The Ultimate Fighter report

By Frank Hyden

The 28 fighters enter the new UFC training facility. It looks like a pretty nice place. Dana White, Tito Ortiz, and Chuck Liddell enter the facility. They line the fighters up and Dana drops the f-bomb about a million times during his speech to them. His speech was basically about telling these guys to give it their all and to not leave anything in the cage, or else they'll regret it. Then the fights start.

FIGHT 1- Jamie Yager vs. Ben Stark- Jamie hits a highkick, then unleashes a barrage of kicks that floor Stark. Ben is knocked out. Wow, Jamie didn't even throw a damn punch. I like his afro hair, too, it's unique
WINNER- Jamie Yager by KO

FIGHT 2- Jordan Smith vs. Brad Tavares- They trade early, Brad clinches. Brad hits a big knee to Jordan's chin, then finishes him off with a smooth right.
WINNER- Brad Tavares by KO

FIGHT 3- Cleburn Walker vs. Kris McCray- McCray hits an early throw, which pops Cleburn's shoulder out of socket. Cleburn is forced to submit. That sucks, that's a damn shame.
WINNER- Kris McCray by Injury Stoppage

FIGHT 4- Norman Paraisy vs. James Hammortree- Norman gets the takedown early. James works his way on top, then into mount. James is just ground-and-pounding Norman into a pulp. The 1st round ends. Norman quits in between rounds. Nobody watching is happy. Norman had said that he was going to prove that French people aren't soft. I know not all French people are soft, but Norman sure as hell is. Way to want it. Chuck makes a few jokes about that being as bad as tapping out to strikes, which is what Tito did. The headgames begin.
WINNER- James Hammortree by Submission

FIGHT 5- Nick Ring vs. Woody Weatherby- They only show some quick highlights. Weatherby is forced to tap.
WINNER- Nick Ring by Submission

FIGHT 6- Kyle Noke vs. Warren Thompson- Again, only highlights are shown here. Warren gets a huge cut on his head, it's a real gusher that flows wide open. Kyle gets the decision
WINNER- Kyle Noke by Decision

FIGHT 7- Court McGee vs. Seth Baczynski- Highlights are shown. The fight goes 3 rounds. There was some decent action, with some big throws and nice punches being thrown. Court gets the decision
WINNER- Court McGee by Decision

FIGHT 8- Victor O'Donnell vs. Chris Camozzi- O'Donnell gets a slam, and Camozzi hits a big knee. These guys are trading like warriors. In the 2nd round, they keep on trading and slugging it out with huge punches. O'Donnell gets another takedown. They go to the 3rd round, and these guys keep right on slugging it out. These guys are nuts. O'Donnell gets a slam, Camozzi gets a throw, and the round ends. Chris gets the decision. I don't know if I agree with that, but I didn't see the whole fight. From what I saw, though, I think O'Donnell won the fight. Both guys deserve to be in the house, to be honest.
WINNER- Chis Camozzi by Decision

FIGHT 9- Kyacey Oscola vs. Brent Cooper- Uscola has a pretty terrible 18-15 record, but he says that he took a lot of fights that he shouldn't have. These guys are also trading, Uscola gets the knockout with a sweet right hook.
WINNER- Kyacey Oscola by KO

FIGHT 10- Joe Henle vs. Costantinos Philipou- Henle's the guy with the wild beard and hair. They show highlights of Henle grabbing an armbar for the win. He wants to be announced as Leonidas. His hair's too long for that, but right on.
WINNER- Joe Henle by Submission

FIGHT 11- Rich Attonito vs. Lyle Steffens- Again, just highlights. This fight looked boring anyway. Rich wins the decision
WINNER- Rich Attonito by Decision

FIGHT 12- Josh Bryant vs. Greg Rebello- More highlights, another boring looking fight. Josh gets the decision.
WINNER- Josh Bryant by Decision

FIGHT 13- Jacen Flynn vs. Charles Blanchard- The doctor has to stop this fight after Jacen gets too bad of a cut. Charles looks to be a really good wrestler.
WINNER- Charles Blanchard by Doctor Stoppage

FIGHT 14- Charley Lynch vs. Clayton McKinney- Clayton gets a takedown, but isn't able to do much. They stand and separate. Clayton clinches, and works his way to a throw. They start trading, and Clayton is throwing bombs. Clayton is rocking Charley with power shots, but Charley just takes them. Charley's nose is horribly, horribly broken. It's in different places on his face. That thing is grotesque. Charley's still fighting, though. The referee just needs to step in and stop this. Clayton drops Charley with another big shot, and the ref stops it. Upon further inspection, Charley's nose looks even worse. That's the worst broken nose I've ever seen. Not even Rich Franklin's broken nose courtesy of Anderson Silva's knee was this bad. A large part of Charley's nose is sunken in. That's just nasty.

Well, this first episode was plenty exciting. We'll see if future episodes are this good. So far, this season is off to a great start, I hope it keeps up. Any comments or suggestions can be e-mailed to me at hydenfrank@gmail.com
