Summer Movies 2010

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 4

This week's episode promised two fights. What does that mean? It means more of the fighting we tune in to see with the UFC and less of the reality show filler. We got the filler up front with footage from last week of Jamie Yager cheering on Brad Tavares.  The problem?  Yager is Team Ortiz …

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 1

The Ultimate Fighter – Heavyweights, Episode 11

There can be only one. Tonight we were treated to the 2-hour regular season finale and four, count 'em, four fights.  Factor in all the extraneous drama and it was a big night for TUF. Things start out with much discussion of Matt Mitrione and the "will he or won't he" nature of his fight …

This week brings us week 2 of the quarter finals.  Our scheduled fight is Brenden Schaub and Jon Madsen.
