TUF 17, Ep. 8 Benefits and Recap: The Wild-Card Pick Becomes a Huge Grudge Fit

The Best Fighter 17Areally does not have any "gimme" matches, although it is been said before. With some amazingly competitive preliminary fights now in the books, Team Sonnen has five competitors moving onto another class, while Team Jones only has three entrants. Nevertheless, Dylan Andrews prevented Sonnen's "bad guys" from having an edge, as he surged back from a near-defeat condition to absolutely take over Zak Cummings in two times. (Read theAfull episode play-by-play here.) a Dylan was not the poor fighter on paper starting this match, but he came damn near losing. After while eating elbows to the side of his mind getting labeled on the legs early by Zak, he generally curled up right into a ball. Referee Herb Dean really could've stopped it if he wanted to, but it requires two people in order to complete. Zak just didn't pour on enough harm to seal an early gain. a Still, Dylan paid for the lapse in reasoning with an awful head wound. You've got to wonder if that cut's likely to get back to haunt him afterwards in the competition. a what was really shocking was the energy transfer. As soon as Zak modified position from side get a handle on and accidentally got put on his straight back, it was all Dylan, who managed Zak on the pad and put down sufficient ground-and-pound to keep the fight from addressing the legs. a Even in the 2nd round, it had been just a little alarming to see Dylan neatly simply take Zak off his feet with a bigAtakedown, even eating huge blows in the initial few seconds. But with the way the remaining round turned outa'elbows, blows, tight grappling controla'that's about the most readily useful argument I've observed for a 10-8 round to date. It absolutely was surprising to observe that your choice report was not unanimous, though. Regardless, here's how the lineup stands with Dylan's win over Zak. Staff Jones: 1. Clint Hester (7-3 )2.AJoshASammanA( 9-2 )3.ARobert "Bubba" McDaniel (20-6 )A( Wild Card )4.AGilbert Smith Jr. (5-1 )5.ACollin Hart (4-1-1 )6.AAdamACellaA( 4-0 )7.ADylan Andrews (16-4-1) TeamASonnen: 1. LukeABarnattA( 5-0 )2. Uriah Hall (7-2 )3. Zak Cummings )4 to (15-3. TorATroengA( 15-4-1 )5. Jimmy Quinlan )6 to (3-0. Kevin Casey (5-2 )A( Wild Card )7. KelvinAGastelumA( 5-0) (Note: Winners are in striking, losers are scratched off the list and another opponents' names are in italics.) a In this author's opinion, Bubba McDaniel actually didn't deserve the wild-card pick over Clint Hester. Kelvin Gastelum made Bubba seem like he didn't belong in the exact same cage, while Hester looked like he just needed an extra week of training on takedown safety. a Regrettably for Hester, Bubba and Jon Jones have a teammate connection at Greg Jackson's MMA, so it made the pick pretty obvious. Still, it'll make for a good event in a few days because Bubba eventually gets the dance time with Kevin Casey he was crying about a couple of weeks earlier. a Chael Sonnen is simply great at everything, right? Preventing, discourse, self-promotion, bowling, driving structure rigsa'he's just like a jack of all trades. Well, except at politics. Oh, and distribution protection. a all kidding aside, that has been probably among the more interesting instructors' challenges however. It is very interesting that Jones has trouble driving even though he's sober. However, that has been much better than the typical sports activities the show forces, where one coach is unfairly better than another. Perhaps next season, they could do something more out of left field, like pace chess or perhaps a dog show.
