TUF Recap - 5/17

Here is The Ultimate Fighter TV show weekly recap:

Dana pulls BJ aside, nicely, and tells him that he needs to take control of his team and that he's heard they haven't been working enough cardio (imagine that, Penn not working enough cardio). Back at the house, Geraghty and Emerson score a keg and a hooka and party it up. At the gym, BJ has a brow beating with the team and is upset that they are not giving 100%. Suddenly he calls out Andy Wang and tells him he is wasting everyone's time and kicks him off the team. Wang doesn't want to leave the show. Dana gets called to the gym. Agrees they can't kick a fighter off the show for that reason. Dana asks Jens if he would take Wang on this team. Pulver consults with his team and they say they are cool is Andy joins the team. Dana give Andy the news but dipshit Wang says he feels like he is betraying BJ (what? BJ just kicked your dumb ass off of his team!?). Dana goes off on Wang and eventually Wang accepts his offer.

With both teams back at the gym, the remaing two fights are picked. Wayne Weems vs. Gray Maynard and Marlon Sims vs. Matt Winman. Weems ( 16-2) says he prides himself on being able to take a punch (careful what you ask for) and Gray (3-0) says he out classes Weems in every respect of fighting.

In the octagon, Gray lands a solid punch, takes Weems down and moves into side mount to half guard. Then takes his back and reigns down punchs to Weems head, about 30 of them. Herb Dean lets it go a little longer than normal because Weems tells him he is OK as he was getting smacked upside his head but he eventually stops the fight when its 100% clear that Weems is not going to get out of trouble and isn't defending himself. Pulver praised Weem's ability to improve drastically over the past few weeks and everyone agrees that the kid has heart, but in the end he was totally outclassed. Gray looked very good.

Marlon (3-1) vs. Winman: In the opening exchange they both land right hands to the head with Winman landing the better punch, staggering Marlon. Matt takes his back, throws a few punch, then chokes him unconscious. Even though Marlon gave Matt a black eye he was outclassed.

Winman and Maynard steamroll their opponents and advance to the semis with strong victories.
