The episode starts with a Team Dos Santos training session. Zach Davis is fighting Chuck O'Neil, a rematch that Zach won the first time. Junior Dos Santos think Zach should take Chuck to the ground and submit him again.

Chuck plans on giving half of his $5,000 win bonus from his last fight to Charlie Rader. Charlie has family issues and hasn't seen his son in a year and a half. That's some BS there, that's way too long. Charlie doesn't want to take the money. Brock Lesnar talks with Chuck about how to approach the upcoming fight. Brock says there's nothing pretty about the fight game. Chuck plans on striking fast and hard. He says the real him will be in this fight. Looks like we're jumping straight to the fight. Both guys are ready to go.

Chuck is 1 inch taller. The reach is the same. Steve Mazzagatti is the referee.

ROUND 1- Chuck starts swinging early. He's super aggressive here. Zach pushes Chuck against the cage and scores with a knee to the body. They trade knees.

Zach lands a few leg kicks, but Chuck has power in his shots. Zach pushes Chuck against the cage again. Knee to the body by Chuck. Zach grabs a leg, but Chuck's punches make him give it up. They separate for a second before Zach gets tagged and pushes Chuck against the cage. They separate, and Chuck pushes the pace. Chuck is punishing Zach, who's bloodied. No question about that, Chuck wins the round.

ROUND 2- Chuck gets Zach to the ground with a leg kick, sort of like a trip actually. Chuck is in full guard for a second before making Zach get up. Zach is bleeding around his eye. Chuck is starting to pick him apart now. Zach pushes Chuck up against the cage. Zach tries for a double, but Chuck fights it. Zach falls onto his back and Chuck is on top. Chuck stands, forcing Zach to stand also. Zach tries for another takedown, but Chuck stands out of it. Chuck is really listening to Brock's words. They're on the cage again.

Zach just didn't do enough. Chuck was the aggressor and took over. Zach did good to not get knocked out.

WINNER- Chuck O'Neil by Decision.

Zach is disappointed in himself. That's understandable. Chuck is very happy. Zach's face is cut up and bruised. On to the next fight, though. Tony Ferguson is fighting Ryan McGillivray. Brock is coaching Tony to avoid trying to be too flashy and just concentrate on winning.

Chuck talks about how tough Zach. Zach comes home from the doctor. His eyes are really messed up. Both retinas were torn. Damn. If he keeps fighting he might go blind. Zach has to stop fighting. Man, that sucks. Chuck apologizes. Zach talks about how he's fought in a parking lot, or in dive bars for no money. That's some BS for him. What a way to have to retire.

Ryan says he's a more complete fighter than Tony. Ryan is underestimated by everyone in the house, and he likes it that way. I likes Ryan's attitude, he doesn't talk a bunch of trash about how great he is. I always like those kind of guys. Ryan tears up while talking about his daughter. He writes her about why he fights. He wants to be able to give her the life he says she deserves. He hopes she understands why he has to miss events in her life sometimes. I'm sure she will. Tony was picked on as a kid and used sports as a way to gain confidence.

FIGHT- Tony Ferguson vs. Ryan McGillivray
The height is the same, but Tony has a 4 inch reach advantage. Josh Rosenthal is the referee.

ROUND 1- They start tentative. Tony with a leg kick. Tony rocks Ryan with a powerful uppercut. Tony jumps on him and finishes it. Wow, nice power.

WINNER- Tony Ferguson by KO

Ryan just got caught, it happens. Ryan is extremely upset with himself. Junior consoles him with some nice words. Ramsey Nijem is the only Team Dos Santos fighter left. Dana White comes and announces the semifinals. The match ups will be Ramsey Nijem vs. Chris Cope and Tony Ferguson vs. Chuck O'Neil. Teammates fighting each other is always a bit weird, but it's business.

Back at the house, the guys are drinking. That's never good. Ramsey jumps on a table and starts stripping. Ugh. Tony has a drink poured on him and flips out. Charlie was the one who poured the drink on Tony. Charlie wants to shake hands, but Tony is yelling at him and going crazy. Tony starts asking Charlie, "Where's your kid at?", which pisses Charlie off big time. Tony is acting like a f'ing lunatic. The rest of the guys in the house all say they lost respect for Tony. Chuck is trying to play peacemaker when Tony starts in with the "Where's your son?" to Charlie. Chuck says he's going to take Tony's dreams away.

It's weird how Tony went from normal guy to total dickhead mode just because of some alcohol. He should never drink again. He seems like a fairly good fighter, but he also came off like a total douche. Everyone makes mistakes, though, and I want to see how he responds next week.

NEXT WEEK- Tony faces the consequences of his words, and 2 fights
