How to Save TUF: “Junie Watching”
By Curtis Clontz on Oct 16, 2008
All across America people tuned in to the weekly showing of The Ultimate Fighter in what could be better named Junie watching! Thousands of people watched to see Junie jump the cage and as a result get the boot from the show, but instead, he received a stern talking to from Frank Mir and that seemed to be the end of it. He did make some rather interesting remarks saying coming on the show was the worst decision he ever made. Junie for sure is providing some needed excitement to the show that many think is on the decline.
The show was not one without drama but after the first 10 minutes it was without Junie drama. After the cage incident the show quickly turned to the best fighter in the world, as he seemed to put on nothing short of a training clinic full of some of the quickest kicks and striking you will ever see. Silva helped Team Nog train and get ready for the upcoming fight. Nog’s team had control and he decided to place Shane Primm vs. Eliot Marshall. This fight was supposed to be a knock down drag out exciting fight but it the complete opposite! Marshall took control very fast after a wild rush by Primm which led to the fighters being on the mat. Marshall landed in side control and before you knew it he had the mount. A few seconds later he had Primm’s back and eventually sank in the choke. Eliot Marshall proved that he is a force and is not to be ignored in this tournament for the contract.
As you could imagine Dana White has said that this is the best season ever. It does tend to have a bit more excitement in the house, and the fights look like they will be better than last season. Tune in next week for more Junie watching!
