Review of episode 1
By David Snipes
No Bisping here, he has visa problems- he most likely was making sure Matt Hammill isn't around.
Quick review of Hendo vs Franklin
Hendo brings up his olimpic background- thats his motivation.
Dana with the intro to the US guys, and warns them that the UK guys are good.
Yet another guy drops- good lord- even Dana looks irritated
Jason Pierce says he just got hot- uh ITS A GYM! If you walk into a gym and it has AC and its 70 degrees LEAVE
Dana compares it to Phillipe fainting.
Dana with the F* Bomb who wants it.
Medical tests- John has Herpes- Later.
Thats 3 guys on Dana's crap list. Fainter, John(gone) and Christian(Weight)
Christian drops off the treadmill and Dana rips him a new one.
Christian says he stopped sweating
Dana makes Christian say he quit and gets the boot.
Dana makes another point that the UK guys were ready and tells them to ask Dan about it- UK is going to rip them apart.
I kinda don't like the rest of the US guys getting slammed for 3 guys- well 2- John should have known what he had but it was medical.
Wonder if Dana should have just had the fights and let the 2 best losers in? I would hate to show for this show and a 20 year old Anderson Silva show up and I have to face him and the next fight is 2 guys that don't know an armbar from a headlock who both go Kalib Starnes for 2 rounds.
2 teammates face off first fight
Miller is upset that he has to fight his training partner
Kevin Knabjian says Miller is a prick
(kidding)
That was funny.
Kevin looks a little like Forrest there.
Miller thows combos and is really pressing- almost falls off a frontkick but recovers, Forrest, er Kevin is REAL textbook and mechanical looks kinda stiff but a little crisper.
Kevin is taking the worst of it, falls and tries a weak takedown- but back up and we go again- Miller has a QUICK left jab though- dont; know if it has any power or is Kevin just absorbing them
4 minutes in and Kevin's mouth is open and is face is turning red.
Miller looked gassed
Round 2
Miller 10-9 but a 10-8 can be argued. 10-8 on my card.
Kevin his a MONSTER combo- 3-5 shots rapid and Miller goes down- Kevin tries to finish but Miller recovers.
Kevin drops back for - a figure four? no a Heel hook but thats a BAD move- why go for the submission when he is hurt and you never know is Maz is going to stop early.
Kevin loses the heel and Miller is backup
Miller finds a way down the pipe and Kevin mouth is bleeding- not dripping yet but he's swallowing his blood. Miller is PRESSING the fight- uppercut DROPS kevin but he is backup and Miller is trying to take the W - 3 times Kevin sags down but he keeps rising- he is just getting PUNISHED but won't go down Maz finally saves him from his chin and stops it when he drops- Kevin is defending himself (when he FINALLY goes down) and protests the stoppage.
Miller tries to console him but Kevin wants nothing of it.
Kinda sad- Miller is denyied any celebration there but he should get some later.
Kevin drops F-Bombs and punches a Wall- uh thats Chucks poster you just put your hand through.
Winner: Mike Miller TKO 1:59 R2
WW: Miller
Richie Whitson looks like Carrot-Tops little brother. Paul Byrd said he can do whatever he wants legally when the cage closes- ok.
Paul with the takedown quickly, Richie gets up but Paul flips him backdown- richie backup but gives paul his back. Richie bumps him off and Paul grabs a single leg again.
Richie back up.
Richie is KILLING him in the standup- and Paul just can't keep him down- he has 5-6 takedowns but done almost NO damage. Who is this guy Rashad Evans?
Richie is pounding this guy and Paul is swinging like he's in a bar fight.
down we go with Richie on top and some SLOPPY ground and pound- Paul turtles- Richie sneaks an arm through and gets a tap!
Richie Whitson defeats Paul Bird by submission (rear naked choke) at 3:11 of the first round.
Richie took NO damage there.
Waylon Lowe looks a little old.
Santino DeFranco came in for season 2 but had a brain anurism- but is back 100%
Dana mentions that Lowe was getting ragged on about having a chick tattoo around his belly button- I would rag on him too, to be honest until he Knocked me out- then I would wake up and keep ragging on him- he has one of those sun things around it- I wonder if he has a tramp stamp.
No first bump- lowe looks SHORT in there- lowe takes him down he looks THICK from the side- almost Sherk like.
Lowe with some good G&P DeFranco is just covering up- he's done
DeFranco has done JACK but lay there
Why is this not stopped? Maz told him 56 seconds ago he needed to fight back.
Lowe just ABUSED him for over 2 minutes- Maz never stopped it- Dana says he is NOT getting up.
ok people let me give you the rundown, ok?
DF has Lowe's head- Lowe throws 2 elbows and DF coversup.

Elbows
21/7/10/4
NINTY-TWO SHOTS, way to go Maz- you might go to jail if he's dead. Dana should fire you on the spot- if he had a corner this would have been LONG called. Dan should have done something. SOMEONE should have done something.
I cannot overstate how hard that was to watch over and over again. Santino is barely moving.
Lowe does not have a scratch on him
Santino is not really that messed up either- bump on the head- I don;t know who the corner is but he is giving a Dana-speach without the F-Bombs.
Thats a 10-1 round- even on the Judges Scorecard I know in some states 10-7 is the worst you can dobut thats a 10-1 round- it was like watching a guy hitting a heavy bag for half a round.
Fist Bump this time.
Lowe eats a HEAVY knee and goes down
Good recovery but when Lowe rolls over he gives up his back and Santino grabs the RNC and gets a HUGE upset. Holy crap- If I'm lowe after that beating Santino would have to kill me, I'd let him kill me right there.
Hendo does NOT look happy- he knows that is auto-loss right there.
Santino DeFranco defeats Waylon Lowe by submission (rear naked choke) at 0:45 of the second round.3
LW
Santino (go ahead and mark him #4)
Dana gives the highlight recap of Jason Pierce/Steve Berger fight
Jason drops him with a right but does no damage- dana seems bored with the fight- guess we should be glad to skip it.
Jason Pierce defeats Steve Berger by unanimous decision after three rounds.
Dana gives the highlight of Cameron Dollar/Tom Hayden
"Dollar takes him down and whales on him- round two same thing- Sollar slips out the back-grabs a RNC and he taps"
ok then, thanks Dana
Cameron Dollar defeats Tom Hayden by submission (rear naked choke) in the second round.
Johnson said he's going to do the ManDance . . .ok Elbe is out of Thiland and didn't fly back for a 4.99 dinner.
Dancing standup- Johnson is in mount and is dropping elbows
We don't have Maz we have Baldy the red- so you might have a chance there- I hope the Brit ref didn't take notes there.
Ray turtles but when DJ goes for the RNC he rolls back
Here we go again.
5 punches 2 elbows and we get a "you gotta fight back"
TWO more punches and REF STOPPAGE!!
See 9 uncontested shots and a STOP- Maz let over TEN TIMES that many go.
Demarques Johnson defeats Ray Elbe by TKO (strikes) at 3:10 of the first round.
Ray is busted up. Good stoppage there.
Lightweights:
1.Richie Whitson
2.Cameron Dollar
3.Santino DeFranco,
(one to go)
Welterweights:
1.Mark Miller,
2.DaMarques Johnson, (work on that standup)
Jason Pierce (unknown)
(one to go)
Dana gives a pep-talk and tell two of them they have to fight next- the 6 winners get jerseys.
Two more guys wander in.
Hendo wonders about having Junie's brother there.
Dana says Rob Browning is Junie's brother and Junie is the most famous guy of the TUF
Cole Miller exposed Junie and Chris Leban was MUCH more entertaining.
Preview shows that Browning=asshole again.
Close show.
