Team Noguiera vs. Team Mir

Frank Mir gives Junie a good talking to after his victory. Krzysztof hurt his thumb in training (he’s one of the Light Heavyweight’s that still hasn’t fought since getting into the house). Mir takes his guys through some interesting cardio work and they hype Vinny as the best jiu jitsu guy in the house.

Jules and Phillipe bake Big Nog cakes for his birthday and Team Nog cooks dinner and eats together.

Team Mir has control of the selection and they choose Vinny to fight Jules. Big Nog had been hinting early that this was the fight that he wanted as well. Big Nog and Vinny get into it later in the show about something that Big Nog heard Vinny was saying about him.

Light Heavyweight Fight- Jules Bruchez vs. Vinny Magalhaes

R1- Vinny has a 3” reach and height advantage and a much bigger mouth. Vinny hits some kicks early. Jules is not really doing anything at all. Vinny continues to hit some body kicks. Vinny went for an arm bar but Jules spun out of it and Vinny quickly got guard and trapped Jules in a submission and quickly tapped him out. Jules looked like he didn’t want to be in this fight and Vinny looked good.
