Marcus Jones: The Good Soldier
Sometimes, the fighter is so good that it doesn’t matter if his coaching sucks. This is hardly new on the Ultimate Fighter. We saw it with Ed Herman on TUF 3. We saw it with Travis Lutter on TUF 4 (though he was basically coaching himself, given the strange premise of the season). And we saw it with Mac Danzig on TUF 6 (though teammate Tommy Speer also made it to the finals, it was clear that the experience of Danzig drove him to, and through, the entire series). Well, Marcus Jones is… (Full Story)
The Slide Continues: Team Rampage Falls to 0-7
This season of The Ultimate Fighter continues to make history with Team Rampage falling to 0-7 in the opening round. This will make Rampage the first team ever to be in the position to get shut out going into the final match of the first round, and they will (at least) tie for the worst opening round record in the history of the show. Tonight, Matt Mitrione (0-0 MMA) beat the guy Team Rampage seemed to consider their great hope in winning the tournament: Scott Junk (6-2-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC). With… (Full Story)
TUF 10: Episode 5 Preview and Thoughts
It’s worth making a note, now that the Ultimate Fighter is halfway through the first round, that this season has featured the worst performance by any coach in the history of the franchise. Objective assessments presents that Rampage, as the only coach to open his first four matches without a win, is completely outmatched in terms of the team dynamic. In a pickup game of basketball, this kind of ass whupping is one where you reassess the teams and mix things up a little. Unfortunately,… (Full Story)
Like it or Not: Kimbo Will Fight in the UFC
A friend raised a question to me while we were hanging out the other day regarding the upcoming season of TUF and what will inevitably be a heavyweight packed TUF 10 finale. Apart from the massive recruiting potential of TUF when they really focus on picking up talent, there are a lot of guys on this season who have the potential to be huge draws as personalities. Former Tampa Bay Bucs defensive tackle and regular Howard Stern guest Marcus Jones (4-1 MMA) is one of the guys worth… (Full Story)
TUF 10 Analysis and Picks
I’ve been holding off on doing too much analysis of this season of TUF lately, because I did a good deal before the roster was officially announced and tried to give a little insight when the list was put out. That said, with the start of the season now well under a weak away, I’m happy to start writing about it. This season looks promising and, more importantly, it looks like it will help to jumpstart what has long been the UFC’s weakest and least interesting division. While the new influx… (Full Story)
