That leaves Team Rampage # 1 fighter CB Dollaway to face Team Forrest # 7 fighter Nick Klein in the final preliminary bout next week.

As Spike shows Cale Yarbrough training, we get a little insight into what type of fighter he is from Coach Forrest,

“Cale has never heard of the concept of ground fighting. He just wants to stand and trade blows”.

Coach Rampage reflects on Yarbrough’s last fight and is not impressed,

“Cale Yarbrough, psst I’m not impressed… My momma could beat him”.

For his part, Yarbrough doesn’t think Schultz even deserves to still be on the show,

“He already lost, he doesn’t deserve to be here. I want to prove that.”

Schultz doesn’t share this idea and laughs at the notion that he shouldn’t be taken seriously,

“I’ve heard that I’m a sleeper, a dark horse, and I kind of laugh. I feel they fed Cale to the sharks. And I want to prove that… I practice Muay Thai, I have 10 pro fights”.

Rampage stokes the dark horse talk when he tells the camera,

“He gets some jiu-jitsu, some wrestling practice… He’s under the radar right now.”
