The Ultimate Fighter Season 4, Episode 11
Thursday, October 26th, 2006By Erin Bucknell Update: Din Thomas has a message for those of you who thought this week’s TV fight was boring.

The Ultimate Fighter Season 4, Episode 10
Thursday, October 19th, 2006By Erin Bucknell In the “previously on†Serra is annoyed with Laimon, Shonie annoys everyone and Shonie/Serra is set up. Gee, I wonder exactly which two guys this episode will focus on.
UFC 64: Unstoppable
Saturday, October 14th, 2006By Erin Bucknell For additional coverage of this event, check out Dave Doyle at FoxSports.com. Spencer Fisher vs. Dan Lauzon Spencer has some very interesting entrance music. Very, umm, subdued. Wow, Lauzon’s a bit of a youngen isn’t he? “The Upgradeâ€? Wow that’s worse than “The Athlete.†(Ed. — At least he didn’t call himself […]
The Ultimate Fighter Season 4, Episode 9
Thursday, October 12th, 2006By Erin Bucknell Well keeping the teams as is seems kinda pointless what with only Travis surviving from his team. Though I must say for the most part I’m definitely more of a MoJo fan, simply so I can have Serra’s “Hamma-Fist!!!†to snark at. “Mollywobâ€? And it’s another wierdass Shonie-ism. Matt Hughes randomly shows […]
