Scarola sucks. I probably could beat him standing up or on the ground AND I know nothing!

Scarola sucks. He showed no skilsl during TUF.

serra disowned him. even dana white said scarola would never come fight in the UFC again. i highly doubt true students would train under a sensei, master, or whatever scarola calls himself that has no real fight experience.

I think he’s a punk. He acted like a big cry baby on the show. I think he has some BJJ skills, but I don’t think he has much confidence in himself. Plus, he doesn’t like to get hit, so he should just stick to BJJ and stay out of the MMA game. I don’t like the way he justifies his actions by saying Matt Serra’s school didn’t allow him to grow. What a joke. This guy seems to have no loyalty to his friends. I couldn’t care less if this guy EVER gets another shot.

wow, and this scarola (or should i said SCAREDola) was best man at serra’s wedding.

I’m just glad the UFC and Serra don’t want anything to do with the guy anymore. He pussied out and betrayed his home team. They guy may have talent but he has no heart.
On the other hand, I still haven’t found anyone who knows that move he pulled in TUF. He can teach his students how to tap out before the bell sounds…he can call that his famous tap in under 5 seconds technique.

Leave Joe alone, he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Joey is skilled at BJJ or he wouldn’t have been a instructor at
the Serra’s gym. I got the feeling he was pushed to take part in UFC training camp. He should have been his own man, and said No.. to Matt. I saw how Matt reacted when Joey want to go home – when he lost. Joey didn’t or doesn’t
have the MMA fighter instinct or personality. So it make you wonder why was there to begin with…
