We start with a recap of last week's episode, with Ryan McGillivray beating Len Bentley by decision. Team Dos Santos is working hard. They all think they work harder than Team Lesnar. Brock Lesnar returns from his trip home. He was disappointed that Len lost, but wants to work harder to ensure that doesn't happen again.
Chuck O'Neil is the house prankster. He seems to be a good guy to have around, to help ease any tension. Of course, those type of guys can also create tension very easily. It's a fine line to walk. Junior Dos Santos has the fight pick control back and choose Ramsey Nijem from his team to fight Charlie Rader from Team Lesnar. Charlie is supposed to be a great wrestler, something that Team Dos Santos may be underestimating.
Ramsey has his toenails painted. To each his own. He also watches Glee. The rest of the house gives him a rough time about that. He also runs around naked. Ew. He's the ice-breaker of the house. Shamar Bailey is his roommate and he's getting more comfortable around Ramsey. He's always joking around and easing the tension. Some of the other guys in the house are talking with Ramsey. Team Lesnar thinks Charlie will walk right through Ramsey. We'll see about that. Ramsey is supposed to be a good wrestler.
Matt Hughes comes into guest coach for Team Lesnar. The team is really into Hughes being there. Matt really seems to be helping the guys. Matt said he enjoyed training with the guys.
Ramsey is training hard with Junior. Ramsey is going to rely on the fact that he's been in wars during his career, something that he says Charlie hasn't had. Ramsey thinks he's the best in the house. I expect him to feel that way, but he really shouldn't say that. That leads to overconfidence.
Charlie is training hard with Brock. Charlie believes that Ramsey will try to take him down and grind out the win. Brock and his coaches are confident in Charlie and his chances to winning. Chuck is helping Charlie with his nutrition. Charlie and Chuck are talking about not underestimating Ramsey. That's good, hopefully that doesn't happen. At least for his sake.
Both guys weigh in with no problems. At the weigh-in Brock notices that Ramsey paints his toenails. Brock begs Charlie to beat Ramsey. Charlie says he'll beat him. Chuck thinks Charlie will knock Ramsey out quickly. Fight Day comes and everyone heads to the gym. Both guys feel good about their chances. Ramsey and the others in the Team Dos Santos van make fun of the mean-mugging aspect of the weigh-in. Charlie wants to get a finish, the first this season. Ramsey says he's going to continually come forward and that Charlie won't have a chance to breathe.
FIGHT- Ramsey Nijem vs. Charlie Rader
Charlie is 3 inches taller but the reach is the same for both fighters. Herb Dean is the referee.
ROUND 1- Ramsey rushes forward and pushes Charlie against the cage. Charlie with a knee to the body. Another knee. They're still against the cage. Both guys are trading knees to the body. Both guys are doing a little, but not a lot. Ramsey hits Charlie low with a knee. They restart right away. Ramsey throws a few punches, then rushes forward and they're on the cage again. They're trading some shots. Ramsey with a few knees to the leg. Charlie starts to fight his way free, but then Ramsey gets a takedown. Charlie starts to get up, then does. They're up against the cage again. Ramsey with another takedown. I think he actually should score points with that takedown since Charlie didn't get immediately up this time. The first one shouldn't count for much because Charlie got right back up. The round ends with Ramsey on top.
ROUND 2- They start swinging early in this round. They get up against the cage, and Ramsey takes Charlie down. Charlie gets back up, but Ramsey has his back. Charlie reverses, but then Ramsey reverses that. Ramsey gets his hooks in and starts working towards a rear-naked choke. He slaps it on fast, and this is over. Charlie tapped so fast it was unbelievable.
WINNER- Ramsey Nijem by Rear-Naked Choke
Ramsey showed that the house had him pegged all wrong. They all thought he was a good-time joker, but he showed he was an animal. Brock says that Charlie was intimidated by Ramsey. Brock said the fight was over before it began, when Charlie saw the look in Ramsey's eyes.
Dana White says that Charlie gave up. Brock is pissed that Charlie tapped so fast. I don't know what got into Charlie there, to be honest. Even Ramsey made mention of Charlie not wanting to be here apparently. Ramsey and Junior dance in the locker room. Brock is pissed and starts cussing up a Dana White-storm. Len Bentley steps out from the lecture because he says he worked his ass off.
That was a fairly good fight. I was surprised Charlie tapped so quickly though. Maybe something else happened I didn't see, but it looked awfully fast. Ramsey looks to be the real deal. He might be a contender, he looked good in there.
NEXT WEEK- Len is pissed about Brock's lecture
