Every season of the "The Ultimate Fighter" always seems to have a happy-go-lucky guy who comes off as just feeling blessed to be on the show. There's also usually a guy who gets a second chance to chase his dream due to an injury or some kind of controversy.
Just so ...

It’s been a fairly unpredictable season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” thus far, but no result was more unexpected (in my mind at least) than Amir Sadollah’s victory over Gerald Harris on last night’s episode of the show.
Sadollah seemed to be lacking confidence going into the bout while Harris, well, he ...

It wasn't quite Gabe Ruedieger-esque but Jeremy May's behavior on last week's episode TUF 7 was quite the controversial one. Actually, maybe controversial isn't the right word...annoying might be more accurate.So, why did he pour lime juice in Matt Brown's dip anyways? And why did the rest of the cast ...

Luke Zachrich is coming off a disappointing, yet spirited, loss to Dan Cramer on last night's edition of "The Ultimate Fighter" and I can't help but feel a little bad for him a day later.
You see, Zachrich's fight was nudged right after the whole Matt Brown-Jeremy May battle with little ...

When I first saw Matthew "Chipper" Riddle crush Dan Simmler's jaw on in the second episode of TUF 7, I quickly thought to myself: "That kid's going far in this tournament." I think it was a mix between the smug smile on his face and the excessive TV time he ...

Coming into the The Ultimate Fighter 6 it was crystal clear as to who the favorites and underdogs were. Phoenix, Arizona's Richie Hightower was no doubt viewed as a long shot to win the reality show. So, it was kind of surprising to see Hightower make it to the quarterfinals ...

Another busy week for the Zuffa family as Saturday night they held the The Ultimate Fighter Finale on Spike TV and this Wednesday on Versus is another blockbuster World Extreme Cagefighting offering.
Guida vs. Huerta certainly lived up to the hype and while I presume a ton of MMA fans lost ...

After interviewing Andrei Arlovski's better half, Patrycja Mikula, last week I realized that this girl really knows her UFC. So, I offered her a lucrative long-term deal to become The Park's official Swami. I think this was a great move on my part.
Before every UFC show, Patrycja will make her ...

One has to wonder how last night's quarter-final matchup on The Ultimate Fighter 6 between Tommy Speer and Ben Saunders would have turned out had Saunders not been so sick. Such is the life of a fighter - especially one on TUF. Come hell or high water, if you are ...

This past week's episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs. Team Serra was one of the more controversial ones ever as Head Coach Matt Serra refused to corner against two of his fighters.
In case you missed it, problems arose when four of Serra's fighters (Matt Arroyo, George Sotiropoulos, Troy ...

Despite his loss to Mac Danzig on last night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs Team Serra, John Kolosci deserves all the credit in the world.
Clearly, Danzig is the best and most experienced fighter in the house. However, his past MMA triumphs didn't faze the Indiana-native as Kolosci ...

Jon Koppenhaver was a late replacement to the cast of the The Ultimate Fighter: Team Serra vs. Team Hughes (Wednesdays @ 10 pm EST on Spike) but it's say to safe that he made a lasting impression on everyone - especially his coach, Matt Serra.
Last night, "the War Machine," as ...

Last night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter was, by far, my favorite of this particular season. Finally, we had two dynamic characters butting heads in the form of Jared Rollins and George Sotiropoulos. Throw in the fact that we got a glimpse of what Matt Hughes is like when he ...
