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 [...]
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 [...]
TUF 10: Episode 6 Recap and Analysis
So, last night was a big win for Darrill “Titties” Schoonover (10-0 MMA), who submitted Zak Jensen (7-3 MMA) with a triangle choke after laying a pretty solid beating down standing up. Really, though, it was a moral victory, who had taken a lot of Rampage’s smack talk seriously. Whether this will be the end [...]
TUF 10: Some Notes Before Episode 6
Well, it’s no secret that Team Rampage is having the worst season in the history of the Ultimate Fighter franchise.

TUF 10: Episode 5 Recap and Thoughts on Stupid
I’m not a Rashad Evans fan, but as this season of the Ultimate Fighter goes on, I find I’m liking “Sugar” Rashad more and more. Still, before I get into the backstage confrontation between Evans and Rampage, I figure it’s worth making a few notes about what happened in the show to help contextualize some [...]

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 [...]
Hamill vs. Jones Official
It’s been rumored for a while, but since the news is finally out, it’s worth mentioning that Jon Jones (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) will be featuring TUF 3 veteran Matt Hamill (6-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC). Both fighters are on solid winning streaks at the moment, with Jones currently undefeated and posting three straight in the [...]
Kimbo vs. Nelson Shatters SpikeTV Records
This really doesn’t surprise me, and shouldn’t surprise anyone. The program was incredibly well marketed, and that shows in the numbers. The reports appearing this morning assert that the number of household viewers was 5.7 million, with a total of 6.1 million tuning in at some point during the show, which makes it the highest [...]
TUF 10: Episode 3 Recap and Analysis
In case MMAOpinion was the first site you visited since moving out from underneath a rock, it’s worth repeating that Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson (3-1 MMA) was knocked off last night by favorite “Big Country” Roy Nelson (13-4 MMA), but the fight itself was not a terrible showing for Slice. Kimbo showed up looking, as [...]
TUF 10: Episode 2 Recap and Analysis
The biggest story of last nights episode of the Ultimate Fighter will inevitably be the upcoming fight between “Big Country” Roy Nelson (13-4 MMA) and the youtube warrior Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson (3-1 MMA).
