Tough break for Justin Edwards; he’s informed that both coaches and Dana wanted him to be the alternate, but he’s on a 90-day suspension so he’s out. So we go through the charade of asking each eliminated competitor whether he wants the spot (they all say they want it, some with more conviction than others).
Then we’re treated to an eerily cordial exchange—dare I say collaboration—between Junior dos Santos and Brock Lesnar.
Damn, fellas, where’s the animosity.
Ultimately, Chuck O’Neil and Javier Torres. Picks seem reasonable to me considering there wasn’t a huge selection of overwhelming candidates. This doesn’t sit well with Team Lesnar’s Len Bentley, who says during next week’s preview that he’ll fight that “big motherf*****” in reference to his coach.
Proving, once again, these guys might not be too bright, but they’ve sure got confidence.
Tune in next week to see how that works out for Mr. Bentley, who appears to confront Brock about the perceived sabotage.
That should be fun.
