TUF 13 Diary: Episode 8 Recap and Analysis

Sometimes I feel like a broken record when watching TUF. To be honest and I think I could speak for a big chunk of you Lowkickers out there, but the 13th season of The Ultimate Fighter reality TV show hasn’t wowed me. The only guy that really stood out for me was Team dos Santos member Ryan McGillivray. But other than him there hasn’t been a moment of brilliance on the show yet that has led me to believe that we have a bona fide Mixed Martial Arts superstar coming out of this show. TUF in the past

It’s been nearly a month since I started this diary and followed season thirteen of The Ultimate Fighter. From the four episodes I’ve seen so far, I just haven’t been personally entertained or impressed. We already knew prior to the airing of this series that coaches Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos have had little to no animosity towards each other. From conference calls to interviews, both men seem to have a mutual respect for each other.
Which is a refreshing change from previous TUF seasons, however

TUF 13 Diary: Episode 4 Recap and Analysis

The last episode of The Ultimate Fighter had Brock Lesnar explain to his team what a chicken s*** salad is, we saw a possible “trader” from Team Lesnar hang out with Team dos Santos, and a pretty exciting bout between Ryan McGillivray and Len Bentley. It ended with McGillivray getting the majority decision over Bentley. Team dos Santos is now 2-1 in the show and once again they earned the right to pick their next fight.
-JDS seemed to be in very good spirits after Ryan McGillivray’s victory
