Following last week’s “Where’s your kid?” fiasco, Tony Ferguson is persona non grata in the TUF house. He tries to strike up a conversation with Chuck O’Neil in the kitchen and gets brutally cold-shouldered. “He’s burnt every last bridge in this house,” Chuck explains. “He’s burnt a bridge with everybody.”
Tony finally gets a clue and apologizes to everybody — or at least tries to — claiming that he drank too much, blacked out, and doesn’t really remember what he said. Chuck ain’t having it: “I was disgusted by what you said last night. For you to put Charlie’s kid’s name in your mouth, and for him not to hit you in the face, that shows what kind of person he is, because all of us wanted to fucking kill you.” The other guys aren’t interested in making up with Tony either, and he eventually gives up. On the bright side, he didn’t come here to make friends, so at least he succeeded on that level.
Both semi-finals are slated to go down on this episode, starting with Chris Cope (Team Lesnar) vs. Ramsey Nijem (Team Dos Santos). They “woo!” at each other during the weigh-in. And it’s already time for somebody’s dreams to be crushed…

On the bright side, he didn’t come here to make friends, so at least he succeeded on that level.
Both semi-finals are slated to go down on this episode, starting with Chris Cope (Team Lesnar) vs. Ramsey Nijem (Team Dos Santos). They “woo!” at each other during the weigh-in. And it’s already time for somebody’s dreams to be crushed…
Round 1: Ramsey and Chris circle around each other for a moment, then Ramsey storms forward like a madman, winging punches and making Chris immediately retreat. Ramsey clinches up with Chris, pulls back to fire some more shots, then drops low for a takedown. Chris is as crafty as ever and stays upright. He starts punching down on Ramsey’s head. They trade knees. Ramsey connects with a sharp one. They separate and Ramsey goes apeshit with the punches again. He lands a knee then shoots. Chris sprawls, and they’re locked against the cage again. Ramsey drops even lower, grabbing for a foot; Chris pounds the top of his head but doesn’t go down. Ramsey gets up and there’s more knees from each side. Chris gets in more punches to Ramsey’s noggin. A knee from Chris. Ramsey returns one. Steve Mazzagatti breaks ‘em. Chris sticks the jab. Ramsey misses a 1-2, but lands a follow-up jab. Teep-kick from Ramsey. Leg kick Chris. Ramsey jabs to the body. Chris lands another leg kick. Ramsey tries to rush forward with punches but Chris dodges. Another combo from Ramsey and the horn sounds. Chris did well blocking the takedowns and working his dirty boxing, but I’d still give it to Ramsey 10-9 for aggression.
Round 2: Sharp leg kick from Chris to open the round. Ramsey comes in with a 1-2-shoot and finally gets a takedown, but Chris quickly escapes to his feet. Ramsey kicks him in the ribs as they separate. Stiff jab frim Ramsey as Chris advances. Ramsey throws a wide overhand right. And again. He clinches up. Chris scores with a knee and punches. Chris rolls out and gets mobbed by Ramsey’s punches and knees. A couple more straight punches make Chris wilt to the mat and Ramsey pours it on until the ref pulls him off. Ramsey Nijem def. Chris Cope via TKO, and advances to the finals of TUF 13.
…which brings us to the Tony Ferguson vs. Chuck O’Neil grudge match. Brock considers Ferguson to be his best guy, while O’Neil is Dana White’s underdog pick. “I’ve become a Chuck fan,” DW says. “He’s tough and gritty and really wants to win.”
“I don’t respect Tony as a person,” Chuck says before the fight. “I respect him as a fighter and that’s where the line stops.”
“If he brings emotion to a fight, that’s not the best way to do it,” Tony says. “When you bring emotion to a fight you don’t think clear.” But enough talk…
Round 1: They both land punches right away. Leg kick Tony. Chuck returns it. Tony jabs, Chuck counters. It’s a very tense, evenly pitched opening. Tony with another leg kick. Chuck lands a high kick, and counters with a right after Tony misses a punch. 1-2-left kick from Chuck. A hard hook from Tony. Tony jabs, and takes a quick leg kick from Chuck. Chuck jabs, Tony fires the straight. Chuck lands a couple shots moving backwards. Leg kick Chuck. Another straight from Tony, but Chuck counters harder. Tony shoots for an ankle, misses it. But he follows up with a superman punch and lands it flush. Chuck tries one of his own but misses. Leg kick Chuck. Jab Tony. Chuck throws a leg kick and Tony charges in with strikes. Tony catches a body kick and dumps Chuck on the mat, but doesn’t follow him down. Tony with a wide hook. Chuck throws a body kick. He lands a jab. Tony lands a clean straight right before the bell. Close round, with both guys trading shots back and forth.
Round 2: Inside leg kick from Chuck. Tony responds with his own. Tony catches a body kick and drives Chuck back. Leg kick Tony. Tony stalks forward, gets in a left hook. Leg kick Chuck. Tony lands his jab, and then a hard right. Tony on the attack. He scores with a leg kick. Chuck pops a jab. Two more leg kicks from Tony; he’s focusing on the inside of Chuck’s left leg now. Chuck gives one back. Tony landing some precision strikes. Chuck throws 1-2-leg kick. Tony with a leg kick. He throws at the body, chases Chuck down, punishes his leg some more. Chuck’s nose is bloodied. Tony works his jab, Chuck returns a straight. Leg kick Tony. Chuck tries a spinning back kick but whiffs. Chuck retreating, Tony lands a flying knee to the body at the bell. It’s a clear 10-9 for Tony, and Chuck looks beaten down. But hey, anything can happen in the third, right?
Round 3: Chuck throws an uppercut, eats a jab, then a leg kick. Tony fires again at that leg, then throws a straight punch. Chuck lands a body kick and rolls away. Tony chasing with the leg kicks and punches. He lands the leg kick again, and Chuck is really feeling them now; his leg is getting blasted off the mat with each one, and he’s setting it back down gingerly. Tony with a hard hook to the body, and Chuck returns a punch to the head. Another leg kick from Tony. A jab, and two more leg kicks. Chuck returns some punches, but he’s walking backwards the whole round. Tony fires high and low with his punches. Chuck tries a push kick. Tony lands a hook and a right straight, and Chuck has clearly had enough. He drops to the mat, almost welcoming a finish — but it doesn’t come. Tony backs off after a few hammerfists and makes Chuck stand, which is not an easy thing to do at this point. Tony almost changes his mind and launches back on as Chuck gamely hobbles to his feet, but Herb Dean allows Chuck to get up cleanly. Another leg kick from Tony, and a hook, a hard right, and another leg kick. One more leg kick, followed by a long straight and a body shot and Chuck crumbles to the mat once again. Herb has seen enough and puts Chuck out of his misery. Tony Ferguson def. Chuck O’Neil via TKO, and advances to the finals of TUF 13.
And so, this Saturday’s TUF 13 welterweight final will be Tony vs. Ramsey — two guys who have sliced through this season’s bracket, scoring three-straight stoppages apiece. It’s a striker vs. wrestler matchup…Tony is just slightly scarier, that’s all.
At the end of the episode, we get a segment about Brock Lesnar’s withdrawal from the Junior Dos Santos bout due to diverticulitis. “You focus on getting healthy, all that other bullshit I’ll handle,” Dana says.
Following last night’s show, three more matchups were announced for the TUF 13 Finale (which we’ll be liveblogging, by the way):
– Chris Cope vs. Chuck O’Neil. The third-place bout between the season’s losing semi-finalists, both from Team Lesnar. This bout will be aired on the live Spike TV main card, which kicks off at 9 p.m. ET.
– Justin Edwards vs. Clay Harvison. Justin “Small Randy” Edwards was the Team Dos Santos member who got knocked out by Tony Ferguson in the preliminary round and couldn’t come back in the wild card fight because of his resulting medical suspension. Harvison (Team Lesnar) defeated Mick Bowman by decision in the preliminary round, but was subbed by Ramsey in the quarter-finals.
– Shamar Bailey vs. Ryan McGillivray. Bailey (Team Dos Santos) outpointed Nordin Asrih in the preliminary round, but lost a decision to Chris Cope in the quarter-finals. McGillivray (also Team Dos Santos) eliminated Len Bentley via decision in the opening round, but was TKO’d by Tony Ferguson in the quarters.

When the anticipated rematch between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard was scrapped from this card, we were left with a few big names and a lot of hope. Despite a few stellar knockouts earlier in the evening, UFC 130 ended much like my date to see “No Strings Attached”: a lot of booing, a disappointing 15 minute fight, and I was out $50.
Every UFC card has to be about something, and with no gold up for grabs the storyline for this event became Quinton Jackson’s climb back up to the top of the Light Heavyweight division. Dana White declared and Rogan and Goldberg echoed that an impressive, entertaining victory over Matt Hamill would land Rampage a title fight with champ Jon Jones. Rampage secured the win, but his shot at the belt is still up in the air.

(“Hold up…you mean ya’ll were watching that shit???”)
Coming off of a semi-contested and equally boring win over Lyoto Machida, Rampage’s performance last night was meant to be more than a notch in the win column. If all went according to plan, it would have provided the UFC with the type of highlight-reel footage Jackson hasn’t produced since his knock out victory over Wanderlei Silva in 2008 and had fans clamoring for a fight against Jon “Bones” Jones. But last night’s fight yielded few fireworks if any. Hamill’s mantra in the lead-up to the bout was that he would break Jackson’s will, but only a few minutes into the bout it was “The Hammer” who looked like he’d rather be anywhere than in that cage. Going 0-17 in his plodding, telegraphed takedown attempts, Hamill was unable to get the fight to the ground and understandably reluctant to stand and trade with Rampage. As for Jackson, he did deviate slightly from his hands-heavy style–incorporating knees, elbows, and even a few token kicks into his attack–but he didn’t initiate or go in for the kill against a clearly gun-shy Hamill. After the fight, Jackson put some of the blame on a fractured hand he injured back in December of last year. [Note to Quinton: we believe you and all, but you’re not supposed to talk about that kind of stuff, bruh.] . Despite the lackluster performance, Dana White has stated that pending the positive outcome of tests on Rampage’s hand, he will likely be the first challenger to Jones’s belt.
If there were any questions about Frank Mir’s place in the heavyweight division following his first-round loss to Shane Carwin and coma-inducing win over faded star Mirko Cro Cop, they remain completely unanswered. His one-sided victory over the obese Roy Nelson says less about his dedication to training than it does “Big Country’s” lack of it. The time has come to call the “Big Country” experiment a flop. The myth of his terrific cardio has been dispelled in consecutive losses to Dos Santos and Mir, where he served as a very exhausted, very durable durable punching bag for the full three rounds. The dude has a terrific chin—did he even blink when he ate those crushing elbows late in round three?–but the notion that he can walk into the Octagon with Cheeto fingers and compete with the top of the division is absurd. Fatigue reduced his vaunted ground game to rolling to his ample belly and working his way to his feet; it’s an impressive trick even without Frank Mir on top of him, but it’s not enough to compete at this level. Mir looked good taking Nelson down at will and landing some heavy shots, but it’s fair to say that “Big Country” was looking for the path of least resistance throughout the fight, even if it meant getting smashed in the face or tossed to the mat. Despite his lethargic performance, Nelson does possess power in his hands- Mir left the Octagon with a broken jaw and rib to accompany his win bonus.
As for the rest of the card, they did their part to entertain and it’s a shame that their work was soured by the last thirty minutes of cage-time. Brian Stann opened the night with big knockout over the returning Jorge Santiago in the “Fight of the Night”. UFC heavyweight Travis Browne secured his spot on a future ‘Ultimate Knockouts’ dvd by felling mighty oak Stefan Struve in spectacular fashion. Demetrius “Mighty Mouse” Johnson won a tough-to-call decision over Miguel Torres in a hyper-active fight contested largely on the ground. Top Welterweight Thiago Alves was given no room to work against Rick Story. Story kept constant pressure on Thiago, pressing him to the cage and working for takedowns. His decision victory marks his sixth straight win in the UFC. Tim Boetsch looked dominant in his first fight at Middleweight, rag-dolling Kendall Grove in a one-sided decision. This was Da Spyder’s second consecutive loss and his third in four outings. Late replacement Rafaello Oliveira was overpowered by Lightweight juggernaut Gleison Tibau. Tibau’s second round ground and pound forced Oliveira to surrender his back and tap out to a rear naked choke in the evening’s only submission.

One positive thing you can say about the 13th season of TUF? It was mercifully brief. We’re already winding down to the end here, with just two more episodes to go until next Saturday’s finale show. Last night gave us two more quarterfinal fights, the selection of the semi-final matches (which go down next week), and a standout contestant making one of the most dramatic and unexpected heel-turns in TUF history.
Zach Davis feels confident in his quarterfinal rematch with Chuck O’Neil considering he’s already beaten him once. He knows it’s a dangerous matchup, but he wants to keep the fight standing this time to show the diversity of his skills. Because when you’ve got a good thing going, change it up I guess. Bad sign. Junior Dos Santos wants Zach to “do what he do well” — put Chuck on the mat and use his jiu-jitsu.
Chuck offers to give his teammate Charlie Rader his win bonus because Charlie recently had his son taken away from him and is being charged an arm and a leg for child support. The situation draws the sympathy of his teammates (“It’s not right…He deserves to have his kid, plain and simple”), but Charlie says he can’t accept the money. And of course, Chuck doesn’t even have it yet, so there’s that too.
“Chuck’s like a bad penny, he keeps showing up,” Zach says. And it’s already time for fight #1…

And of course, Chuck doesn’t even have it yet, so there’s that too.
“Chuck’s like a bad penny, he keeps showing up,” Zach says. And it’s already time for fight #1…
Zach Davis vs. Chuck O’Neil
Round 1: Zach lands the first jabs. He pushes forward, and Chuck starts to work his counter-punches. Chuck takes the middle of the cage, and lands a hard leg kick. Chuck fires some punches; Zach has already seen enough and shoots. He puts Chuck’s back against the fence and throws some knees to the body. Chuck returns fire. Zach drops a level trying to take Chuck down, but Chuck defends it. The ref breaks ‘em when the action slows. Push-kick from Zach, another sharp leg kick from Chuck. Zach attacks with punches and a teep. Leg kick Chuck, and he rocks Zach with a right hand. Chuck swarms and Zach responds by shooting and clinching with Chuck against the fence. Chuck pounds down on Zach’s head, then gets some space and starts throwing. Zach re-establishes the clinch. Chuck escapes and they trade punches. Chuck gets the better of the exchanges and Zach is on the run. Chuck finishes the round teeing off on Zach’s face, clinching the 10-9.
Round 2: Zach jabs, throws a leg kick, and gets tripped down by a leg kick from Chuck. Chuck pounces on, but Zach quickly establishes guard. Chuck lets him up. Zach weakly throws a leg kick, then a teep. He looks exhausted, but he’s still going through the motions. Zach shoots, Chuck sprawls. Chuck tries to disengage but Zach stays on him, grabbing onto his waist. He drags Chuck down and pulls guard, but Chuck escapes to his feet. Ferocious punch combo from Chuck. Zach shoots, Chuck sprawls. Chuck gets up with Zach glued to him. Zach puts Chuck’s back against the fence. Knee from Chuck. The ref breaks ‘em. A hard 1-2 from Chuck, and another punch that stings Zach. And a leg kick. And a hook. Another leg kick. Zach floats out more weak kicks and gets tagged hard. Chuck lands again with the 1-2. Zach shoots, Chuck sprawls and escapes. Leg kick from Zach and the round ends.
The judges score it 20-18 x 3 for Chuck O’Neil, who moves onto the semi-finals. No more Trash-Bag Charlie, eh? Dana White’s heart is clearly with the kid from Massachusetts; he’s shown jumping out of his chair to cheer the action. “Chuck is definitely the toughest guy here,” he says. Meanwhile, Zach is furious, and punches a hole in the already-wrecked gym door. “I can fucking beat him!” he laments. Later, when Zach has calmed down, he says, “I have so much fun out there. Even on a bad day like today, I enjoyed it.”
And it turns out to be a really bad day for him. His ragged, puffed-up eyes don’t just look bad — they’re pretty much ruined. After the fight, the doctor told him he tore both his retinas, and shouldn’t fight again because they can tear more easily in the future. Zach says he went through the bad times, fighting in parking lots for $100 — and now when things are starting to go good, it all falls apart. Poor bastard.
Ryan McGillivray is fighting Tony Ferguson next, and he’s using his daughter as motivation: “I don’t know how to make a good living to give her the things she deserves. But I found something I might be good at…I missed her birithday. And I might have to miss other things. And I hope she understands.”
Ryan McGillivray vs. Tony Ferguson
Round 1: They spend the opening moments trading jabs. Tony tries a body kick. Ryan comes in and gets countered hard with an uppercut/right-hand combo. For a second it looks like he’ll be able to stay on his feet, but then…no, he wilts to the mat. The ref jumps in immediately as Tony starts to throw down the finishing touches. At first it looks like an early stoppage, but Ryan is clearly in la-la land. Welcome to the semis, Tony.
After a rough early going for Team Lesnar, the Brock ‘N’ Roll Express (as I’ve taken to calling them, starting just now) makes up 75% of the semi-finals, with Chris Cope, Chuck, and Tony still in the bracket. The only Team Dos Santos member left in contention is Ramsey Nijem. The coaches feel that Ramsey and Tony are the best fighters out of the four, but Dana has a crush on Chuck, and Chris is a dark horse that keeps proving people wrong.
Dana announces the semi-final matchups. The first fight will be Ramsey Nijem vs. Chris Cope. As usual, Cope poses for the initial face-off with a wide, clownish grin on his face. “I can’t take you seriously, Ramsey,” he says. But Ramsey is dead-serious, maybe for the first time on the show. “You better,” he says.
The other semi-final pairing, of course, is Tony Ferguson vs. Chuck O’Neil. Chuck honestly looks a little spooked walking up to the faceoff. Tony says it sucks fighting a friend, but we’re gonna see some fireworks.
The night starts merrily enough — with Stripper Ramsey performing his one-man all-male revue on the pool table and getting alcohol sprayed on his dick, you know, normal dude stuff — but boy does it turn ugly fast. A friendly tussle between Tony and Charlie Rader flips a psycho-switch on Tony, who to this point has only been a well-dressed nice-guy. Tony tackles Charlie over a glass coffee table and then puts his forearm across Charlie’s face. The mood in the room turns dire. Charlie gets up and checks to see if they’re still playing around. “Are you being serious? Are you good?” he says. But Tony is not good; he’s seeing red for some reason. After some verbal tussling, Tony brings up Charlie’s son. (“Where’s your kid at?”) Wow, what an asshole. Tony then throws a stool, putting an exclamation point on his own dickishness.
Charlie is beside himself with anger and wants to throw down right then and there. A little later, Charlie’s in his bedroom fuming, and Tony comes in. The guys try to get Tony to apologize for the low-blow about Charlie’s son. Tony’s like “what?” The guys tell him how he brought up Charlie’s kid, and Tony’s like, “oh yeah…WHERE’S YOUR KID?” Unbelievable. Charlie tries to go after Tony but they’re both restrained by their teammates.
Now, Chuck is just fine with meeting Tony in the semis. “I have more than enough ammo…I’m beating him. I’m gonna take his dreams away, I guaran-damn-tee it. Or I will die trying.” Well alright. Now things are starting to get interesting…

Quinton Jackson made another appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last night and after watching the episode, it’s clear why “Rampage” gets more invites to appear on late night talk shows than pretty much any other fighter: he’s actually entertaining.
Sure, Chuck Liddell’s guest spot on Good Morning Texas a few years back had its moments and watching Kirstie Alley imagining Jon Jones as a pork chop during The Tonight Show a few months back was funny, if not somewhat cringeworthy, but Jackson always seems to bring his ‘A’ game when the cameras are rolling.

Last night was no exception.
From talking about the challenges of smack talking Matt Hammil ahead of UFC 130 this weekend to working as a bouncer at a Vietnamese bar, Rampage is a natural storyteller with a gift for spinning yarns about even his simplest of experiences.
The UFC should have paid him to teach some of its champions how to do an interview during the Fighter Summit.
