The Ultimate fighter season 10 episode 4

No I don’t intend to do a show by show commentary like the phat UFC critics on youtube, but I did want to make a couple of observations on last nights testosterone drama.

Firstly, can we please stop pandering to Kimbo?
He lost, yet we spent what felt like half the show listening to confessional interviews about how awesome he was doing it. “Champions have lost in that (crucifix) position,” so have losers.
He’s a good fighter, better than most probably give him credit for, seems like a nice guy, he’s 34 and never going on a serious title run, there’s 15 younger fighters with better games I’d like to learn more about.

Secondly, wow Rampage abandons his fighter after the loss, that was really quite upsetting. However, I get the feeling we may be witnessing some crafty editing here, Ken Shamrock came off looking like an incredibly amateur moron who didn’t care at all about his fighters when he had his stint on TUF 3.
It does make for interesting viewing though; hearing the difference between the advice the two camps gave, watching Rashads fighter warming up on the pads and primal screaming while Rampage’s team sit around and relax.

Can we expect more of this kind of editing and show to follow Rampage’s shock retirement and withdrawal from the fight with Rashad? Would they actually change the show because of that? It’s easy to speculate but watching Demico Rogers experience his first loss on a stool in the middle of a cage while his coaches berated him from a distance was pretty awful.

you can expect to hear from me again if something noteworthy happens next week 🙂
