TUF 7 "Episode 4"--- Recap
Page 2 of 6:    <<  Prev   1    2    3    4    5    6   Next  >>
Not sure how much Rampage likes Forrest yet, but he does give him props, kind of, sort of, when he tells the camera,

"Forrest looks stupid, but he's not as stupid as he looks".

With the training heating up, Rampage and his trainers focus on Paul Bradley's replacement, Patrick Schultz. They figure Forrest will pick him as their weakest link to fight this week. Though everyone sincerely seems to like Schultz, he hasn't garnered much respect since being given a second chance. Rampage predicts that Forrest might put his #1 pick, Jiu-Jitsu black belt Tim Credeur up against Schultz. He then warns Schultz,

"If I can submit you in practice, you better... cause I suck at Jiu-Jitsu."

Schultz gets the point and to his credit, doesn't seemed fazed by the wariness of his coach.

TUF HOUSE

Back out the house, the fighters have a few more laughs at Jesse Taylor's expense. Jeremy may thinks he has a fungus problem on his body and sprays him with a can of Tinactin.

Matt Riddle talks with some of his teammates about how he thinks Forrest might not choose their easiest fighter. We start to get the feeling that it might not be Schultz's week afterall. Riddle keeps talking about how badly he wants to fight, so he can get it over with and relax.

FIGHT ANNOUNCEMENT

Riddle's instincts prove prophetic when Forrest picks him to fight his # 1 fighter, Jiu-Jitsu black belt Tim Credeur. So, we go from a so-so fight to TEAM FORREST's # 1 vs TEAM RAMPAGE's # 2.

Credeur is all business,

"I'm here to get better. No offense to Pat Schultz , but he's not going to get me better."

At this point in the show Schultz must feel like Rodney Dangerfield, "No Respect". Credeur then starts calling Riddle out. He rails aginst Riddle's age (22 years old) and refers to him as a kid over and over again,

"He's got kid strength. I'm going to exert some man strength on him".

"I think the kid is riding high on the dream ever since he beat Simmler, and I'm going to beat the dream right out of him!".

Riddle as usual seems aloof. He talks about staying unemotional. His strategy in his mind is simple: big right hand, single-leg take downs, and take-down defense. He also likes to relish in the underdog role, and mentions how unlike the other guys he doesn't train with some big training camp,

"I train at the Rat Pack".

RIDDLE TRAINING

We cut to Rampage and Riddle working a trainer's gloves with his heavy right hand and rolling some Jiu-Jitsu defense on the mat. Riddle is working hard and appears to have a lot he wants to prove.
