It's been a couple of weeks since The Ultimate Fighter has given us any striking examples of historic trash talk "in the field." Mostly it's all been pretty pedestrian. "I'm going to smash his face" this, "I'm going to make... CONTINUE READING HISTORIC TRASH TALK: THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER EDITION, PART 6»

Oh wow. At the end of last week's episode, when Efrain Escudero beat Shane Nelson with a triangle choke it so enraged his mentally unhinged friend Junie Browning that Junie JUMPED INTO THE CAGE and tried to fight everyone. That... CONTINUE READING HISTORIC TRASH TALK: THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER EDITION, PART 5»

One of the delights of reality TV, or the depressing sadnesses, depending on your particular outlook, is the extraordinary lengths that the contestants will go to express their intense disdain for their fellow competitors without coming to physical blows.

This week's episode of The Ultimate Fighter was light on the trash talk. That's OK. More time for elbows. My motto in the octagon has always been "Less Trash Talk, More Knee To Your Face" (I have never been in... CONTINUE READING HISTORIC TRASH TALK: THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER EDITION, PART 2»

Spike TV's reality show The Ultimate Fighter, which entered its eighth season last night, is admittedly not for everyone.

Last night's The Ultimate Fighter had a very exciting fight in it, but I don't post those here. We don't want to lose our five-year-old-girl audience (our entire audience). Instead I post baby-approved clips that give us a bloodless glimpse... CONTINUE READING THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER'S TIM CREDEUR IS NOT DONE YET»

If I learned anything from last night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter it's that you can learn defenses against double leg take-downs, straight arm bars, and ankle locks. But there is no defense against neck herpes. This show is so... CONTINUE READING THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER: ACHILLES' NECK HERPES»

I know that we are trying to market this website primarily to 14-year-old girls, so I'm having a hard time doing the kind of coverage of The Ultimate Fighter that I would like. When Matt Riddle knocked UFC hopeful Dan... CONTINUE READING THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER: JEREMIAH RIGGS STOPPED BEING POLITE»
