Episode 10 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Season 11, featuring coaches Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell and Tito "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz, gets underway and Chuck is freaking out because Dana just told him that Tito is pulling out of their UFC 115 fight on June 12.
Tito says he doesn't have a choice and has no desire to go through another surgery.
Right off the bat we go to the weigh ins between Josh Bryant and Jamie Yager. Both fighters make weight without incident.
Back at the house Jamie asks the guys to keep it down while he gets his beauty sleep. Yager feels confident and reminds the Minority Report "there is no cardio in the chin" while Josh takes out the trash.
Literally.
Quarterfinal fight #4: Josh Bryant (10-0) vs. Jamie Yager (2-1)
Round 1: Quick in and out for both fighters. They rush again and Yager gets briefly stunned and responds with a missed kick. Bryant pushes him to the cage but Yager escapes. High kick finds the back for Yager. Then a low kick. Another to the back. Bryant eats one in the nuts and action is halted. They resume and Yager finding a home for the low kick. Someone off camera is hooting and hollering like a Native American conjuring spirits over a campfire. Yager with a high kick but Bryant catches it and they bunny hop across the cage. Bryant can't seem to pull the trigger and Yager hits another low kick. Bryant finally uncorks one and it flattens Yager who hits the canvas and spastically kicks his legs in defense. Bryant jumps into his guard and they struggle for position until the horn.
Round 2: Low kick lands for Yager. Yager backs him up with punches and gets one in the nuts. They restart and Yager working kicks. Bryant tags him and Yager tries a few flying knees but gets air. Yager falls to the the ground and Bryant right to side control. Yager stands up into a guillotine but he powers out and lands a few punches on the break. They start trading in the center of the cage and both men landing like crazy but are tired and not doing enough damage to finish. Yager gets dropped again and Bryant on top working elbows. Both men are spent. Bryant works the arm but doesn't have the strength to secure it. Ten seconds left and Yager is eating elbows. Round over and it's a draw but Yager doesn't sound like he's in a hurry to get to round three.
Round 3: Never happens. Yager quits on the stool.
Dana walks over to Chuck and tells him he was wrong for questioning all of his picks. Then Coach Ortiz calls Yager a pussy for quitting and says he let everyone down and has no heart as they cart the wounded fighter away in an ambulance.
The irony is so thick it's melting my laptop.
Dana tells Tito he's going to fly him to Los Angeles to have a second doctor evaluate him. He's officially off the show and Chuck already has a replacement for UFC 115. Ortiz call his situation "challenging" and is disappointed that he got fired because he never got fired before in his life.
I guess he forgot about his appearance on Celebrity Apprentice.
Anyway, Tito gets in his car and drives off and promises he'll be back. Only he never tells his team, who watches him from the van and Clayton McKinney (sans green hair) says he looks like a guy who just got fired.
So Dana has to wrangle the guys from the van and tells them Ortiz got the boot. They are a little upset that Tito never said goodbye or anything and just dissed them. Dana says not to worry they're getting a new coach.
Later that night Yager rolls in from the hospital to find out Tito is gone. Yager says he has muscle damage but other than that he's okay. McCray tells him the team is still on his case for quitting. Yager says if you doubt him then just bring it.
Uh huh.
Tito comes back to the house to say goodbye and his team is glad to see him. He gives them the rundown on what his medical condition is and talks about why he's so devastated about leaving and eventually pulls the God card.
The next day everyone gathers for the semifinal announcements and they are:
Brad Tavares vs. Court McGee
Kris McCray vs. Josh Bryant
After the announcements lo and behold Rich "The Aceman" Franklin is in da howse!
Stay tuned next week as Franklin gets a top name assistant coach, the two semifinal bouts get underway and Jamie Yager pushes one too many buttons.
See you next week!

Probly the 1 up top where he's dropping a giant mud monkey.

So you think it's funny? Mmmkay
To wander into the boys bathroom Mmmkay and drop your pants and squeeze a mud monkey out in the urinal? (I know it’s not the exact quote but that is what that reminded me of.
I thought it was interesting how Dana told the guys that Tito left. At first it sounded like he was just going to say that Tito flat out bailed and wasn’t told of the show at all haha.

Dana is a dick! He favors Chuck and treats Tito like a dog.
He says he wants a second opinion and makes it look like he cares, when in reality he wants proof that Tito is lying. Tito had the surgery so it was true. I don’t like Tito, but I do respect the way he gives 100% to coaching. Dana tried to make Tito’s teammates hate him for walking out on them when in reality he fired Tito. I was glad Tito came back to the house to set his team straight. No class Dana, now go kiss Chuck’s ass some more. Feed him Rich Franklin who isn’t the same since Silva crushed him. He’s going up in weight to face another heavy handed fighter like Belfort. Way to throw Chuck a bone. Oh, and if anyone doubts it ask why he would give him Tito to begin with. Chuck has already beat him twice.
What is wrong with giving Chuck a beatable opponent? He obviously will not stop fighting(despite the fact he probably should) and Dana won't risk him fighting for another Organization.
That’s the level he’s at now. They aren’t going to put him in the cage with the chance he gets killed. They are just using Chuck to milk another PPV out of him. Franklin hasn’t been the same since Silva pwned him, you’re right. Add that to the fact that Franklin thinks he can win fights at LHW, I think it’s almost the best possible fight they could put together on a couple days notice. I actually want to see this fight because I think Chuck can win it. How many guys are there in the UFC at his weight class do you think won’t kill Chuck if they fight? Plus able to sell PPV’s, and want to fly out to Vegas to train the TUFer’s for 5 days?
Chuck/Tito or Chuck/Franklin is about the only workable options for Chuck that I can think of.
This is what happens when you bet on a loser like Cote, I should have listened to David W-S
I think Franklin will win, but I think Dana was giving him a guy who’s not going to retard Chuck up anymore. Franklin isn’t what you would call a power puncher, so Dana’s probably thinking that he won’t have to read Chuck bedtime stories and feed him pudding even if he loses this one.
Myth: Three Americans die every year from rabies. Fact: Four Americans die every year die from rabies.
For Sure.
He’ll get to fight Forrest too. Make a killing off that. They’ll milk Chuck until he can’t sell anymore. They aren’t worried about his health like they claim.

i'd like to see chuck keep fighting even if he gets KO'd in this fight.
i think Rich will win, and Im a bigger Rich fan than a Chuck fan, but its a fight I’ve been wanting to see for a while. Chuck vs Vera would be a good one
Next prediction -- Martin Kampmann submits Paulo Thiago
Counting down the days till Shogun vs Rogerio 2 (which now seems to have increased dramatically)
My thoughts exactly
At this point, I just expect this type of bullshit from Dana. What a complete wang!
" Its a good thing you look good in that suit, cos that's all you're gonna be doing - wearing a suit."

Yager’s defense is terrible; all you need to do is get close.

Im glad that cocky bastard got beat.. I was ranting to a friend
about how I had no faith in him on the ground.. or in a multi-round situation… It makes my day that he was broken both mentally and physically :)
I was thinking Couture too.
That’d be a little ironic. There were rumors of Rich vs Randy, and then they end up being coaching partners.
As for the fight, I agree with Dana that it was the best fight of the season. I like Josh, and hoped he’d beat Yager. As the fight was happening, I thought that Yager’s leg kicks were going to “pay dividends” but they never seemed to take a pip outta Josh’s movement. Yager was throwing very nice body kicks/knees. While quitting on the stool is only a small step above tapping to strikes, I’d like to see Yager fight in the finale. Personality aside, I like the way he fights for the first 8 minutes.

Quiting on the stool is way worse. You’re in no immediate danger at the moment.

true.
but neither is really better than the other.

I was thinking one of the following:
Serra
Couture
Mir
Hughes
Penn (a real long shot)
With the exception of Penn (he might of been fighting in abudabi at the time as well) they are all company guys.

Weird thing to say of Johnny

I wasn’t sure if he was being serious or a smartass.

I know
My sentence got a little jumbled up. It’s not really proper english.
I thought it was weird that Johnny said “seems chronic to me”.
Johnny is strange sometimes.

I was impying that his "case of the stupids" wasn't a one-time deal
Was I serious? You decide.

We know what you were implying. It seems weird that you would say that to MM_eh, he's one of the normal guys on here.

It was a golden opportunity
Didn’t really have anything to do with who it was; just an opportunity.

Makes sense then.
Should have put a :). Saves the confusion. It was good timing for the joke though.

It was a well timed insult. I just wasn’t sure if you were joking around or if maybe I had insulted you in the past. Anyways, keep on keepin’ on…now I know you don’t have it out for me so call me retard whenever you can.

No Defense either.
He wouldn’t keep his hands up. Fought like some sort of kajukenbo or TKD dude in a non-contact fight. Too bad. He wasted all those great knees and kicks then got his “switch” turned off once a few punches landed on his chin.
Sitting out of the third on the stool though, that is LAYYYME.
Dont' give up till you throw up or pass out!
I'm not a Tito fan at all, but,
hate to take up for him. Why didn’t Dana just let him coach it out and him have his surgery and comeback and fight later. Is he fired totally out of the UFC, or was it just off the show?
Just off the show.
He’ll be back later this year from what he says. I have a feeling they will be having him fight Chuck at some point no matter what.
If he wins he will probably want to fight someone better than Tito
And if he loses, what would be the point? How could they possibly sell Tito/Chuck when they are both coming off like 5 straight losses? No matter what that fight has lost all selling power. IMO
This is what happens when you bet on a loser like Cote, I should have listened to David W-S
They would be able to sell it
As a huge Grudge match,Take snips from this years tuf show,It def couldnt be a headliner but co main event def
it would be main event guaranteed
One more loss on Chucks record wouldn’t prevent that. Dana doesn’t give a sh*t if us couple hardcores don’t like it. Saves him another huge fight for the card to follow, and the average fan loves Chuck vs Tito…or at least knows who they are.

Well, I agree with you.
But at the same time they really couldn’t sell it to us now. They just put them on TUF to try to manufacture more shit between them. There is no reason for either Tito or Chuck to really even be fighting anymore. I just think Dana will give Chuck a fight with Tito because he wants it. It’s pretty clear how close they are and I’m sure White would be glad to give him what he wants in this instance. But yeah, they won’t be able to sell it.
lol, yes they will. fans like us are a huge minority brother.

Even casuals won't be conned to buy shit meaningless fights
Look at how horrible the numbers were for Tito-Forrest 2 as proof of that.

i thought it was a good show on the whole

Good show or not
fans didn’t pay to see it. I paid cause I always do and thought the show was actually really good but the Main Event is what sells and Tito won’t sell another big fight again.
At the end of the show while one of the of the fighters is walking in
It shows the other coach from the chin down, looks like Randy,coleman or wandi.Not sure witch.
Just a thought
But if Chuck wins his next 3 fights could he get a title shot? playing it out in my head.If he beats franklin.. Then gets Tito possibly in sept/oct wins that fight.Then Maybe Forrest in the Dec show.
would he? 100% yes he would
… Hell, if he wins 2 in a row he more then likely would get one. Story line writes itself. Easy to market for UFC. If he got 3 W’s in a row there is 0% chance his next fight wouldn’t be for the title.

I see it going down like this
Rich beats Chuck TKO
Shogun beats Rashad TKO
Machida beats Rampage UD
At this point Rich either gets a shot at Shogun or a rematch with Machida.

He fired Tito because Tito didn't disclose his injury when Dana hired him to do the show.
It’s the same at any work place.
This is what happens when you bet on a loser like Cote, I should have listened to David W-S
The injury Tito has is old. He's had it for a couple years(Tito told Dana that)
When you start any job then 6 months down the road tell them you are not going to fulfill a contract because of an exsisting injury, they can fire you on the spot. Tito signed on to do the show knowing he wouldn’t finish the contract, he deserves to be fired.
This is what happens when you bet on a loser like Cote, I should have listened to David W-S
tito said in the episode ever since the forrest fight it'd been fucked
he said he was getting numbness already. so either get it sorted before you agree to fight if it’s a problem. or if you agree to fight when you’rewell aware of it then fight through it. don’t just sign up to get on tv then puss out of the fight
i’m guessing the wanting him off is more to do with rampage though. with him pulling out of the fight and fucking over dana he didn’t want another series where coach wouldn’t fight coach a the end of the series, so throw another coach in a the last minute
its forrest griffin and gray maynard
watch the aftershow.
i am not offered an "aftershow" here...
Can you elaborate? Do you just mean the clip/preview for next weeks episode? Or where you are do you get like a 30 min (BK sponsored) special?

Or does chuck look like he just sucked on a lemon before that pic ( chuck-tito tuf staredown) was taken….all puckered and what not

hilarious, its one guy throwing the other further under the bus they ran under themselves....

I didn't like Yager the first time I saw him.
I didn’t know he was going to puss out like this though. I figured he had this season locked up.
