The Ultimate Fighter 7 recap - episode 5

After a hard fought bout that was as exciting on the ground as it was on the feet, Matthew Riddle succumbed to a Tim Credeur arm bar in round 2.
We open episode 3 with Team Forrest still in control, and Rampage Jackson’s frustration has seemingly increased.
“No doubt about it, Matt Riddle has made me a better fighter. Warrior-to-Warrior, I appreciate that.”
After the Credeur/Riddle fight, Credeur shows a touch of class by offering to buy Matt Riddle an XBOX 360 with his 10,000 dollar fight purse.
“I have been fighting for a long time and you are one of the toughest kids I have ever fought. I owe you an XBOX, I’ll buy it for you.”
Looks like there are no losers in this fight.
In the previous 4 episodes, we have seen Jeremy May make potshots at some of the other fighters on the show. I noticed this around episode 2, and it seems as if the producers are setting us up for some type of showdown or rivalry.
They also do a good job of showing clips of his pompous attitude.
“This house bores you so bad. I definitely miss having sex like 2/3x a day. But hey when I get back I might break my girlfriends back, you know.”
Back at training camp, Quinton Jackson brings one of his training partners, and TUF winner, Michael Bisping. Bisping spars and rolls with the guys, and will provide some inspiration for the team.
“Don’t slack with your training, don’t get drunk at the house. Eat right, get your sleep in. Everything I didn’t do.” Says Bisping, jokingly.
This is a pretty smart move on Rampage’s part; hopefully it will help secure a win for his team.
After training at the TUF gym, Jeremy May is up to his usual antics at the Ultimate Fighter house. He manages to really aggravate Matt Brown and sets up another potential feud. The Dante/Riddle feud didn’t materialize into anything, so watch and see if this turn of events morphs into the first grudge match of the season.
The Ultimate Fighter airs on SpikeTV Wednesdays at 10PM/EST. Tune in to see who is fighting and who comes out on top in episode 5.
