TUF 10: Heavyweights "16 Sharks" Episode Six Re-Cap

TUF 10: Heavyweights Episode Six “16 Sharks”

Team Rashad is up 5-0 on Team Rampage and looks to continue their domination after Justin Wren submitted veteran Wes Sims last week.

Rashad Evans has a special treat for his team as he brought in one of the guys who trains GSP to work with his team (Phil Nurse). Rashad has to have a sit down with Darrill Schoonover about his drinking. Rashad says it’s affecting his conditioning. Rampage and Schoonover get into a little bit of a verbal sparring session which ends up with Schoonover saying he wants to drop down to 205 and take on Rampage.

Team Rashad maintains the control of the fights and Rashad picks Schoonover against Zak Jensen. Rampage keeps riding Rampage and they have another verbal altercation which almost escalates to more. Rashad made sure that he stepped in for his guy.

Zak Jensen seems to be catching a lot of flack from the rest of the house members. Zak got cut during a sparring session and Kimbo was shown doing a fist bump in the back and was excited about possibly getting another shot. Jensen’s mans up and doesn’t let the cut affect him.

Heavyweight Fight- Darrill Schoonover (10-0) vs. Zak Jensen (7-2)

Jensen has a 2” height and 4” reach advantage.

R1- Darrill started to land some good knees and then landed several punches but Jensen was able to clinch him and then Darrill pulled guard and went for a triangle. Jensen hit several hammer fists. Darrill went back to the triangle choke but he didn’t have a good angle and Jensen landed some punches but Darrill was able to get a better grip on the submission and finished the fight. This was one of the better fights on the show so far even though it wasn’t very long.

Winner: Darrill Schoonover by Submission (Triangle Choke) R1

Only Scott Junk and Marcus Jones are left for Team Rampage. Scott Junk seems like the guy they’ve been talking about on Team Rampage that might be able to end Team Rashad’s run of terror on Team Rampage.
