Katson asiaa siltä kantilta että Anton haluaa takaisin ufc:n. Kuinka moni täällä rehellisesti sanoo että Piercen voittamalla ufc on yhtään lähempänä ?
Voin sanoa vakavalla naamalla että tuota voittoa ei noteerata ufc:ssa käytännössä mitenkään.
Jason Pierce didn’t exactly make the best of impressions on The Ultimate Fighter’s ninth season. Things started badly when he passed out during Dana White’s first speech to the fighters, but he rallied round to claim a decision win during the elimination round. Pierce continued to fumble his way through the show, angering his team-mates due to his work ethic, or lack thereof, before declaring that he had a staph infection.
With his place in the quarter finals in jeopardy Pierce continued to show an apparent lack of desire and motivation to compete. Not impressed, Dana White decided that Pierce would not be allowed to continue in the competition. Needless to say Pierce was not on the short-list of fighters asked back for the season finale.
After the show Pierce spoke out regarding his apparent unhappiness with the way he had been portrayed on the show. He partially blamed Zuffa for not getting him to a hospital quicker after he told them he had staph, and suggested they tried to cover it up by not showing how badly his foot had swollen, or the fact his weight increased to 195lbs due to IVs he was being given.
Pierce did finally get back into the cage at a regional show in October of 2009, picking up a win. He hasn’t fought since.
