We start with the teams coming back to the house. The guys all split off into their groups. Akira Corassani complains about Bryan Caraway fussing with his hair so much. Akira shaves part of Bryan's hair at night. What a dick move. What is this, Jackass? Who cares if the guy messes with his hair a lot?

Jason "Mayhem" Miller rides a bike to the gym since he heard that Tiki was planning a prank on his car. Nice. Team Mayhem is training while Michael Bisping comes screaming into the parking lot in his car. Bisping and Tiki start talking to Team Mayhem, setting them up for the prank.

Bisping has a fire extinguisher and the whole place is filled. Then a Mariachi band starts playing. They even spray the cameramen. Not bad, but not great. This prank gets maybe a C+, they just tried too hard. Mayhem gives them a hand so at least there's that. Johnny Bedford wasn't happy at all. Some of the other guys run around the parking lot. Dennis Bermudez says some weird stuff. Seems harmless, but a bit odd. Akira posts a note on the wall about Dennis and his lack of intelligence. Akira also says he's smarter than everyone else in the house. How about being more mature than everyone else? You're definitely not that.

Bisping wants Akira to work on his Jiu-Jitsu. Bisping is having Akira work on standing up from his back, while a guy is on top of him. Bisping says it's hard, but very effective. Akira's not doing too well, but that's the point. Akira calls out the lay-and-pray approach, that's the first thing he's said I agreed with. Bisping is pushing Akira very hard. Marcus Brimage jumps on Bisping's back and shoves a jock in his face. That's disgusting. Bisping wraps the jock around Akira's neck.

Saving Private Ryan is on TNT right now. That's my favorite war movie of all time. The first 30 minutes or so are so awesome. Back to the show, Bisping comes over to the house. He gathers his team. Bisping and Tiki start spraying the team with silly string or something,

Members of Team Bisping try to ignore Akira's drawings. Dennis says he plans on hurting Akira and using that to send his message. Mayhem brings in Siyar, a fighter that trained Akira. Dennis is working on his wrestling and takedowns, followed by his stand-up.

Skyrim comes out Friday. That game is going to be one of the best games ever. The strategy guide for it is 656 pages, if that tells you something. It's going to be a long game. Anyway, Akira is singing about beating Dennis. In my opinion, Akira has a good voice. I'm no singing expert, though. The weigh-in goes uneventfully. Dana White says that's impressed with Dennis. He says that Akira may have bit off more than he can chew. Akira says he's going to knock Dennis out. Dennis says there's no way Akira can stop him.

FIGHT- Dennis Bermudez vs. Akira Corassani
Akira is 2 inches taller and has a 1.5 inch reach advantage. Herb Dean is the referee.

ROUND 1- Akira clips Dennis with a left hand, but Dennis recovers. Dennis pushes Akira into the cage, but Akira immediately reverses. They separate. Dennis lunges forward wildly. They trade wild punches. Akira drops Dennis again. Dennis lands a solid right to Akira's chin. Both guys are swinging. Dennis grabs a leg, but Akira resists. Dennis picks up Akira and slams him. We get a good shot of Akira's bald spot, that's why he wears the hat. I'd wear it too. Either that or shave your head. A hat's a lot easier than shaving your head. Dennis locks in a guillotine and Akira has to tap.

WINNER- Dennis Bermudez by Guillotine

Bisping is disapponted, but gives credit to Dennis. Akira didn't even realize he lost. Damn, he was really out of it. Bisping grabbed him and told him. Dennis says Akira hits very hard. That was obvious from the fight, Dennis damn near got knocked out a few times. It was a pretty good fight. A bit sloppy from Dennis, but nice submission from him.

NEXT WEEK- The Coaches Challenge is air hockey, plus another fight
