Last we saw the UK fighters on weight, relatively disease free, and ready to fight. This weeks episode featured the US fighters who were not so ready. (Also apparantly the "official" fighter list released by the UFC may not have been accurate. I will try to figure out something to fix this). The episode starts with (Team Roy's) Jason Pierce passing out during Dan White's "Do You Want to be a Fucking Fighter" speech. The next Team US setback comes in the medical evaluation process, as (Undrafted) John-David Shackelford is sporting a sizable herpes lesion on his forehead (how does that even happen?) and he gets the boot. Next, (Team Steve's) Christian Fulgium is unable to make weight and quits the show, which costs Team Steve 5pts. With Fulgium and Shackelford already gone, the episode will carry on with just six elimination bouts. White warns the two fighters left without opponents not to get too comfortable, new fighters will be on the way. With all the drama over it is now fight time.
-(Team Maria's) Mark Miller def. (Team CJ's) Kevin Knabjian via TKO (punches) in Round 2 for 9pts.
-(Team Roy's) Jason Pierce def. (Undrafted) Steve Berger by decision for 7pts.
-(Team Dan's) Damarques Johnson def. (Team Dan's) Ray Elbe via TKO (punches) in Round 1 for 10pts.
-(Team Maria's) Richie Whitson def. (Team Jen's) Paul Bird via submission (rear-naked choke) in Round 1 for 10pts.
-(Team Alli & Mike's) Santino Defranco def. (Team Maria's) Waylon Lowe via submission (rear-naked choke) in Round 2 for 9pts.
-(Team Tommy's) Cameron Dollar def. (Team Dan's) Tom Hayden via submission (rear-naked choke) in Round 2 for 9pts.
-Also, Team Alli & Mike, Team Dan, Team Maria, Team Roy, and Team Steve get 6pts for having Dan Henderson as their coach.
That leaves us with two more prelim fights on next week's episode. It also leaves Team Steve with no fighters, and Team Roxanne and Team Tommy both had fighters that for whatever reason were not on the show. I will try to come up with some kind of solution this afternoon.
