Some of the dudes on season 5 were insufferable. Gabe Rudeger constantly looking for drama and “Mr. Awesome” Marlon Sims just being so great. It’s cool seeing the come up of guys like Diaz, Lauzon, and Miller. Wiman was fucking 23, seems like he’s 58 nowadays.Yeah Rampage is pretty trash as a coach, but I'm mostly referring to all the high school drama thats on that show, people like Wes Sims (who looks surprisingly and acts like my older brother), James McSweeney, Abe Wagner is like a bunch of highschool teenage girls who came to a reality show to cause drama. The bullying of Zach Jensen and telling Matt Mitrione that he's not a real fighter because of his head injury where even Dana goes along and says hes faking it. I was boiling in rage through that whole season.
Dana White is so smart he basically forshadowed that Mitrione would never succumb to anything and doesn't have a fighters mentality.. Couple years later he beats friggin Fedor, literally the goat of the sport...

I definitely remember everyone hating on Kimbo like a bunch of mean girls. He came out of that season looking like a solid dude and more fans because it gave some depth to his character.
