TUF 10 episode one

1) Rampage and Rashad aren't friends

2) Big Abe is a terrible mixed martial artist

3) the guy he fought is a terrible mixed martial artist

4) Bleeding a lot is not interesting, just kind of gross

That ends our coverage of The Ultimate Fighter, Season 10, Episode 1

Diaz-Guillard (spoilers)

I hate Nate Diaz so much. Him and Guillard. Diaz is 1-2. Guillard is, once again, a chump. Let's see what he tests positive for tonight.

Huerta-Maynard (spoilers)

Good fight. Roger Huerta...please. Re-sign with the UFC. Shit dude, you just had your Exorcised and didn't burp up any pea soup...I'm not sure where you stow em in the tighties, but you got massive fucking balls.
Maynard is impressive, but BJ Penn or Diego Sanchez right now would tear him up. No stoppages yet.

They're announcing Nate Diaz as TUF champ. Champ by shoulder injury. Meh.

Condit-Ellenberger (spoilers)

Well, Carlos sure has had is hands full with his first two fights in the UFC. They're not feeding him any warmups, thats for sure. Even his last-minute replacement is tough as hell. How Condit survived the 1st I have no idea.
Impressive display of heart and cardio by Condit, and heart by Ellenberger. I thought the fight was not that close...I guess you could give Jake the second and first on takedowns and whatnot. But I thought Carlos won. I like watching both these guys fight, I hope Jake gets another bout in the UFC.
Apparently Condit trains with creepy bald ginger twins.

Credeur-Quarry (spoilers)

Damn Rock's face got messed up.
Credeur was impressive, as was Nate, but I don't know if either of these guys could stand there and get punched that often against many other middleweights.
Great postfight interview with Nate. "My gameplan was simple so I wouldn't forget: go fight". I've actually come to like Nate a lot more since TUF than I did on TUF.
Where was this Crazy Tim on the show?

Undercard nightmare


Why isn't Brock Larson a bigger deal in the UFC's welterweight division. Dude has a pretty stunning record at 26-2, with wins over some better 170lbers. He's fighting on the undercard next week...the guy's only losses are to Jon Fitch and Carlos Condit. Hopefully he's one win away from being on a televised spot. He's an animal.

Entertaining interview with Stompin' Wes Sims


Ol' Cagepotato puts down the ink. My favorite quote:

What surprised you the most during your experience on TUF?


I’m surprised how much food was eaten in that house. I’m surprised that, of that food, so much of it was eaten by Roy Nelson.

Go take a look.
