TUF 10 Blog Episode 7: Darrill Schoonover

Rashad and Rampage really do hate each other...

I don't understand why when there is drama in the house McSweeney always seems to be in the middle of it. I believe it was the second episode when he got in an argument with Rampage, during his confessional he stated that he is not the guy to cause drama but yet he is always involved in all of the drama at the house. He even made a calendar of when Matt was going to crack. In every episode he is running to the Rashad or the rest of the coaches to rat on everyone else.

As for Matt and John... during sparing... yes, it is sparing, but there is no excuse for quitting practice just because you are getting your ass whooped. But I also don't agree with Matt talking back to the coaches and being disrespectful, especially when the argument started over orange juice. Are you guys serious?! We got everything for free, food, drinks, supplements, you name it. As for the letter... I found it very messed up to write about someone being scared about someone else. We were all there to fight and Mike was not scared to fight anyone. If anything he was ready to fight anyone who got in the cage with him.

Wes Sims is too funny. During his Ninja escapade we were all sitting down by the jacuzzi laughing our ass off.

Finally the fight... While I was watching it cage-side I saw it more exciting than on TV. I knew from the beginning that it was not going to be a technical fight, but i knew the fans would enjoy watching two big guys in front of each other trading hits.


Watching it on TV it was a horrible fight. Both of them were gassed after two minutes. After a while they were both just standing there breathing heavy. Trying to punch each other but both had no energy or power behind their hits. Matt could have ended the fight couple of times but didn't. But the judges still gave him the fight. I agreed with the judges.

And once again Rampage threw his weekly fit. Destroying a cardboard door. That was funny... A 12-year-old girl could have done the same thing.

Its hard to get HW's in actual fighting shape in a week and it causes cardio issues and sloppy fights. I do feel a lot of these cardio problems were pre-existing, but then add in the lack of training time with people who are football players that are just starting out in MMA, and this is what you get. However I do feel that the finale on Spike could be OK, once these guys have time to address the problems in their game and have the actual time to work on, and fix them As far as the fights on the show go, I didn't have high expectations going in and I have seen nothing so far to make me change that yet. Hopefully the Semi's will be better. Thom: Thanks for the insight Darrill as always. Love that gif :) mmablaster: Thanks for the blog. Entertaining season. Wandering_Minstrel: Hopefully without sounding too cliche, we always get the best fighters at the end, and I have high hopes that the semis will be impressive. Giada Esposito: I'm surprised by didn't say anything about Rampage grabbing his titty last night. :D JujitsWho: Damn you thread jackin mofo!! lol HackBennys: I knew it was a cardboard door....
