Ultimate Fighter Thoughts: Season 10, Episode 6

This show is getting less likable for me every week. Probably because the individuals featured are becoming less likable. Except for Rashad and Marcus.

Can't really write much due to a busy schedule this week, but let's just leave it at another win for Rashad, another poor performance by Team Rampage, more silly jokes by Rampage alluding to Schoonover's chest, and two fighters with tons of baggage.

At least it started off somewhat competitively between both guys, but when Zak got kneed and then used his face for a focus mitt, it signaled the beginning of the end. There is really no reason he couldn't have gotten outta that triangle if he knew the first thing about a good defense. Applying pressure downward is just going to help the guy pull you in, adjust his leg lock and snuff you out. Stupid.

Zak comes off as a pushover in this episode. Sure, he's Wes Sims' whipping boy (why is Sims still talking?), but it's not like he's doing anything to help himself. Schoonover comes off like a borderline headcase between his drinking, scary tattoo and going head-to-head against Rampage. Some people will say he's standing up for himself. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened as DeMarques Johnson got in Michael Bisping's face last season, but there's something scary about Schoonover and his demeanor. He doesn't seem like the nerdy guy in the first episode who got railed by Rampage for his chest.

The jokes are getting stupider and stupider. Jackson and company should spend more time coaching and less time flexing their artistic chops and graffiti skills.

But the ever-polarizing Kimbo is the one who loses the most face in this episode. He's shown jumping for joy when Zak gets cut open. Way to be a team player. Stay classy, Kimbo.

What the hell kinda nickname is "Linderman," anyway?

Well, we have four fighters left. Mike Wessel and Matt Mitrione for Team Rashad, and Marcus Jones and Scott Junk for Team Rampage. It looks like we'll have both first round fights next week... I predict it'll be Wessel vs. Junk and Mitrione vs. Jones, with Wessel and Junk pulling off the exciting fight they're promoting.

I hope next week is more fight-driven. I'm really beginning to dislike these people.
