Zuffa has a long, proud tradition of putting on UFCs where the main event of the night is also by far the least competitive fight on the card. Luckily for them, most fight fans are the kind of people who watch ‘The Dudesons’ and are too busy riding a bobsled off their own roof to notice the shenanigans that the UFC marketing department is pulling. Now, the marketing hypnotists who brought you Ortiz vs. Shamrock, Franklin vs. Quarry, and Hughes vs. Gracie are at it again. Sure they’ll tell you that Ortiz is on a winning streak, and unbeaten in five fights, but they won’t tell you that those five fights were 1) A three round decision over a chubby Patrick Cote 2) A controversial split decision over Vitor Belfort. 3) Another mucho-“iffy” split decision over Forrest Griffen and 4) & 5) two back to back beat-downs of Ken Shamrock, who is the fighting-equivalent of the old, broken furniture that you see sitting beside dumpsters in the back alley. |

In other action, Din Thomas made his UFC return a successful one defeated Rich Clementi in a hard fought battle, and Scott Smith rattled Pete Sell in the most entertaining fight of the card. |

Once again it’s Thursday, and like any other I’m expecting to get home from training and watch the Ultimate Fighter. Only this week, something is different. I can’t really put my finger on it, and then it finally hits me: This is the final episode. Wow, what a major revelation…except big news like that shouldn’t be delivered like a John Kerry joke. Overall, this season was a big letdown. It didn’t feature any truly barn-burning wars, there were zero knockouts, and in my opinion the best parts of the show happened outside of the Octagon. |

The last few weeks have provided Victor Valimaki with some of the greatest moments of his life. He became a father for the second time and then less than a week later, "The Matrix" captured the MFC Light Heavyweight crown when he manhandled Jason Day at MFC 10 - Unfinished Business. |

 With this season of The Ultimate Fighter winding down, one would be inclined to think that the show would start picking up the pace. A season this dull really deserves to end on a bang, and hopefully the upcoming Middleweight Semi finals deliver on that.
