TUF 10 Contestant, Darrill Schoonover to Return to Active Army Duty

Darrill Schoonover (10-0), the guy Rampage inappropriately nicknamed as "titties", will return to active military duty in the US Army shortly after his match at the Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale this December:
Schoonover, who previously served four years in the Army, believes he may be called to serve in Afghanistan, according to an interview he conducted with Shambala Sports Radio.
"At first I was kind of pissed," he said. "I was like, 'I've already served my country for four years and been out for almost two years.' I'm getting my fighting started and getting the ball rolling on that. I was kind of mad, but the very next day, I just accepted it. I'll do what I gotta do, and then I'll come back and work on my fighting."
He also mentioned that he will use that 400-day stint with the military to lose weight and work on his conditioning, which could lead to a possible drop down to light heavyweight in his UFC return.

not right off, but on deployment is a great time to lose weight. A buddy of mine just got back from Iraq and he lost 50 pounds.

I've hardly been on BE recently, and I didn't notice it on the fanshots when I quickly browsed through it.
I thought it was just some other video. Sorry Nick.

Turns out it was just a tall Arab, and not Bin Laden.

The sad thing is that Osama bin Laden is a really common name, kind of like the Arabic “John Smith”. At any given moment some poor Arabic guy is trying to explain that he isn’t “that” Osama bin Laden.

yeah
Mine was in reference to a bomb we dropped on a wedding party because one of the people was tall, so they thought it might be Bin Laden.
And by “we”, I mean Canada! ;)

Being the one we want dead
is close to 6’5", you’d think he’s be pretty identifiable.

Tiddies will come back with no tiddies. And then Rampage will say “Tiddies what happened to Tiddies?”
Then Rampage can fight Tiddies at 205, loser wears a bra at the post fight press conference!

Won't happen
Rampage will be off shooting his next blockbuster hit movie.

You misspelled his nickname
its not “tities,” its “chesticles.”

kind of makes Rampage look more like a dick
calling a guy “titties” over and over, then the man is headed to Afghanistan

I don’t see what one thing has to do with the other.

I will never understand how so many people on this site got so butthurt over a joke.
Ricky Hatton came closer to beating Manny Pacquiao than Marquez did to beating Floyd.

Brendan Schaub on Schoonover:
Man, for Darrill’s sake, I hope he can lose the nickname “Titties,” but I don’t see it happening. I spoke with Darrill a few weeks ago, and he did an appearance in New York, and told me everyone came up to him for autographs and referred to him as “Titties.” The crappy thing about “Rampage” being mean to Darrill is that before the teams were picked, Darrill’s favorite fighter was “Rampage,” and he preferred to be part of “Rampage’s” team. I think that’s why he let “Rampage” get away with the name calling at first.

Maybe dropping to 205 will help.
I dislike Matt Hughes. Shogun beat him like a dirty horse.

I bet if he’s standing there in his fatigues holding a gun nobody will call him titties.
by ufc4 on Nov 28, 2009 1:50 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
to be clear.. “say it” or bring it up, or maybe even tease him a few times.. but i doubt they’d harass him like rampage does. haha.
