TUF 12: Fucking Boring

We open up tonight's episode with Koscheck going easy on Savak. He's not being a jerk and shows real concern for Savak. But they only show this for a minute and then we get a final fight pick. Red 'orse vs. Psycho (Sako). Red 'orse is the underdog and neither Koscheck or Dana feel he has much of a shot at winning. Sako was a Judo champ after all.

Back at the house, Spencer Page has a broken hand so he can't be in the consideration of Wild Card. Jeff Lentz is hitting the bottle and dipping while hoping to get the wildcard spot. Andy Main is really fucking boring and Aaron Wilkenson is complaining that Jeff Lentz is drunk and shouldn't be the wildcard cause he's a "waster". Jeff Lentz finalizes it by saying he'll pee on the British guy while he sleeps.

Jean Charles Skarbowsky is back with a bottle of MD 20/20 Orange Jubilee to hype Red 'orse up and explains that Koscheck isn't American, since Dane Sayers is Native American. If you thought people were pissed about Cain Velasquez's "Brown Pride" tattoo, your mind will be blown when Horse starts the "Red Pride" movement. GSP has a hard time saying "hits hard" but turns out that Howard Grant, the boxing coach for team GSP, thinks he has KO power and can beat the Armenian Judoka with his standup, bro.

Team Koscheck training time and Kos bumps into the gigantic black dude. His name is Brad Tate and he's a male nurse. I wish his name was Terry Tate, office Linebacker, cause his shit talk is awful. He doesn't like being called a male nurse though. He's a medic, not a nurse. I think it's the same thing but hey, whatever floats your boat guy.

Sako has a legitimate judo pedigree on the world level. He's getting sprawl tips from Dan Cormier (!!!) He's got terrible stand up but I guess it looks better than usual? Here we go with the typical "I worked hard for this" talk. Sako used to drink and party and almost died. He was shot...in the leg. By Gang...gangbangers. And in the most ironic point of the season, Koscheck explains how MMA can teach you respect.

COACHES CHALLENGE!!! They are playing baseball. GSP has never played and Kos hasn't picked up a bat since he was 13. I am 'merican and am rooting for Koscheck. Sevak is heckling the shit outta Georges and Jon Brookins isn't happy about it. It's not really fair as Kos is sitting on the pitches and GSP is swinging at everything. GSP finds his riddum and has a decent showing on his second 20 balls. Koscheck runs train on his final 10 pitches and annihilates Georges. Georges says next time they should play Ice 'ockey and Kos is the only black(?) guy to say he plays too.

The two Armenians are chillin out at the house and then we findout it's fight time. Red Horse is stoked to fight and thinks he's gonna surprise everything who is overlooking him.

Fight time! I'm not breaking this down by rounds since it was boring as shit. The abridged version is they clinch against the fence to 10 minutes. Red Horse tries two take downs and Sako blocks them by grabbing the fence. Josh Rosenthal warns him multiple times (3?) but doesn't take away a point. Sako's world class judo is bullshit without a gi. The coaches think it's going to a 3rd but the Judges score it for Sako across all cards. Sako thinks you have to take his head off to beat him, I think you just need to take away his hands so he can't grab the fence.

GSP and Dana are impressed by Horse and think he's got a shot at the wild card. Dana and the two coaches decide who gets the wild card. Marc Stephens and Aaron Wilkenson are the choices which means that Jeff Lentz is getting drunk. Horse isn't happy though.

And thus concludes the worst episode of this season.
