In the pre-fight interviews both appear extremely confident. Zachrich sounds off about the damage he's going to inflict, and tries to psyche himself up with a number of insults aimed at his opponent's punkish hair style.
Once the fight begins Schultz gets off to a quick start by catching a kick from Zachrich and tossing him to the mat. But, instead of mounting he lets Zachrich stand. From that point on Zachrich imposes his will. After landing some nice combinations, the two clinch, before Zachrich takes Schultz to the mat, or as Rampage Jackson amusingly says about Schultz, "He took himself down".
Schultz tries to reverse his position a couple of times, but ends up with his arm trapped beneath him, and Zachrich pounds away at Schultz' unprotected face. Eventually, Zachrich mounts his confused opponent, who quickly gives up his back. The fight ends soon after when Zachrich clamps on a rear-naked choke to submit Schultz.
Timothy Credeur (10-2) vs Erik Charles (10-5)
The most dominant performance of the night belonged to Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Timothy Credeur.
Credeur gets a single-leg take down almost immediately. He maneuvers into Charles' half-guard, grabs an arm, peppers him with a couple of punches, and locks on an arm bar for the quick submission victory.
White, Griffin and Jackson all are very impressed, and seem to come to a consensus that he is the best Jiu-Jitsu guy in the tournament.
After another commercial for the climax of "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 7, the much anticipated Rampage Jackson vs Forrest Griffin fight at UFC 86 on July 5th, the next three fights are presented in a highlight package.
Brandon Sene (2-0) vs Aaron Meisner (2-0)
Feeling like he needed to be more active as a coach, Rampage Jackson decided to go up to the cage to help out an overmatched Aaron Meisner. But Rampage's advice fell on deaf ears, leading him to the frustrated conclusion that Meisner "doesn't listen". Gracie Tampa fighter and Marine Brandon "Sweet Dreams" Sene easily disposed of Meisner with a rear-naked choke hold mid-way through the first round.
Mike Marrello (7-1-1) vs Gerald Harris (6-2)
He's big, strong, fast and reminiscent of a slightly smaller Rampage Jackson. He's also a high school history teacher and a stand-up comedian. And now he is a member of the TUF house. Former IFL fighter Gerald Harris was just too strong for Team Jeff Curran fighter and King of the Cage veteran Mike Marrello.
