The Ultimate Fighter Recap

Here is your 361 word recap of last night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV. During training, Wayne Weems of Team Pulver is exposed for being the weakest fighter on the team. His stand-up and ground games are far below the other competitors. Gabe of Team Penn asks BJ if he can fight Weems. Rob Emerson catches wind of this and calls Gabe out in the house saying it was a shady move on his behalf. Brandon Melendez nurses a sore ankle and Jens will have nothing to do with it and pushed Brandon to pick up his training. Bandon is also 15lbs over weight. Brandon steps up and loses his 15lbs and chooses to fight Andy Wang. Meanwhile back in the house, Marlon Sims claims that he has had over 300 street fights. Most of the other fighters call bullshit on him. He also claims to have taken on 7 guys at one time, a la Steven Segal. Come fight day Melendez looks noticeable bigger than his opponent in the ring. That 15lbs he shed look to have been put right back on. Before the fight, Andy Wang (black belt in Jiu-Jitsu) tells BJ that he will obey his advice and try to take the fight to the ground. In the ring it is a different story. Melendez foreshadows the match with an early left punch that temporarily puts Andy on his ass. Melendez looks sharp on his feet connecting with many of his strikes. Wang tries to stand with Brandon but Brandon repeatedly beats him to the punch and is more accurate. Melendez could have probably been more aggressive and gotten the KO, but dominates and scores the unanimous decision. Wang only attempted one takedown and wasn't able to bring Brandon down. Wang felt he had to KO Brandon in order to get the win. Bad strategy as he should have listened to BJ who was screaming "take him down" the entire fight. After the fight Wang cries, a lot. I haven't seen a fighter cry for as long and so loud. I was embarrassed for him. Wang says he is sad for letting everyone down. Penn Has no sympathy because Wang didn't try to use his superior ground skills to win the fight.
