Holy s**t! Faulkner was really disappointing in that fight. he looked awful!!!

Frank my have took that fight; but he still hasn't been impressive.
Fair play to him though for getting in there considering his condition

Although Lester may not have the technique that the other cast members have, his heart is tremendous, and for that he deserves the win. Pay him his respect the kid has earned it.

He does deserve respect for taken part.

But he has yet to prove him self as a fighter. Wouldn't you agree?

Frankie Lester proved something in this fight, not only to the other fighters in the house, but to himself. Frankie proved that what ever happens in a fight, having heart means more than anything.

He stepped into the octagon with his front teeth missing, stiches in his eye just removed especially for this fight, and an intense desire to make it in this sport.

Faulkner has one of the greatest skill sets of any fighter to come through the TUF series ever, but i feel, let himself down in that fight. HE siad in the post-fight interview "i wasnt gonna go out htere just for the sake of being macho." i think he didnt fully grasp what an enormous decision not getting off that seat after the second round was. Not only for the financial benefits of winning the series, not only for team moral and team belief, but for Faulkners own personal fighting career.

If he does continue to fight after the series is over (which i truely hope he does) he has set himself back years in his career advancement. if he managed to win the series (which was easily within his reach) he could be standing shoulder to shoulder in leading English MMA into the future with Michael Bisping.

Bisping was extremely dissapointed in Faulkner as there are close friends (they both train in Wolfslair), but not even just disappointment at his lack of motivation in the fight but a bit disheartened that Faulkner didnt see what a hope opportunity he has missed.

My hope. . . . . someone drops out and Faulkner gets a chance to show what he is truely capable of, and thats winning the entire Series and making major noise in what ever weight class he decides to enter. if he felt like entering a Sumo contest i couldnt bring myself to count him out he has an huge arsonal of skills, i hope he does get his shot in the UFC and he keeps making strides forward.

but all said and done WELL DONE FRANKIE u gutted it out and for that alone u deserve to go through. . . u dont have the greatest speed, strength, skill or mentality but Frankies heart is huge . . . like Dizzydw said i see a bit of Forrest Griffin in him . . .

I know i said he doesn't desverve to be in the house after beating no one, but Frankie beat one of team uk's top fighter and pretty much made him quit, so hats off to frank lester.

I don't know who the best fighter on team UK is. But it certainly is not, and never was Dave Faulkner.. Dunno why every body assumes that.

Think it was the real negative guy that's afraid to fight said it once. Now everyone just took it as matter of fact

Faulkners a fraud maybe he does have all the skills but he cant do it where it matters. He lost on his stool to a guy that was already beat up and just needed finishing off not really world class. Oh and while we are talking about tough guys whats all the fuss about being squirted with water fron Johnson!! My two little girls do it all the time and dont squeal like that big la la.. oh no not the comfy chair tough guy ultimate fighter my donkey
