Tonight, join us right here for live discussion of episode 4 of The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber. As always, the show airs on Fox Sports 1 at 10:00 p.m. ET.
After last week, the run of entertainment on TUF 22 continues. A lot of that (but not all of it) is thanks to McGregor, who is an entertaining coach and presence. He got tremendously fired up in last week's fight, and it looks like this week he will be clashing with Urijah Faber over just how much McGregor cares about this show and his team. That reads like it could be lame, but honestly, I'm finding it very interesting.
As for the fight - last week was not the most action-packed fight in the world, as Sascha Sharma burned out early and had little to offer the grinding Chris Gruetzemacher as the fight progressed, giving Team Faber the 2-0 lead. Highlights are above, and highlights are really all you need from this one.
This week: Tom Gallicchio vs. Marcin Wrzosek. Gallicchio is a 9 year veteran with a 19-8 record. He's been around the block and found success, most commonly with his grappling (with the rear naked choke as his go-to move). "The Polish Zombie" is 10-2 and is more of a striker. That makes this a classic stylistic match-up, and it should be a good one. Gallicchio is the easy pick here, but don't sleep on Wrzosek for the upset.
Here are the current standings:
Team McGregor (Europe) 0-2: Abner Lloveras, David Teymur, Frantz Slioa 0-1, Marcin Wrzosek, Martin Svensson, Mehdi Baghdad, Sascha Sharma 0-1, Saul Rogers
Team Faber (United States) 2-0: Billy Quarantillo, Chris Gruetzemacher 1-0, James Jenkins, Jason Gonzalez, Julian Erosa, Ryan Hall 1-0, Thanh Le, Tom Gallicchio
