What’s up all you MMA FREAKS!

The Ultimate Fighter 11 has been up and down this season, with injuries, house fights, decisions in the ring. Some have been bitter sweet, but there still can be only one Ultimate Fighter.

The question that everyone is thinking about is who is going to be the “Wildcard”.

Hammortree says he deserves the wildcard spot the most, but also says Chris probably thinks that he deserves it just as much.

Kyacey also states that he deserves it.

Nick Ring suffers a painful knee injury during practice, putting his future in the Ultimate Fighter in jeopardy.

In this episodes fight…..

Joe Henle, said just because he has a MBA doesn’t mean he don’t put the same amount of effort and drive into MMA. “I want this so bad!” He said.

Joe ” Leonidas” Henle vs Seth Baczynski

Round 1

Baczynski gets Henle in a triangle after Henle took him down right away and then transitioned into guillotine choke.

They kept switching back and forth for top position not doing much damage at all.

Round 1 ends with Henle on his back trying to get Baczynski in a triangle.

Round 2

Tito tells Baczynski to push the pace.

After Baczynski to Henle down and had a kamora almost locked in Henle gets out and take his back. Tried to get a rear naked choke but wasn’t successful. and Baczynski got back on top in Henle’s guard.

Not much action until Baczynski got free and hit Henle with an uppercut on the way up, then came flying with a knee and somehow Kenle got out of the way. Dana White or someone from the crowd yelled “oh shit” because it was going to be a hard hit.

The fight was declared a draw so they went to the 3rd round.

Round 3

Right away it goes to the ground again and Baczynski lands in Henle’s guard. Chuck Liddel was yelling to not take it down to the ground.

Baczynski pretty much dominated the 3rd round by gound and pound in Henle’s guard.

Seth Baczynski defeats Joe  Henle

Kyacey Uscola got the first Ultimate Fighter 11 Wild Card bid.

Kris McCray got the second Ultimate Fighter 11 Wild Card bid.

Rich was injured in his fight, and can’t continue, so Dana White put Court McGee in his spot because his fight was so close and didn’t get to go to a 3rd round.

Henle thought he should have got a Wild Card spot and Hammortree was really disappointed to not get a second shot.

Stay tuned for next WED Wild Card Fight and a surprise visit to the house by Dana White. Could another fighter’s time be ended by injury.

This episode starts out with every one waiting on news from Dana. A few said they had bad feelings about it and the news ended up with Chris Camozzi having to go home because he got a fractured jaw in his first fight to get in the house.

So, now Tito and his coaches get to look at the fighters that tried to fight their way into the house and choose one to come back and get another shot at being The Ultimate Fighter.

“What’s up with the 3am man on man massages going on” Chris McCray said.

Tito and his coaches brought back Seth Baczynski.

Yager and Ring start getting into it and trading words while sparring and Tito pulls them aside and give them the Tito Pep talk.

Coach Liddell picked Brad Tavares to fight James “The Sledge” Hammertree in the next fight. Hammertree said he holds the record for the fastest knockout in California at 5 sec.

Tavares had Hammertree in  a rear naked choke and had it tight in the first round, but couldn’t capitalize.

Second round Hammertree got the mount and had a few a take down and judges called it a draw.

Sudden Death wasn’t too exciting and the decision went to Tavares.

Next weeks episode looks like a few tempers start flying and Tito rips a door down. Gonna be a good one.

Stay tuned to Spike on Wed. 10pm!

…or just come vistit ufcthrowdown.com and check out the recap.

Kendall Grove vs. Mark Munoz

ROUND 1: Grove landed a big upper cut that dropped Munoz 1:30 into the first round, but Munoz recovered and secured a single. Munoz battled back by taking Grove down, but landed himself into a guillotine, he was able to get out of it, just to get caught in another and getting saved by the bell.

ROUND 2: Munoz came out swinging for the fence and caught Grove, but while coming in tight Grove landed a big knee.
What come from behind victory for Mark Munoz….He ground and pounded Grove and it was a wrap.

Rafael Dos Anjos vs Terry Etim

• Dos Anjos wins by an arm bar

Gustafsson vs. Davis

• Phil Davis wins by Anaconda choke with 5 seconds to go in the first round.

Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie

Hughes said before the fight he thinks this is the fight that is going to bring the violence back out of him and the fights gonna go his way.

..and then comes rollin’ into the song “A country boy can survive”

Renzo come out swinging after he sizes Hughes up and landed a nice right, Hughes ties him up quick. Both are throwing some good low kicks.

They got boos at the end of the second round because it wan’t a very fast paced fight. Hughes was just chopping down that left leg of Gracie.

Renzo Gracie is really damaged…Hughes gives it kick and Gracie goes down every time. Hughes helped him up at one time. Hughes hits him with a few more solid leg kicks then lands a few big punches and knocks Renzo Gracie out.

• Matt Hughes wins by TKO

Lightweight Championship- BJ Penn vs. Frankie Edger

Penn looked really focused and more ready to throwdown than ever. Edger comes out looking fast and relaxed…landing some good leg kicks and few jabs on the champ Penn. Edger had some good side to side movement going making it hard for the champ to get his jabs in.

Penn had a nice little mouse under his left eye after the first round.

Penn comes out in the second round and gets his timing down  and starts landing some solid counter strikes along with some left hooks. Edger starts mixing it up and landing some nice shots and leg kicks, but still wasn’t able to take Penn down.

Going into the championship rounds, Penn’s corner said to try to take it to the round, but he kept standing with Edger.

5th and final round…Penn looks a little winded, but edger is still moving fast and finally took Penn down with authority. Edger landed some hard shots on Penn’s face and continued to mixed it up with leg kicks…

Went to the judges….To me it looked like Edger edged that fight out..plus Penn’s face was busted up more out of the two.

…and a NEW Lightweight Champion of The World! Frankie “The Answer” Edger

• Edger wins by unanimous decision.

The Middleweight Championship -Anderson “The Spider” Silva vs. Damien Maia

Joe Rogan calls Anderson Silva the modern day Bruce Lee. Anderson Silva kept toying with Maia, almost crawling at one point. Silva did land a big flying knee that dropped Maia, but Silva let him get back up.

Silva kept the clowning up and made Maia look like an amateur in the second round. It continued until the 5th and Maia came alive landing some big shots and finally grabbed a leg, but Silva got away.

Not a fight you would want to watch 5 rounds for the Championship. There were Boos after boos when they announced Anderson Silva was still the Middleweight Champion of The World.

• Silva wins by unanimous decision.

He apologized for his behavior and he said he don’t know what got into him. He promised it won’t happen again.

Until next time….

This season of the Ultimate Fighter (11) is going to be a great season. There are quite of few guys with a lot of heart and some that can really throwdown.

Like every year though….there are those few that give up and will always say “what if” and look back at their opportunity of a lifetime.

The coaches are Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz…bound to be some words this season for sure. Will Chuck keep his composure or give into the cocky-confident Tito Ortiz?
Either way, that is going to one hell of a fight after the finale. Liddell/Ortiz III
