The Slide Continues: Team Rampage Falls to 0-7
By Josh Stein on Oct 29, 2009
This season of The Ultimate Fighter continues to make history with Team Rampage falling to 0-7 in the opening round. This will make Rampage the first team ever to be in the position to get shut out going into the final match of the first round, and they will (at least) tie for the worst opening round record in the history of the show.
Tonight, Matt Mitrione (0-0 MMA) beat the guy Team Rampage seemed to consider their great hope in winning the tournament: Scott Junk (6-2-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC). With only one fight left, the final matchup is going to be Team Rampage’s resident mammoth, the 6’6 +280 pounds Marcus Jones (4-1 MMA), against UFC veteran (but Team Rashad’s last pick) Mike Wessel (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC).
I guess Rampage can count one win, after TKOing the locker room door early in teh first round.

I disagree with Dana White, that fight was horrible. Both fighters have no business in the UFC. I really think that there’s no reason why you should run out of gas, especially within the first 5 minutes.
Matt Mitrione really needs to learn how to fight like some one with an 8-inch reach advantage.
I really don’t care whether or not Team Rampage wins or loses a match. He just ended up choosing fighters with limited skills and experience. Personally I would have chosen Roy Nelson before any other fighter. Wes Sims? What a joke. If Big Baby Marcus Jones loses via KO, TKO, or submission, I am not going to be surprised. I just hope that next week the fight begins before 10:40pm, then at least I know there will be some serious competitive action.
Rampage vs. the cardboard door?
Stupid, really stupid, but that’s the kind of thing I expect from Quinton Jackson.
Evans? While the show is making him look like decent . . . why bother engaging Rampage in senseless banter? He’s not setting an example and looking hypocritical. Oh well, I guess its entertainment.
