The Ultimate Fighter – Season 12, Episode 10

We already know Jonathan Brookins and Nam Phan will be in the semi-finals. Who will join them? That's what this week's show is all about. They've saved Bruce Leroy's fight for the very end, presumably to milk every last bit of his irritating personality before disposing of him (see also - Slice, Kimbo). Our first … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 12, Episode 10

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 12, Episode 1

Yes, I know I'm horribly late on this, but I'm going to get us caught up dear readers.  Just hang tight.  I've been watching them.  I just haven't had time to write about them. The 12th season of the UFC and Spike TV's MMA reality show focuses on the lightweights as well as the escalating … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 12, Episode 1

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 9

The first thing we see when the show opens is Tito Ortiz telling his fighters he needs surgery on a slipped disc.  Sounds more like he's trying to duck Liddell to me.  I'm just saying. Tonight we were scheduled for two fights. The first one was Kris McCray and Kyle Noke. The two guys took … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 9

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 8

When last we checked in with our Ultimate Fighters, several personnel moves led us to the precipice of the quarter finals.  Before we can get there we've got to go through the wild card fight. New to this season, the wild card fight gives a pair of fighters a second chance to advance.  Last week, … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 8

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 7

Well, May sucked. Let's just leave it at that. I got behind on everything, including these.  I plan to make up for that tonight.  I'm forgoing a live viewing of tonight's 2 hour finale in order to write my reviews of the four episodes of TUF Season 11 I missed. When last we convened, there … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 7

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 5

When last we left our merry band of MMA fighters, Team Ortiz had taken control after Jamie Yager nearly crushed the skull of Charles Blanchard. With a couple of the wildcard contenders down with post fight injuries, speculation is rampant in the house as to how the powers that be will choose the wildcards. Hammortree … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 5

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 … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Heavyweights, Episode 11

The Ultimate Fighter – Heavyweights, Episode 10

This week brings us week 2 of the quarter finals.  Our scheduled fight is Brenden Schaub and Jon Madsen. However, the bigger news seems to be the ongoing soap opera of Matt "Meathead" Mitrione.  Mitrione finally returns to the training center with a story of his brain swelling as the cause of his recent absence.  … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Heavyweights, Episode 10

The Ultimate Fighter – Heavyweights, Episode 3

Well, it didn't take long for us to get to the fight everyone but Dana White wanted to see. Does Kimbo Slice have what it takes to make it in the UFC? Or will former IFL champion, Roy Nelson, flatten him like the pancakes he's so fond of? The show gives us a lot of … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Heavyweights, Episode 3
