Note: Hawai'i's Scott Junk, a contestant on the reality show "Ultimate Fighter Heavyweights," comments on Episode 6:
Wednesday's show started with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Darrill Schoonover talking smack to each other (over a nickname Jackson gave Schoonover). With Rampage, he's always about joking and laughing. If Schoonover didn't like (the nickname), he should have said something to Rampage, like I don't appreciate you calling me (the nickname). But instead he started running his mouth and getting nasty and when you run your mouth with Rampage he's going to run his mouth back.
Schoonover decided to walk up on Rampage knowing he really wasn't gonna do anything. He's lucky because he would have no chance with Rampage.
Then the cameras turned to Zak Jensen. I don't have much to say about Zak! During training that day, Zak got cut over the right eye. Kimbo Slice was so happy — he thought for sure he was back in (the competition)!
But the doctors stitched Zak up good and he was able to fight (Schoonover). There's a lot of editing that goes on because that cut happened before he was even picked.
As for the fight, I don't have much to say. If you noticed at the end of the fight, when Zak was supposedly unconscious, he pulled both hands to his head then stood up. Anybody who knows anything about jiu-jitsu knows when you're choked out, you don't just rub your head and get up ... you're out! There's not much to say about the fight itself so stay tuned for next week's battle.
