The first thing we se this episode is Lyoto limping around the house. He injured his foot during his fight against Borrachinha, and still can’t put any weight on it. Luckily, the doctors say that it doesn’t appear too serious. Things should improve if he stays off it for a couple days. We then move to this week’s fight announcement. Team Wanderlei has control and they choose their heavy hitter Montanha to face Team Sonnen’s Vitor Miranda. The two are former training partners, and Vitor isn’t happy that he has to square off against a former friend. Montanha doesn’t like it either, but tells us … Read the Full Article Here

April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring another edition of the Downes Side! Coincidentally, I’ve had many readers tell me that the Nostradamus of MMA often gives them sunshine on a cloudy day. Others though, accuse my articles of being a ball of confusion, and that I let my imagination run away with me.No matter how you feel, I suggest that everyone give into temptation and order UFC 172. Live from Baltimore Arena in (you guessed it) Baltimore, Maryland, this night of fights will bring some order to the top-heavy light heavyweight division. Reigning champion Jon … Read the Full Article Here

The episode opens with the fighters arriving at the house and picking out their bunks. Many of them are excited for the opportunity, and it’s finally starting to hit home that they’re on The Ultimate Fighter. There’s no time to admire the decor, though, as we immediately move into breaking down this week’s fight between Team Penn’s Cathal Pendred and Team Edgar’s Hector Urbina. Even though he didn’t have to fight to make it into the house, Pendred isn’t short on confidence. “I know that I’m better than [Hector] everywhere.” He considers himself an all-around threat and wants to make a statemen … Read the Full Article Here

We open with Wanderlei Silva at the doctor’s office. His hand has been bothering him since last week’s scuffle with Chael Sonnen, and he wants to find out if anything is seriously wrong. The doctor tells him that he pulled a muscle in his hand and puts him up in a soft cast. We cut to the TUF gym and Job Kleber has his hand in a cast. Unlike Wanderlei, his injury came inside the Octagon. If the injury weren’t bad enough, Chael Sonnen has to deliver more bad news. Because Job cannot continue training, he must leave the show. Chael tells him that he’s very proud of his performance, and he will m … Read the Full Article Here

That’s right boys and girls, it’s time for another TUF edition of the Downes Side! Initially, there was some miscommunication with my editor and I wrote a densely worded essay concerning Transports Urbains Français. I was then told such work was “completely useless,” and decided to work on The Ultimate Fighter finale. It may not have the sex appeal of 21st century mass transit, but these Wednesday night fights will be sure to reach their entertainment destination. We have an all-Canadian finals, as the Canucks ran through Team Australia this season. After crowning a middleweight and welterweig … Read the Full Article Here
