Fantasy TUF 8: Episode 3

Well that was a crazy night. First we find out that (Team Maria's) Karen Grigoryan and (Team Jen's) Brian McLaughlin have fractured noses and can not continue. I did not plan for this. So, if no one has a problem with this, Maria and Jen can each pick one of the undrafted fighters that are available if they want to drop their injured fighter. Just let me know which one you want. Here are the undrafted fighters that are available:

LW George Roop
LW Rolando Delgado
LHW Jules Bruchez
LHW Kyle Kingsbury

Once the injuries were dealt with the coaches made their pics. The first fight of the quarterfinals was Team Nogueira's (Team Jen's) Ryan Bader vs Team Mir's (Team Brandon's) Tom Lawlor.
Both fighters exchange a few punches and knees, but an over-aggrressive Tom gets taken down when Ryan ducks under a combination. Ryan relaxes while in half-guard, and again scores with right hands and short elbows. Ryan briefly stands, and a lunging guard pass brings a heavy right hand with it, knocking Tom unconscious with a little over a minute left in the first round. So Ryan Bader moves on to the Semi-Finals and Tom Lawlor is eliminated. Here are the TUF8 Fantasy Scores after Episode 3:

Brandon: 0
CJ: 1
Jen: 11
Jon: 0
Maria: 0
Roxanne: 0
Steve: 1
Undrafted: 1

Maria and Jen, Let me know if you want to swap your injured fighter with one of the undrafted fighters.
Jon
