Welcome back for the third week of "The Ultimate Fighter." This episode is apparently called Death Leprechauns, which should make for an interesting episode. What does that mean? Will Team Miller make it 2-o? What happened to Miller's car? Read on for spoilers and a recap.
Technique of the week: Miller started out the practice by explaining the first rule of the Octagon: protect yourself at all times. He illustrated that by passing out pool noodles, and starting a noodle fight.
Prank of the week: Since Miller did a tire-related prank last week, Bisping removed the tires from Miller's car. Miller laughed it off, but it's clear that the prank war is just starting.
Stupidity of the week: At Bisping's practice, Marcus Brimage and Diego Brandao sparred a bit too hard. Brimage took it in stride, but Brandao took exception to it, threatening to kill Brimage. Bisping said that Brandao reminded Bisping of himself when he was on "The Ultimate Fighter," then thought it was necessary to say these fighters are not another way to call a cat a kitten. Bisping, as always, is a class act.
Fight pick of the week -- Johnny Bedford (Team Miller) vs. Josh Ferguson (Team Bisping): Ferguson expected that this fight would happen, and came equipped with a sign that said, "[Expletive] you, Bedford." At no point during their face-off did they stop jawing at one another.
Prank II of the week: Akira Corassani messed with everyone throughout the episode by putting birdseed and notes and pool balls in people's gloves, but then was displeased when Dustin Neace retaliated by putting rice in Corassani's bed. According to Corassani, messing with the bed is worse than messing with gloves, which led into unproductive trash talk. It goes on. And on. And on. And on. Annnnnnd on.
Alliance of the week: John Dodson, of Team Miller, and Diego Brandao, Louis Gaudinot, and Josh Ferguson of Team Bisping, are all buddies and have called themselves Team Leprechaun. That means that Bispng has a mole in Miller's camp. Oh goodie. Another spygate.
Fight of the night -- Johnny Bedford (Miller) vs. Josh Ferguson (Bisping)
Round 1: Ferguson wins the first exchange, but Bedford gets the first takedown. From the top position, Bedford landed elbows until Ferguson got back to his feet. Bedford managed another takedown, then maneuvered into north-south position. He tried for an armbar, but Ferguson got out of the hold. Before the round ended, Ferguson got one last takedown.
Round 2: The two focus on stand-up early in this round, with Ferguson landing flurries and Bedford throwing big kicks. After being clinched against the fence, Ferguson caught Bedford as he tried to throw a flying knee and took him to the ground.
Bedford won the unanimous decision, though he said he was disappointed that he didn't get the finish. That moves Miller to 2-o. Afterwards, Miller said that there was something wrong with Bedford's hand for the fight.
