Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 2: Suck It Up
On April 8, 2010 at 7:53 am
Take an afternoon on the road, throw in two cups of Coke and three cookies. That’s pretty much been my day up until now. But add to that an hour spent in front of the TV with a heavy load of hand-to-hand combat, cook at four hundred and seventy five degrees in the explosive flames [...]
The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 – A Look Ahead
On February 5, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Like noble Viking warriors of Valhalla, or that ignoble Scientologist tin navy called the “Sea Org,” the fighters of the UFC keep coming back. Whether Randy Couture in and out of retirement, former TUF coaches Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz tapped for Season 11 of my favorite last-man-standing reality show, or matchmaker Joe Silva’s axe [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 11: Road to the Finale
On December 3, 2009 at 9:46 am
Seeing as this is the last episode of TUF before its Saturday finale, I reckon it’s time for a celebration. In true Ultimate Fighter style, though, it’ll work according to “last man standing” rules – I’m going to be recounting two hours and four fights for you. Ready? Okay, we all know Matt’s on thin [...]
Ultimate Fighter Episode 10 – Gut Check
On November 24, 2009 at 12:11 am
After last week’s improbable loss by Justin Wren, our next hour finds – during Team Rashad training – the concussive waste laid to Matt becoming less a concrete reality and more another piece on a chess board which is falling down around him. Coach Evans, and other fighters, voice ever louder discontent with what seems less [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 9: Rattled
On November 13, 2009 at 9:55 am
For those of you who didn’t catch it Wednesday, and since I’ve been combating a major onrush of brain freeze with coffee and sausage biscuits this morning, let me finally get around to re-capping our first quarter-final episode of Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights. The Statue of Liberty replica of “New York, New York” is among the [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 8: One Soldier Left
On November 5, 2009 at 9:58 am
Rat Mitrione is staying another week, and Rampage ain’t happy. That was the final verdict of last week’s Ultimate Fighter episode, which left a bad taste in the mouths of a lot of people – as the episode opens, we get to see construction material be murdered all over again and split into three huge [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 4: Anaconda
On October 9, 2009 at 10:10 am
The other night it was with an inquisitive nature that I proceeded to view Kimbo’s non-ground-game and subsequent smackdown all over again; a nigh-dangerous moment between Rampage and Big Country; yet another conversation between the Bearded One and Abe – who, if he were on the set of Survivor, would have been home before Nelson’s [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 2: All About Survival
On September 24, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Fresh off the one-man demolition team sent to blow Abe Wagner’s orbital area into bits, we’re now being treated to the second episode of the Evans-Jackson blowout. As it opens, Kimbo, doing his best Lauren Caitlin Upton impersonation, reminds us all of his lust for victory. Roy Nelson, the fighter who first made his mark [...]
