason Thacker, the most overwhelmed, underprepared fighter to ever appear on the franchise.

quote:

When he fought Leben, Thacker was billed as a "champion wrestler" and an "alternate Olympian," who’d proven himself on the amateur circuit in MMA, boasting a 4-1 record. The truth was, he had limited Thai boxing experience in smoker shows in British Columbia and his wrestling roots were confined to a single year in middle school.

quote:

Of course, "reality" and the reality are different. When asked if the show ruined his life, Thacker says it did. Boldness, contrary to what Goethe once suggested, does not have genius, power and magic in it. Not in this case.

Thacker doesn’t have kids or a wife or a girlfriend. No cell phone, no car of his own, no job, and no friends. Somewhere along the way, when the punch lines began adding up and the humiliation sank in, the seasons began to pass through his window without him. He stopped going out. Maybe he was always destined to be a private person. But as he drives me out to the compound to see the old abandoned truck stop, it’s clear that his big break turned into his ultimate ruin.

Zal wel moeten he, wat moet ze anders in de UFC? Er is geen hoger weight class.

Denk dus dat 135 halen het probleem niet zal zijn.
