This week, the UFC and Spike TV had once again brought us two fights in one hour, topping off the quarterfinal action, this season.
The beginning of this installment gave us an exciting recap of the final fight that occurred in last week's episode, between Amir Sadollah and Matt Brown in which Sadollah had won an extremely hard fought WAR by triangle choke submission. We also then saw footage of Jeremy May requesting a rematch with Brown on the season finale, taking place on the 21st of June. This left Brown somewhat boggled and wondering as to what he thought would happen after their previous encounter in the Octagon. Returning to the house, we also heard Jesse Taylor spewing his own disgust at May, leaving May to plot a sneaky course of action like the class-less weasel that he is. He attempted to get a rise out of Taylor to the point of the semi-finalist lashing out against him, thus losing his bed in the house and subsequently his spot in the semis. Later on that evening the smelly skunk May, using whatever "liquid courage" he could muster, attempted to bring his nefarious plot to fruition by referring to Taylor as a "bitch", and making some rather distasteful anti-Semitic remarks that didn't seem to sit too well with Taylor, Dolce or anyone else for that matter. This caused Taylor the need to be restrained by his fellow house residents. Afterwards, May would attempt to give some minuscule show of respect. Although, he might as well have gotten on his knees and kissed Taylor's ass, even though I still don't think it would've made a lick of difference to help his situation.
The first fight of the night featured "Crazy" Tim Credeur vs. Daniel Cramer. Round 1 began with an inside leg kick from Credeur, who moved immediately into a wrestling clinch against the cage. Working for the take down it was Credeur who wound up on the bottom, with Cramer working on some ground and pound. Credeur would then scramble back to the feet after a few connections. Cramer then gained a takedown of his own, but would be swept almost immediately. Credeur gaining side-control, wouldn't keep it for long as Cramer would also scramble back to the feet. Credeur, then seemingly trying to pull guard whilst reaching for the leg of Cramer, who would be warned by the ref not to utilize the cage to gain leverage. Credeur would then pull Cramer to the ground securing a solidly impressive heel hook, due to his overall method of doing so in general. So, Tim Credeur would be the first individual this week to advance to the semi-finals, via submission and tap out.
Next up it would be CB Dollaway vs. Cale Yarbough. CB went on camera conveying his dislike for Yarbough's mouth, sense of humor as well as his staring problem. Cale would go on to state the holes that he had observed in Dollaway's striking, and that he would attempt to capitalize on these to the fullest extent during the fight. Forrest also stated, admittedly unknowing I might add, that he feels that CB is an arrogant prick; which kind of made me wish he would wrap those big ears of his around his mouth for just a moment.
Preceding the last match of the quarterfinals, the world bore witness to the most massive amount of destruction that the interior of the house has ever seen. Words can't really describe the chaos and carnage that the residents would inflict upon the walls or otherwise. This left the abode in shambles, as well as it's residents feeling somewhat relieved of stress, apparently.
Round 1 of the last quarterfinal match-up began with a body kick from CB, followed up by a take down. Dollaway started right into the raining of vicious strikes from the top. Soon after CB gained mounted position, landing even more blows. Yarbough would be forced to give his back away, with CB attempting to sink in the hooks to no avail. Yarbough, remaining in turtle position, was the recipient of several shots from Dollaway to the side of his cranium. After the refs repeated commands to fight back, the fight would be over for Yarbough and the supremely dominant Dollaway would have his shot in the semi-finals via T.K.O. stoppage in the first round.
Following the fight, Forrest would ask his remaining 3 team members who they wanted to fight in the semis. Forrest also requested that someone stop the machine that is my buddy, CB Dollaway. Jesse Taylor would step up, and Forrest agreed that he has the best to chance to get the wrestler on his back, as well as gain the win over him. The next day, the semi-final fights would be chosen. With Rampage MIA, Forrest thought that he would surely get his way. After a brief discussion with all the combatants, Rampage would finally arrive, stating it was his lack of sleep that forced him to be late. Dana then announced the fights, and it would be: Tim Credeur vs. Jesse Taylor and CB Dollaway vs. Amir Sadollah in the semi-finals. So no one really got their way, and the semi-finals are about to ensue, next week on the Ultimate Fighter!
