The Ultimate Fighter 8- Episode 5 Re-Cap
Team Noguiera vs. Team Mir

The first segment deals with last weeks fight and Junie jumping the cage and everything that ensued afterwards. Junie looks like he has learned nothing so far from what has happened and seems doomed to repeat his sins and mistakes over and over.

Second segment has Anderson Silva and he trains with Big Nog’s guys! Back at the house Krzysztof is up to more hijinks and puts Efrain’s underwear in the freezer. Then they went and put itching powder in Efrain, Kyle, Phillipe, and Rolando’s bed.

Next up is the Light Heavyweight Fight announcement. Big Nog gets to choose the match-up. He matches Eliot Marshall (Team Mir) against Shane Primm (Team Nog).

Team Nog retaliates against Team Mir by opening up some cans of sardines and rubbing them all over Team Mir’s room. Most of the guys from Team Mir take it pretty well knowing that it is retaliation but Vinny gets pretty mad and goes and pisses on Efrain’s bed (he was the only one not in bed). This is definitely the Animal House season of TUF.

Big Nog is not happy about the “games” being played in the house as one of his fighters looks real tired in training. He tried to talk to Mir, but Mir brushes him off. Big Nog goes to the house to talk to the guys.

Light Heavyweight Fight- Eliot Marshall vs. Shane Primm

R1- Marshall got a take down about 20 seconds into the fight and then quickly mounted Primm. Primm gave up his back and Marshall went for a choke. After a couple of minutes of not being able to get the choke, Marshall finally clamped it in and taped Primm. Marshall really just dominated the fight. Marshall got great position early, but it really took him a lot longer than it should have to finish the fight based on the position that he had gained.

Winner: Eliot Marshall by Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R1
