The Ultimate Fighter 8: Episode 2 Preview

September
24

The episode begins by giving us a recap of who won bouts in the first episode.

“We have eight guys now who have earned their spots. Now we are moving on with the other fights, lets see what happens with the next eight”, says Dana White.

Wasting no time, we get right into the bouts. All of the bouts are exciting, and most of them come to a decisive finish. We get a little insight into the personalities of some of the winners, but most of the episode was reserved for the qualification fights.

Frank Mir brings up an interesting point during the show, a testament to the talent competing this season:

“There are some guys that are losing that I would pick before guys that are winning”

It’s interesting that a lot of the fighters on the show have such great grappling skills, considering that both coaches are some of the best submission fighters in the game.

I am looking forward to this season of The Ultimate Fighter; the level of competition has really seemed to surpass some previous seasons.
