Do not read further if you don't want to know any show results... but I thought this one was relevant as it pertains to a fellow forum member and nice guy.  And remember, last year I told you all about Scarola getting sub'd, leaving the show, and getting kicked outta Serra's and got totally bashed, called a liar, insulted, etc. etc. so my info is legit.

[CharlesRandolph]

Forum member and BJJ brown belt Dan Simmler gets beaten pretty bad in the first round of the show, so he is unable to make it into the "show" itself.  His record was 0-0 going in, and reportedly Dana's commentary on the show will be a tad harsh about guys who have no experience thinking they can jump into the UFC are delusional.  Apparently Dana says Dan Simmler has been to several try-outs and been a pest about getting on the show, but has not taken the time to do any fighting in preperation.

The above is factual, what I'm also told (but cannot confirm) is Dan Simmler's jaw was broken in the fight.  Anyone friends with or know him, care to enlighten us?  Hopefully this young kid goes out and gets some local, lower level fights and then brings his awesome submission and BJJ skills back to the octagon.

where's the spoiler?

[princegiggy]

What's Simmler's screen name on jjgear?

What's Simmler's screen name on jjgear?

Dan is Macaco Loco right?

[silverscreen]

Usually by the way of most reality contracts  he has to stay mum until his episode airs or Uncle Dana will be wearing Dan's new school on his pinky.  Also another thing that I can't understand is that mmajunkie.com I believe will have a guest commentator that can't be revealed because he makes the house which means he had won his first fight. Can this guy get in trouble for spoiling his episode before the season eventhough his results have not been posted? They will not release his name until his episode has aired but I would not want to risk pissing off the big guy. I mean if I had a chance to get on the show, I would be drinking two helpings of the koolaid and even tell people I practice "UFC"!

[JJB]

Since Dan has been rumored to have been on the show, has since been posting on here and said that he was not in the TUF house, and they announced that they were bringing in 32 fighters to compete for 16 spots...I don't think that it's a surprise that he lost his fight to get in the house. He has really good BJJ and has been a solid competitor for years now so I'm sure that if he decides to committ to MMA he will have some success. I hope the broken jaw is just a rumor because that is a shitty injury to have but either way good luck to Simmler in the future.

[Invincible]

I think he may have done some amatuer MMA, but i'm not sure.

I've seen him compete few times in BJJ and no-gi comps...he's pretty good in that arena.  I hope he bounces back and tries MMA again if that's where his heart is.  Good luck, Simmler.

[princegiggy]

Just a question, maybe someone in the know will have the answer.  If Simmler did have his jaw broken does the UFC cover the initial expense along with any future surgery that is needed along with physical therapy if need be.  If he can't assume his day job(Don't know if he had one or not) would they be liable to cover his bills until he could return to work. 

[Daniel]

What's the date of the first show?

[SubmissionFytr]

Dan's jaw was wired this past weekend at the Pan Ams...guess it's true 

Get 'em next time Dan

I had a a student tell me about this post, I was under the impression it was bashing me, glad to see it wasnt, it really means a lot to me that I have support from my peers. Thats why I post on this forum because I feel there are more people who are atually in the sport rather than others that are couch potato MMA bashing types.  I dont want to get in trouble for talking, so I promise Ill make a post the minute the fight is over and answer any questions you guys might have.   

What I can say based on what was posted about Dana, and I hope its not true about what he says, I have NEVER been a pest, I have tried out twice, I went to the TUF 3 tryouts and participated only to have something to do and support 3 of my teammates that were looking to get in. After the 4 or 5 rounds of cuts, I was sitting in the office interviewing having made it through and really having no interest at the time, and my teammates had been cut.
I tried out for this season and they invited me out, I didnt make a tape, I didnt call and bother anyone, I didnt even act like the typical cocky dick,  that always gets associated with our sport and MMA. I was humble as can be, I hope everyone supports me and my future, it has been a very tough road these last 8 weeks and Wed is going to be tough as well. Promise Ill post a reply for you guys Wed explaining my leading up, during and at and after the show. i can only tell what you have seen or has been aired, thats it, dont want to get introuble.

Thanks for the suport, it means alot.

Best of luck in the future, Dan.

Even this might be saying too much dude, you should probably erase your post until your figth airs. They are serious about this ish. Congrats though

[AZChokester]

Simmler is a cool dude.  regardless of the outcome, you have accomplished more in BJJ than most.  Best of luck bro!
