TUF 10: Heavyweights Episode Five

Team Rashad is up 4-0 on Team Rampage and looking to inflict more damage this week.

Wes Sims is not happy because he stepped on man juice in the shower. He blames Zak Jensen. Later on Sims and Zak were training and they just showed Jensen passed out and insinuated that Sims had submitted him. Coincidence or psychic phenomenon.

Matt Mitrione hurt his shoulder and wants to get a cortisone shot but Rashad says no. They tape his shoulder down during practice so he doesn’t hurt it more. Mike Wessel thinks he’s faking it so that he can fight less and avoid some of the harder guys.

Fight Announcement: Rashad picks Justin Wren to fight Wes Sims. Rashad says that Sims has more experience but Rashad feels that Wren is better in everything else. Wren fights under Travis Lutter when he’s not doing TUF. Sims trains with Mark Coleman and Kevin Randleman. Dana gives the advantage to Sims because he’s built more like a heavyweight.

Heavyweight Fight- Wes Sims (22-12-1) vs. Justin Wren (8-1)

Sims has a 7” height and 6” reach advantage.

R1- Wren went for a quick take down and clinched Sims against the cage but Sims got loose. Wren grabbed a clinch and got a take down. Wren passed the guard to mount and locked in a choke and the ref had to stop the fight as Sims passed out in the hold. Team Rampage is just horrible. I don’t know how with the great cornering that Rampage is giving. “Get up Wes, get up, get out Wes, get out of there”- Rampage

Winner: Justin Wren by Submission (Arm Triangle) R1

Dana comes away from the fight very impressed with Justin Wren. Says he doesn’t know what the hell happened to Wes Sims since he left the UFC but he got choked out quickly. Team Rashad is 5-0 with 3 first round fights left. Rampage’s first 4 picks have all been eliminated.
