Episode five starts out with another look at Blake and Richie’s fight and unfortunately it hasn’t gotten any prettier with age. Afterwards Mac tells Blake he’s not a real fighter and also refers to Richie as “a little turd”.
Speaking of things that need to be flushed, we get to relive the Andy Wang experiment from season five as the guys settle in at the house for the TUF 5 finale. Andy eats a huge kick from opponent Cole Miller just as we learn that Mac and Andy are as close as brothers.
Andy goes to sleep and Mac cries foul. He rants about a bogus stoppage and even goes so far as to call Andy a real fighter who can take a shot.
It’s hard to give Mac any credibility when he praises Wang yet shits on Blake and Richie in the same breath. That’s a package deal as far as I’m concerned.
During a Hughes training session Jared gets pegged to challenge George. Forgetting just how many people will be watching come October, Jared looks straight into the camera and says “Georgie-poo is my target for extermination“.
Coach Hughes makes a surprise visit at the house and with him is a cell phone for Paul to call home. It’s nothing short of ominous when they bring you a phone in a house that forbids any phone calls.
As expected, Paul has a death in the family (cousin) and he must now decide to stay or go. Dana actually makes an exception and allows him to fly home for the wake - so long as he agrees to fight before he leaves.
Hughes has to scrap his original fight and gives Paul a choice between Jon and Troy. He leans towards Jon but ends up with Troy at the fight pick.
Paul pimps his takedowns and jiu-jitsu while Troy talks about his friendship with fellow Hawaiian BJ Penn and how great a singer he is. On paper this is your standard striker vs. grappler.
Back at the house Mac shows his tender side by saving a drowning bee from the pool. He then moves inside to let the local houseflies crawl all over him (who he claims are more hygienic than most of his housemates). I’m sure somewhere up in Heaven David Hedison is nodding in approval.
Meanwhile, Blake starts to unravel over Mac’s name calling and takes out his anger on some unsuspecting dishes. Instead of breaking them or throwing them across the room like many men of anger would do, he thoroughly washes and dries them.
If this is how Blake handles personal attacks, then I sincerely hope he reads my recap of episode four. It was pasta night at the Holland’s and my sink is in dire need of attention.
We get another Mac attack and this time he’s better than everyone else in the house because he’s been in this game for seven years and paid his dues and blah blah blah. If you’ve been fighting for seven years and the farthest you’ve gotten is a reality show with some people off the street, then perhaps you need to look inside yourself and not at the other fighters.
As if we needed further proof of his tribulations, Mac reminisces about the time he drove from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles with $200 dollars in his pocket. That is impressive considering the trip is about 2,800 miles. He either gets 200 miles to the gallon or he didn’t stop for food.
Hughes tries to rally the troops and call out Mac for all the Blake bashing. Ever the optimist, Hughes hopes Mac will apologize back at the house. I guess Hughes doesn’t know Mac as well as he thought he did.
Troy and the gang decide it’s clobbering time and go fly hunting in the kitchen. Troy does a very tasteless Steve Irwin impression as he stalks them throughout the house. Before I can get too annoyed he redeems himself by creating an exact replica of Mac’s head using a water jug and a Sharpie.
It’s fight day (finally) and Troy shows up wearing a lampshade on his head. Round one begins with a nice leg kick from Paul. Troy answers with a punch. Paul jumps into guard and works for a submission.
Troy moves slowly but is following his corners advice. Paul almost secures a kimura. Troy has trouble doing any damage from the top but manages to get to his feet. Inexplicably Paul joins him and they trade a few blows.
Troy delivers a crushing right and Paul goes limp. Troy wins by KO. Mr. Sensitive Matt Hughes makes sure he berates Paul’s strategy as he’s regaining consciousness. Serra offers him some encouragement and gives him a pat on the back.
Despite Paul’s bad news, this was a pretty uneventful episode. The fight was fairly good but I’m anxious to see some of the favorites get in there and mix it up.
Stay tuned next week as Hughes is livid that he’s one loss away from losing fight control and the boys become punching bags/grappling dummies during training.
See you then!

I heard this episode is gonna be the best one yet and that the fight is gonna be pretty good.
First post?
Well this fight has to be better than last weeks. Blake Bowman against Ritchie Hightower? How can either one of those guys be in the second round?
I love it how Matt asked how old Paul’s cousin was, and he said 16, 17 18, 19.
Could this be a Johnny Fairplay type of move?
Mac = angry hippie!
So sick of the Jennifer Lopez commercial ..
I am glad I was not the only one who was happy that Andy Wang lost.
GEEZE.
I like Mac as a fighter, but he is a little weird, but hey he looks normal compared to Luke Cummo.
I had been pulling for Mac at the beginning but he seems a bit bi-polar. I loved the Mac Danzig effigy and the kung fu beat down.
Is it just me or did previous seasons do a better job at introducing the fighters? I feel like I know Mac, Joey and Bowman and thats it.
mac is a jerkoff. Obviously he cares more about whats going on around him that why he is there. I like the fact that Serra’s team is destroying hughes’ team but at the same time it looks like Hughes’ best fighters are the last 3 he’s got. By the looks of next weeks episode i’m gonna take an early stance and suggest that Hughes probably shouldn’t keep kicking the shit out of his fighters by sparring with them.
Do you guys honestly think Serra could beat 80% of the contestants in the house? B/c i know Hughes could
i would hope that the 2 coaches could beat 80% of the fighters. i would hope that they could beat all of them.

I agree, Matt is old school that was the mentality back then and probably still is for lots of wrestling programs… the mentality is the more you get your ass kicked the better you get.
Personally I believe it tears down fighters… it’s okay to roll with someone 1 or maybe 2 notches above you… but taking a beating from someone way above you does nothing but tear you down.
I like Serra’s style of coaching, he’s working with his fighters as individuals, he earns their respect on different levels.
I think Matt Hughes is about one loss away from going postal! I love it!
Hey, Jessie, I just read your reply to my post regarding episode 4. I guess what I’m saying is that I really like MMA, and yes, some of the fights are quick (like tonight’s fight…again). But I also like the story lines. Its building up to something. Like the story develoment of Mac. You can’t tell me that you aren’t praying for a Mac versus Richie fight. I didn’t mean to rag on you. I say this because I visit ufcmania at least twice a day, compared to once or twice a week for the official ufc website. I really do like this site. It just made me upset because I thought you might like the Ultimate Fighter simply because the whole premise of it is amazing. Dana has a real winner in this show. In actuality, I was kind of bored with the challenges in season 1. I always thought they were kind of silly. Anyway, keep up the good work. And please tell Violentmike to quit being such a butt smooch.

the only thing i found eventful on this episode was mr. greatest-welterweight-of-all-time berating paul for standing for 5 seconds and not following the gameplan. hello, you’ll have to excuse paul for not quite following the gameplan thanks perhaps in large part because [i]hi fucking cousin just died[/i]. meanwhile serra, showing some class, gives paul repeated words of encouragment. hughes is really starting to look terrible…from his little bible study thing, to his attacks on serra’s coaching ability because scarola pussed out, to treating paul like shit post-fight because his ego is getting tko’d every week. i’m starting to wonder if his ego just may get the better of him come 12/29.
*his
i just laughed my ass off throughout that entire recap, funny as hell…

I think Hughes could beat them all, but I think Serra might get into some trouble with a couple of the top guys like Danzig.
I’m thinking there isn’t anyone in the house that would give hughes a hard time….but thats the way it’s suppose to be isn’t it?
Mac is a hater and bitter, probably had nothing handed to him in society and is struggling for everything he earns. Blake got in his sights… I enjoy the way Mac approaches it though, nice and calm like… if he doesnt make enough $$$ in MMA he could make some $$$ being a hitman on the side.
“Blakes heart is a fighter but his body screams for a pencil and desk”…LMAO.
Serra’s guys cracked me up, using a milk jug for Mac’s head, that was hilarious!
Troy was funny and my favorite guy in that house… he almost started full on crying in that interview… glad he didn’t and hope he doesn’t in the future, it was just an interview.
Paul had some bad news glad he got a fight in, guy hung in there until he got KO’d. I don’t think he has much of a career in MMA… good thing he’s going to be an engineer. He reminds me of a obscure actor…Michael Rapaport.
Why is Serra so obsesed with Hughes. Like his life revolves around hating him. I think he has a man crush on him. Everything he sais ties in Hughes somehow. Hughes never really did anyhtying to Serra for him to talk shit about Hughes nonstop. I think many people who dislike hughes are starting to dislike serra even more. I know I am changing my mind about him. He is the ultimate dushbag.. I got a great drinking game for everyone…..take a shot everytime Serra sais “Breath,…Breath” while he cornering a figter during the show. “Don’t forget to Breath” damn I can hear that voice slicing through my brain right now. I hope Hughes takes him down and beats him down but very slowly
Mac is the man
SAVE INSECTS!
Gimme a UFCMania shirt guys!
hey guys, did anyone else think the same thing as I did when hughes said, it was not the gameplan for him to go in and strike with troy? Something like, Oh I guess hughes never saw UFC 65 where some short wrestler got his jaw broken by taller, faster canadian because he never attempted a take down. hmmmmmmm irony is a beautiful thing.
I hope this doesnt come across as too petty of a strategy, but I think considering Mac only eats vegan food, and is one of the biggest stepping stones in the house, why didnt all the team serra guys eat him out of supplies, then he would be weak for his fights.
Mac is one of my faves to win but he is a self righteous ass. I hate him the more I watch the show. He is just mad that after 7 years of rolling and fighting these little shows his fighting highlight is this show and Hightower and Bowman have gotten to where they are at in a year or 2. Unfortunatly for Mac, what he failes to realize is that the sport has completely evolved,changed, and blown up allowing people to get to a higher levels much faster. Bowman and hightower obviously earned there spots on the show at the tryouts, they must have done well and impressed the judges. What gives him the right to judge fighters, espercially after supporting that “dead beat I am not going to listen and fight my own fight because I know it all, the last samurai warrior Andy Wang,” what a waste of an MMA card and space that guy was, huh. Funny thing is MAc is man enough to call Bowman a stupid hick redneck, Why not Hughes or Lawler? They are about as redneck as it gets. Hell Hughes still works a farm!
Next Hughes has got balls! What kind of coach shits on there fighters or team that way. There is no encouragment what so ever. A coach has to give positives for all the negatives. Hughes is starting to remind me more and more of Shamrock. The more episodes that past the more I think he is there for himself and because of Serra. I do not think it is going to happen but I really hope Serra Beats Hughes.
Wow as far as the Paul and Troy fight…In the immortal words of Chris Tucker as Smokey, “Paul YOU GOT KNOCKED THE F*!K OUT!” I think the last real knock out like that was CRop Cop Gonzaga. PAul was out before Troy’s hand finished following through on that punch. His body just went limp and he crumbled. Props to Troy for coming out with the Rayden hat, was waiting for the lighting and for the end of the fight “TROY WINS!” in my best Mortal Combat announcer voice.
I got no problem with Mac speaking his mind. I think half the fighters in that house are a joke. I think what Dana needs to do is to start taking fighter’s who aren’t so green. Fighters who could be in the UFC without the show. That way the true best of the best fighters emerge and I think it makes a more interesting show. I happen to be a fan of season four the comeback because all of those guys were real fighters.
On another note, Paul didn’t make me believe that he was all that close with his cousin. I’m sorry for his loss but I think he milked the moment a little too much. Go back to engineering dude.
Did you see the knockout, it almost looked like on the way down Paul was deciding whether to be knocked out or not and then right before he hit the mat he went out. Strange looking KO.
With a name like War Machine, I’m expecting a lot out of him.
The coach set up reminds me of Penn vs. Pulver.
Penn was obviously the better fighter but Pulver’s team dominated Penn’s.
I have a lot of respect for Hughes as a fighter but I think his biggest assets are his strength and stamina. Two things that you get through years of training not a couple weeks of coaching.
Whats up with Paul? “I dont like to get hit”, good luck with that buddy. RUDEBOOOOOOOOOOOy, gotta love them scrappy Hawians. That KO was funny, Paul got caught and fell in slow motion. He started to sit down in slo mo and then continued to lay there. That was a weird ass KO.
Matt Serra’s team will have more wins, but the winner of the show is favorite to come out of team Hughes. I think it will be Barrata vs. Danzig in the finals, although I cannot discredit J-rock (with his gay Mike Tyson voice), George, or mattyboy.
Can anyone tell me what Pride events Mac Danzig has fought on?

It’s not just you.
Mac is a tool. I hope he gets the crap beaten out of him in his next fight. Then I hope Blake really goes hillbilly on him Deliverance-style and violates Mac after he passes out from all the pain meds he’s on after taking his whooping.
That was the best 1 punch KO out of all the seasons!
I feel every show will have killas & Duds..you can not have all Killas on one show..there won’t be final do to injury. This thus far was the best fight of season..with two fights won by quicktap..the other grappler/with good enuff striking vs a pure striker/ 0% ground.. Paul and Troy..we all new what to expect..One want the submission the other the KO..When you spend some time in the other’s world..one of these two things will happen..but we saw some action..I can’t complain.
Now Mac is funny to watch on TV..and is most likey in the finals..with drama..hey its a reality show.
Matt Hughes..I 4sure would of preferred to been picked by Serra. The fighter’s a growing more than just being in better shape..the game plans are more tailored.
Now what’s up with Matt beating up all his guys..that’s whack.
Does any notice that these fighters are so “c” class that some of them should not have been picked at all. Pauls stand up look like anyone could have knocked him out. Blake same story. You mean to tell me out all the guys that came out to try out these were the guys got picked. I think this show smells of more tv reality then realy looking for the best fighters in the country.
This was a much better episode in terms of content. The fights are still a snooze.

Pride 33. The one in Vegas. He got dominated by Hayato “Mach” Sakurai. It was as lopsided as the fight he rags on Bownman about.

If Ed Herman and Sean Penn had a Kid..it would be Mac.
Serra is a much better coach than hughes. I feel bad for hughes because none of his guys are sticking to the game plan.
I can`t wait til hughes fights serra so that everyone can start to give serra more credit.When serra was in the house as a fighter he still beat everyone and then knocked out gsp.

That’s a good point. Sometimes I’ll see a fighter in the background, and be like “Who in the world is that guy?”

Oh c’mon. Serra can beat 80% of the fighters FOR SURE, no doubt about it, were you joking??? And Matt Hughes would beat each and everyone of them with one hand tied behind his back.
I mean seriously, who have you seen this season that you are so impressed with that you were like, “Wow, he can beat the current champ, and the greatest WW champ ever”. At this point in time, Mac is the only fighter that I’ve seen that would even be allowed to step into the octagon with either of the coaches. Can you imagine what the NSAC’s response would be if they were approached with the approval/denial of Blake Bowman vs Matt Hughes? They would not even be allowed to fight.

I was going to mention the same 2 things. What a KO! Paul just went to sleep - nighty night. I wonder what was going thru his head as soon as he got hit, obviously the lights went out, and then he was thinking something like “chair ….. chair ….. chair ….. recliner? ….. ahhhhh, it’s a bed, good night.”
Its no wonder he doesn’t like to get hit. I really can’t believe that he would say that in his interview. Does he really expect to gain fans by saying that he goes into a fight looking to take minimal damage because he hates getting punched. That’s like a firefighter being scared of matches. It’s ok for a fighter to ‘think’ that, but to say that is totally unacceptable for a fighter. When he said that, only one word popped into my head - TITO.
John, actually Mac has only fought once in PRIDE, and it was at PRIDE 33, their last event. He got KO’d by Hayato Mach Sakurai. Speaking of which, I REALLY want Sakurai in the UFC. I’m sick of all the rumors.
Serra can definitely beat Mac. Serra is much better than he seems, especially on the ground.
Also, my favorite moment in last night’s show was the milk bottle thing. LOL!
Fred, there is no way that I can respond to you and have it show up on this site - due to moderation. Trust me, I’ve tried several times. However, I will say this, you obviously have not been coming to this site for very long. When I first started coming to this site, up until pretty recently, I was one of, if not the most, confrontational posters on this site. And I posted saying that I will no longer be doing so due to all of the editing of my posts and all of them that don’t show up. So you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Congrats to Troy for a nice knockout. I’m sure Da Boys in Hilo were luvin that !!
Troy sends another message to the world. Hawaiians can scrap brah !!
PW…ugh?? Would you really want to see that? Man, think for a minute what you are saying. Dude, be for real.??$^%^%$%^75859@%@^^
Any word on how that dude’s cousin died? What the fuck man, dude dies at 19 and no one feels the need to explain how?
Also, the guy had his freakin’ chin hanging out there like 5 feet from his body, I called knockout 2 seconds into the fight.

Dude, it’s none of our business how the kid died. That guy had nothing to do with the show. It was obvious that they intentionally cut out moments where any details were discussed (like when Dana was asking about it), and although I admit I was curious too, I understood.
Yeah, that KO was coming from way off, that was clear.
I’ve been wondering about Troy ever since I recognized him as one of BJ Penn’s fighters in his recent book. I wondered if he would be anything like the Prodigy. I think Troy’s a scrappy dude, but he seemed really weak on the ground for a guy who regularly rolls with BJ Penn. I expected more, but he seems tough.

No one would eat that vegan crap. It would probably give them the shits so bad they’d have to miss their next fight!! Eat meat, it tastes good. better than tofu anyway.
What did the guys in the house expect from Blake with a 0 - 0 MMA record? The dude was just out of his element in the octagon. I think they just pulled him in for more drama.
Not sure what to think about Mac. He loves the flies but hates other human beings? What if that fly he was making out with was a big puss to the other bugs? Would he have swatted it or just talked trash to it?
I’m wondering why they spend 90% of the time with the Hughes team. The Serra team must be getting along too well.
I would laugh my ass off if Danzig got KO’d in the first round. It would serve him right.
the triangle that dazing beat Joe Scarpola with was f&%king weak. I coulda got out of that one. Screw Danzig. He isn’t gonna win anyway

LOL totally
Matt Hughes is the worst coach on TUF yet. Even Shamrock was supportive with his fighters. Every single time a fighter on Hughes’ team loses he talks shit about them to the rest of the team. He has made it clear to all the guys on his team that he doesn’t care about them at all and this whole show is about HIM. Then the fact that he keeps beating the shit out of these kids isn’t helping either. At least the good news is that now the whole MMA world knows what a prick Hughes is. I can’t wait until that guy retires and I don’t have to see his overrated ass anymore.

Hughes started talking bad about Serra WAY before Serra said anything about him. Hughes is always saying how Serra is bad for the sport because he cusses. Apparently what is good for the sport is being an egotistical maniac who beats up on kids he is supposed to be helping and then talking shit about them when they get beat up in the ring.
Serra talks shit about Hughes now because he doesn’t like him, and who really does after seeing this show. I was hoping that Hughes would show off what an asshole he truly is on this show and he has. I have to think he has lost most of his fans.

I wasn’t trying to be confrontational. I just think that we should have all of our opinions. And if you have been visiting this site longer than I have (you don’t know any of that), good for you. So lets just let it rest.
Serra is annoying but I must say as far as cornering goes, he is far superior to Hughes in every way. He talks his fighters through while Hughes makes “don’t lose” type statements periodically. Like him or not, Serra is showing his worth as a coach and teacher while Hughes is steaming about “his” team losing to Serra’s team. I dont think Hughes gives a crap about any of these guys, just beating Serra… sad. Both coaches should leave the competitive hatred for their fight and do their best to coach their fighters as far as they can.
