The big storyline on this week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter was that one fighter, Keon Caldwell, quit just days after the show started. Caldwell’s teammate, Ramsey Nijem, says in his weekly interview with MMAFighting.com that it’s hard to respect a teammate who quit on the chance of a lifetime.
Nijem says he was surprised that Caldwell decided he couldn’t keep going, and although Caldwell said he quit the show to spend time with his daughter, Nijem wonders whether it wasn’t just that Caldwell realized he wasn’t good enough.
The full interview also touches on the fight in this week’s episode, in which Chris Cope of Team Lesnar beat Javier Torres of Team Dos Santos.
