The Ultimate Fighter Ultimate Moments: Five Segments That Resonate

via UFC.com

At some point this season it will happen. You will know it when you see it - reality TV magic. A fighter will talk trash. Maybe he will shit in someone's bag. Perhaps even in an enemy's food. It could be a wacky iconoclast just being wacky. Almost certainly a door made mostly of cardboard will take a horrible beating.

Every season of The Ultimate Fighter has a memorable moment. These five, however, stand alone as the greatest moments in TUF history.

Star-divide

5. Junie versus the world: Junie Browning is like Chris Leben minus any of Leben's endearing qualities. Leben, to his credit, wasn't playing a character. He really was a damaged kid with a lot of issues and insecurities he masked with outlandish behavior. Browning just seemed like a drunken boor. One one memorable night he pushed things a little to far. Ryan Bader pushed back and chaos was the predictable result.

4. Team Dagger: The third season of The Ultimate Fighter was, to put it blunty, filled with assholes. Tito Ortiz was the most likeable coach, Michael Bisping introduced the world to, well, Michael Bisping, and Matt Hamill was the least endearing disabled athlete in history, kind of a deaf Matt Hughes. In the midst of the douche baggery came Kendall Grove and Solomon Hutcherson, straight acting bros who reached out across the aisle to form Team Dagger.

3. Do you wanna be a fighter?: It became obvious very early on that UFC President Dana White was being groomed to be the focal point of the promotion's public relations efforts. Here's the speech that inspired a billion internet jokesters.

"Let me explain something to everybody. This is a very—and when I say very, I mean very—unique opportunity. If you’ve ever wanted to really be a fighter (and when I say a real fighter, you wanna be like some of the guys on the wall in here), this is fuckin unbelievable. It’s an amazing opportunity, right? You don't have to worry about paying your fucking bills. You really don’t have to worry about whatever’s going out on in the real world right now. We’ve gotten some of the best grappling, boxing, muay thai coaches there are. You have nothing to fucking worry about every day except coming in and getting better at what supposedly you want to do for a living. You understand what I’m saying? How bad do you want it?

We picked who we believe are the best guys in the country right now. We did. And you guys are it. Fucking act like it, man. You are gonna fight in front of a lot of people. A lot of people. You have no fuckin clue at the opportunity that you have here. Any questions? Does anybody not want to be here? Does anybody not want to win this fucking thing? Does anybody not wanna fight? Is that a no? Talk to me. Do you wanna be a fucking fighter? Do you wanna be a fighter? That’s the question.

It’s not about cutting weight. It’s not about living in a fucking house. It’s about do you wanna be a fighter. It’s not all fucking ya know, signing autographs and banging broads when you get outta here. It’s not. It’s no fucking fun man. It’s not. It’s a job just like any other job. Being a fighter isn’t all fucking girls and signing autographs. It’s fucking hard work, but you have the opportunity to fuckin make money, be famous, and do something for the sport here. That’s what this is all about.


So the question is not did you think you had to make weight, but did you think you had to do this? Do you wanna be a fuckin fighter? That is my question. And only you know that. Anybody who says they don’t, I don’t fucking want you here. And I'll throw you the fuck outta this gym so fuckin fast your head will spin. It’s up to you. I don’t care. Cool?

Have a good night gentleman." —Dana White

2. The house fight: Fighting is okay in the cage. But when it goes down at the house, Dana White is not amused. Street fighter Marlon Sims and marine Noah Thomas go at it, egged on by Allen Berube. White wastes little time setting a precedent: all three are sent packing.

1. The hose, the window, the house: After Chris Leben spent much of the first season tormenting pretty much everyone in the house, Bobby Southworth and Josh Koscheck decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. An angry confrontation ensued and Leben, upset about being called a "fatherless bastard" sleeps it off in the yard. When Koscheck turned the hose on him, all hell breaks loose.

Honorable mention: Tito and Ken square off, Jorge Gurgel and Joe Stevenson in a physical challenge, Diego Sanchez and his chi, Luke Cummo being Luke Cummo, Michael Bisping picks on a deaf guy, BJ Penn demands fighters choose him over Jens Pulver, and Kimbo Slice makes a memorable appearance at the UFC Training Center.

The Gurgel-Stevenson scarecrow drill was awesome. I thought Jorge was going to murder Rich Franklin for making him throw it.

I really loved Gurgel on that show. He was so intense. I met him in the airport last year after a UFC show and it just seemed life had worn him down. A fighter I will always root for, that is a certainty.

Throwing that drill was the greatest thing Franklin has ever done in MMA. Great television.

by Jonathan Snowden on Sep 17, 2010 10:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

It was in season two versus Matt Hughes.

The scarecrow drill is where you have one guy ride piggyback on a teammate and then pull himself around to the front and then again to the back and repeat as many times as possible until one or both guys have to quit from exhaustion. Joe Stevenson did a RIDICULOUS number of repetitions pulling himself around Mike Whitehead and both guys were absolutely drenched in sweat and cramping up. Rich saw this and said fuck it, let Hughes kill his guys to win this stupid competition, I’m going to forfeit and keep my guys fresh. Meanwhile, Jorge was watching Stevenson go and getting all amped up about beating him. When Rich pulled him aside and told him to forfeit, Jorge went ballistic.

I really enjoyed Season 2. Rich Franklin was an ace.
Matt Hughes was Matt Hughes. You have Jardine, Evans, Stevenson, etc.

Leben got drunk, and the next day he and the others had to go on a treadmill to the point of exhaustion, as part of the coaches analysis. Leben did better than anyone else, which showed how much heart the guy has.

I really wish they would bring those challenges back. It was a great way to get a glimpse at what kind competitor a guy is.

My all-time favorite was the one where they had to carry a bunch of cases of water to the top of a building, with the water being strategically located on each floor from the the one just below the roof all the way down to the first floor. Forrest Griffin showed what a pyscho competitor and workhorse he was by running down to the lowest floor possible every time to get his case. Meanwhile, Sam Hoger showed his true colors by always grabbing a case from the floor just below the roof. Great stuff.

Personal favorite moment

Lightweight competitor Dave Kaplan drunkenly claiming he cannot be knocked out. Light heavyweight Ryan Bader happily proving him wrong.

Oh, some great moments in season three, too. Especially Ed Herman getting uppity because Tito doesn’t pick him for his team and Bisping beating the tar out of Ross Pointon who cries like hell after. Bisping’s comment that Pointon would be “alright once he gets a few beers in him” had me in stitches.

He was attempting to use it to show them that he was working with their best interest in mind.

Funny thing about that part is Matt Serra’s reaction. He responded by making an ass of himself saying “what if you’re Jewish.”

Hughes had them reading out of the Old Testament.

That’s pretty funny, actually. Jewish – no problem – flip back half the book. Muslim? You’ll be wanting the revised edition.

Part of the reason he brought the bibles was because guys were complaining about bored at the house and not having anything to read. So Matt brought the bibles as something for them to read.

The thing that cracks me up is everyone bitches about Matt bringing bibles, but forgets that Rich actually had bible study sessions with his team.

I don't care about Matt Hughes being a pompass asshole

He’s a hell of a fighter, and one of my all time favs

No. If you wanted the episode in question

you’ll know that Matt Hughes used a bible story and asked his team to parallel that to the team. Matt was the “Queen” according to Matt.

I wasn’t calling him a “queen”.

That said, I’ve been watching a lot of Matt Hughes lately and I feel he was very VERY underappreciated including by me. I’ve since come around.

My feelings too

As a fighter, Matt Hughes is THE MAN, but he has such a jock mentality that it makes me grind my teeth.

Get rid of the ramp!

I took it to mean Diva not homo,

Yeah, how long you been watching MMA? I started following seriously in like 04 and Matt has been one of my bromances since before people started using that word. When people hate on wrestling in MMA I point to Matt Hughes and say suck it, ya feel me?

I sympathized like hell with Hamill – everyone in the house was piss scared of his wrestling and just mocked him without mercy.

Best line in TUF history? “I’ll go to JAIL livin’ with THAT motherfucker!”

I really learned to hate Bisping because of his constant mocking of Hamill while his back was turned. Gigantic bitch move. I also hated Mike Nickels for the same reason.

Mike Nichols getting his ass beat by Hamill was a "Stand up and cheer" moment for me

His “head down, arms windmilling like a girl” style of fighting was HILARIOUS.

My personal favorite "TUF" moment....

Was during the season 3 coaches challenge, and Ken Shamrock hustling everybody. “Pool?” “I can’t play Pool.” Then he ran the table on Tito twice. And I remember Kendall Grove standing upstairs yelling, “He’s a hustler!”

Most of the coaches challenges turn out to be some of my favorite moments. I loved the ping pong game between Penn, and Pulver as well.

I liked Luke Cumo on the show he was fucking weird and a vegan and had glasses and shit

The he destroyed the guy in his first fight and then Von Flu and no one wanted a piece of him after that.

One of my favorite moments

When Roman Mitichyan angrily proclaimed that he was no poosy after the doctor told him that he couldn’t fight. Then he sadly picked a flower and smelled it.

Maybe it’s just me, but when the guys on TUF are trying to be funny, eg Sims dressed as a ninja or all the numerous pranks, it was less funny (read: not funny at all) than the unintentional comedy, eg Kaplan getting knocked out. In fact, all the “pranks” and the forced laughter following them, are a major part of what is wrong with the show.

by Pantherhare on Sep 17, 2010 5:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Two things about the Dana quote...

First and foremost, it is one of the absolute best off the cuff shotgun blasts in the history of bosses bitching out employees.

Second, its sad that the show itself is actually the complete opposite, in spirt, of what he is saying there. TUF Is all about all the bullshit besides the training and fighting.

I like Fedor, it’s just his fans that are intolerable...and his management.

No mention of slow motion ping pong i’m disapointed, that was by far the best moment in the history of TUF. Sadly it was much better than the actual fight becaue Jens was done as a top LW and eventually fighter. But for one last shinning moment Pulver put the smackdown and BJ and it was great tv.
