Kyacey Uscola tells the story on TUF 11: The Aftermath: (video at the 18:30 min mark)
Stephan Bonnar: So Kyacey, after you got off the show you had a pretty interesting fight, and this one was not with humans but rather with a pack of pit bulls. What happened?
Kyacey Uscola: I was walking up to the side of the (TUF) house, along the road, when these dogs sort of ran up on me and cornered me, and um I’m an idiot I didn't run when I should’ve ran, I squared off with them and sliced my hand punching one in the teeth. Got chunks bitten out of my shoulder, hip, hamstring and the uh money one was that they bit through my urethra and uh I had to have a catheter for two weeks...
SB: The tooth actually pierced through your penis?
KU: Yeah, all the way through.
SB: It bit a hole in it?
KU: Yeah.
SB: Holy shit.
SB: At any point did you try choking the dog out? Or did you just throw strikes?
KU: I didn’t want to get on the ground with them, it was all sprawl and brawl man.
SB: So not too different from how you fight then...
KU: Not too much.
KU: The hooks I threw were from the hip, everything was no technique, soccer kicks. (gestures wildly)
SB: That was a month ago, how’s the recovery? Able to train again?
KU: Getting there, somewhat 10 days ago I got into it.
SB: How about you and the wife?
KU: Just easing in to things.
SB: Maybe start with some blumpkins.

A blumpkin so early in the healing process? That sounds like a recipe for infection if they aren’t old hats at it.
If you're gonna go blumpkin, might as well go all the way
And do a Blumpkin con Queso

TUF Canines
I wish they would have shown that fight on the show! It sounds a lot better than some of the other ones we saw!
Seriously though, they just let these guys walk off into the sunset? They don’t even call a cab and have a producer wait with him?

No you got it wrong. Well actually whoever transcribed it got it wrong. Notice the (TUF) is in parentheses.
Kyacey Uscola: I was walking up to the side of the (TUF) house, along the road,
Bonnar clearly says “soon after the show was over”. The show was already done and finished. Kyacey says he was just walking up the side of the house. It wasn’t the TUF house. Listen to the conversation again.
Just BE.
Holy shit. I thought was a nice neighborhood. The Anderson Silva comments to come shortly.

I don’t understand why “should of” wasn’t paraphrased to “should’ve”. It was a pretty funny story, though!

Worker comp?
Im not all pro union or anything, but if it happened like he said I think Zuffa owes him some money.
The dog attack did not happen at the TUF house.
The transcription is wrong. Kyacey does not say it happened at the TUF house. He just says house.
The show was already done filming. Bonnar clearly states soon after the show was over.
Just BE.
I agree with Mattman on this
Bloody elbow need to call and confirm that he is indeed talking about the TUF house immediately after filming wrapped and not about some other house unaffiliated with the show. They’re really potentially creating a story out of nothing.
If I’m not mistaken, the show wrapped filming in February, while this interview was most likely filmed in May.
The major problem is the person who transcribed the conversation took the liberty of inserting (TUF) before house.
Liddell begins filming the 11th season of the long-running series on Jan. 21 alongside rival coach and six-time light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz.
I believe it takes 6 weeks to film so they would have been done in early March.
I wish someone would fix the mistake because it’s clear listening to it that Kyacey doesn’t say it happened at the TUF house. Plus Bonnar starts off asking the question by saying “soon after the show” which again means the show was done with and it happened after the show and not at the TUF house.
Just BE.
Wait
Did he actually get away with saying blumpkin.
I’m impressed
they were feral dogs - breed doesn't matter
leash, fence spay and neuter, people!
scaaaaaaaaaary pibbles!

breed doesn't matter?
are you honestly saying a pack of wild toy poodles would be half as pants-shittingly terrifying?
i’m not against pit bulls, i’ve met plenty loving and well trained pit bulls. but even the idea of packs of wild pit bulls roaming civilized cities is scary as shit.
side note: i was walking to my train station in harlem when i saw a guy with what had to be a pit bull/st. bernard mix, it seemed perfectly nice, but it looked like a creature from a nightmare.
size matters, though
toy poodles probably not. standard poodles, probably so.

I'm sorry Breed does matter, it's documented.....
You don’t hear about Dalmations or Greyhounds or Beagals or something turning on their owners and attacking. Some breeds are prone to snap like that.
False
Dalmations are actually well known for being absolute terrors when their owners don’t train them correctly, same with beagles. The reason you never hear of Greyhounds being raised poorly is because they’re only really bred to run, so they pretty much all start off their lives being domesticated. Ironically, the pit bull has been bred for a few hundred years to be non-aggressive towards humans, and was considered a “nanny” dog to children in the early-mid 1900’s. Don’t spout nonsense if you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
It’s not about a dog “snapping.” What you have in many cities are owners that want a tough dog for look’s sake and fail to train their dogs, or even cultivate aggressive dogs for the sake of posturing/fighting. A well-trained dog will not “snap” and attack their owners. There’s ALWAYS an underlying reason for the dogs to attack. What matters is that when a pit bull that is not well-adjusted or has been raised to be aggressive DOES attack, their muscular build and strong jaws make the outcome much worse than if a chihuahua were to bite (Chihuahuas are also known to be aggressive, territorial little punks that are prone to bite). Big dogs with awful owners are the problem, not dog breed.
I would love to see these “documents” you’re speaking of. If you can cite them here, your argument might actually have some merit. As of right now, not so much.

Although I agree for the most part...
If you buy a pitbull from an unresponsible breeder (aka not a breeder) and the blood lines of the dog have a history of fighting and violence, that dog will have a greater chance of being violent. I had a aunt who owned a pitbull for 4 years, since it was a pup, and it was a great dog. Then one day the dog “snapped” and bit into, adn wouldn’t let go of my cousin’s leg. My cousin, who was 5 at the time, almost lost the leg. The dog had no history of violence prior to that incident though, and was trained very well.
Also, my best friend growing up had a dalmation, which to everyone it knew was the nicest dog around. But one day, it “snapped” and attacked my friends father for no reason. This dog, however, was NOT properly trained.
So, although training has ALOT to do with it, the breed absolutely can effect the dog.
In this case
I agree that irresponsible breeding came into play, not the breed itself. Breeding for aggressiveness will yield aggressiveness, and as you said, training has a lot, but not everything to do with it. There are certainly some breeds that are more apt to be aggressive towards humans (dobermans, german shepherds, the afforementioned little Chihuahua punks, poodles), but well-bred pits traditionally are not one of them. I’m sorry about your cousin though, that must have been awful.
"The mat is my church, the ground is my heaven, Jiu-Jitsu is my religion. And once you hit the ground you're in my world..."
even if a pit
is bred for fighting, human agression is a different thing. I agree with everything you said until you said “breed can efect the dog” if you change that to “breeding” I agree 100%
Agreed.
I’ve had a few APBTs myself, and never an issue with any of them. Of course size matters, but a feral dog is a feral dog regardless. To repeat some schmuck in texas – leash, fence spay and neuter, though I’d also add TRAIN.
though I’d also add TRAIN.
hear, hear!

You mentioned their strength as making them more dangerous, but their gameness (refusal to quit even when hurt), animal aggressiveness (they go after another pet, that pet’s owner intervenes and gets bitten), and hold and shake bites also contribute to their dangerousness.
Good call
Pit bulls (and to a lesser extent Rotties, etc.) have an immense amount of all of the above. Although I know some friends with pits that also have cats, other dogs, etc., were I ever to have another pit (I once had a half-pit that we didn’t realize was pit ‘til it reached a year or so), I would be weary having other animals (although my dog never attacked my cat, nor postured as if it would). So long as he knew that the animal was my animal, he would leave them alone. He had quite a bit of natural aggressiveness towards other dogs though, even though I had accustomed him to being around other dogs since he was a pup. He didn’t necessarily want to “fight,” he wanted to challenge them, which for a dog his size and build was dangerous. He was never people aggressive though.

Big dogs with awful owners are the problem, not dog breed

Blame goes to bad people, doing bad things to what would otherwise be good dogs.

By Whom???
Show me your exact documentation stating it’s a fact and I’ll show you ten documents that say otherwise.
Pitbulls that are properly bred are not human agressive. It is a trait that was purposeley bred into the dog many years ago so that after bull or bear baiting, or a dog fight, they would not attack their owner while they were riled up.
Many of these “pitbulls” you are reffering to are either Mutt’s or in many cases not even 1/4 American Pitbull Terriers, Amstaffs, Staffies or hell even american Bull terriers for that matter. The bulldog is a very old breed, and many bloodlines have bully blood in them. It’s easy to claim a dog is a pitbull just because it resembles one.
Nextly, these “Huge terrors” people speak of are not pitbulls. Pitbulls are terriers, because of that they are supposed to be medium to large dogs. These 90 pound “pitbulls” people have are mutts as well. A true pit will seldom exceed 60 pounds.
The issues come from crap breeding and bad owners. I have owned 2 gsd’s, a chow chow, a Beagle a Foxhound, a Labrador, a Pomeranian, some mutts and 3 Pitbulls. My Best dogs are my Pits. It’s people like you perpetuating ignorance that hurt this wonderful breed. it’s ignorance like yours that is essentially encouraging pitbull genocide.
This did not happening during the filming of TUF or at the TUF house.
The first sentence by Bonnar tells you that it didn’t happen during TUF.
Stephan Bonnar: So Kyacey, after you got off the show you had a pretty interesting fight, and this one was not with humans but rather with a pack of pit bulls. What happened?
Bonnar clearly sets it up with “after you got off the show” meaning it did not happen during the filming of TUF.
Kyacey does not say it happened at the “(TUF) house”. He just says “house”.
So can someone fix the title of this? Because it’s wrong and more sites are beginning to pick this story up and stating it happened at the TUF house during the filming of TUF.
Just BE.
