The Ultimate Fighter 8 Episode 8 Recap
WARNING: SPOILERS INCLUDED
The 155-pound tournament resumes this week as two of the remaining four lightweights clash to secure a spot in the semis.
Team Nogueira has been pilaging Tom Lawlor’s fruit trays while Team Mir has been eating Phillipe Nover’s sushi. Each squad devises a plan to punish the other with Team Mir peeing in the fruit tray and Team Nogueira depositing some sperm onto the sushi. In one of the grosser moments ever broadcast both teams, as anticipated, proceed to down the tainted food.
At fight selection Team Mir chooses Dave Kaplan to face Phillipe Nover in this week’s lightweight contest.
At the Team Mir training session Junie Browning is angry that his team won’t train with him, so he decides to share some details on Kaplan with his opponent Nover.
In the fight Nover is dominant from the beginning, connecting with a barrage of strikes before dropping Kaplan to the canvas. On the ground Nover quickly finishes his opponent off with some ground and pound followed by a rear naked choke.
The teams now sit even at 3-3 and next week it’s Team Mir’s Krzysztof Soszynski against Kyle Kingbury in the final light heavyweight quarterfinals bout.

and now the “fun and games” have officially gone too far, i was trying to eat breakfast this morning when i watched that…nover looked good tho
Most disgusting TUF ever. This makes the upper decker look tame.
And I heard that Kaplan got his revenge but they didn’t show it.
I think Kaplan’s was kind of funny. “I wanted to let him hit me to show him that he couldn’t hurt me.” Too bad he got shown that Nover could hurt him. For whatever reason it didn’t seem like Kaplan showed up to fight, he may be better than what he showed, but I don’t have a lot of respect for guys that get pwned and then say “I still think I’m the better fighter.”
In regards to Junie (and Vinny a little) it seems like Mir opening his mouth in front of everyone about who he thinks is going to win has been really detrimental to his team.
The whole situation with the food is gross, but it serves people right for eating food that doesn’t belong to them.
That was the worst episode of TUF I’ve ever seen. Absolutely disgusting juvenile fratboy behavior. Ridiculous. I’m done watching the lead-up to to the fights. Terrible.
lol why are u guys so disgusted by that stuff!
Its funny if things like that didnt happen the show would suck other then the fights..
It would be just watching guys sitting around talking
Bunch of morons. Where are the people who were defending these little children and their pranks by saying stupid stuff like “it’s just blowing off steam”, etc? If I was Dana I would kick everyone who participated in that fiasco off the show and make sure they never fight for the UFC again. This goes well beyond a prank, it’s downright dangerous and could put people’s lives at risk.
@ java… but funny
disgusting yes….hard to eat my breakfast while watching yes…..lives at risk no
yeah it is repulsive. never been fond of the pranks. it is childish. prob why i don’t like krzysztof…
By far the funniest episode of TUF to come out. I’ve never laughed so hard watching an episode as i did last night, serves them right for eating other peoples food that they special order for themselves, i woulda done the same thing. As for Kaplan, I agree, what a douche to say he is the better fighter after getting killed in under a minute
@southcakalak
How do you think STD’s are spread?
the pranks are retarded, but really why F with a mans food in the first place…. no reason to eat their fruit plate or sushi… it isnt your food dont touch it, i thought that was a unwritten rule that i would say 90% of people who have had roomates knew, owell whatever
Junie throwing a fit because noone would role with him, whatever did it justify telling Nover how to fight Kaplan probably not but hey this is a competition to see who is the best in the house and Kaplan clearly wasnt
Oh hell, we have Gooners here?
I watched that and thought it was the foulest hour of basic cable I’ve seen in a while. At least since The Biggest Loser.
@ adam
Uh, because pissing and jerking off onto food so someone else will eat it is disgusting. Unless you’re into spunk toast… But stay tuned for next weeks show, Adam, when we get to see Kaplan **** on something or someone. Cause it’s funny, ya know. Just like Manswers. For the season finale, instead of fights, they should have the Jackass boys come over for some really fun pranks.
sexually transmitted diseases are spread sexually….ur point?
wow i didnt kno that grown men werent allowed to play pranks on one and other. these were funny albeit disgustin but funny none the less. if i was one of these guys id b playin pranks too. pranks r funny and the ones this past week while disgustin were damn good pranks. those r the kind of pranks that even after u find out u ate piss u cant b mad. now if someone says stop screwin wit me then its time to stop but as long as everyones laughin bout it let it go. notice how effrain didnt like the itchin powder and gettin his pillow pissed on and since then they have let him b? it obvious these guys dont have a problem wit it. mayb im immature but screw it it was funny and aslong as no ones gettin hurt let it continue. and for the guy that said something bout stds last season they kicked the guy wit herpes off so im pretty sure if u have an std that can b spread ur not allowed in the house.
..things only get worse in the house ..tom will KO dave in the house toilets and im pretty sure junie will gets his 3rd warning from dana for eating kyles poo
As usual thanks to work I am a day behind and a lot of good points have already been made. I would like to start this fight recap off with a few words to the patrons of this site. Obviously I will use a Haiku as the vehicle that drives my words.
I found the frezy.
Sherdog is a donkey show.
Frenzy is pound 4 pound champ.
Dave “little drummer boy” Kaplan marches to the center of the ring to touch gloves (after the fight we find out that this was his only offensive move he had planned).
Phillipe “Gaylord Focker” Nover starts off the action by ending the fight via facial reconstruction surgery and an eyebrow lift.
Frank Mir is seen in the background bonging 11 beers with the boys from team Mir Alpha Beta. Mir then gives Delgado a wedgie and fails to study for his world civilizations exam. Kaplan then explains to Mir that although he got beat up by a nurse he still knows all his state capitols.
Now that is funny Joesama.
@southcakalak
And what exactly do you think spunk is fool? People CAN and DO get STD’s from transmission of bodily fluids, whether it’s through sex or ingestion of sexual fluids. Therefore, consuming someone else’s baby batter CAN spread STD’s.
Go take a health class. Seriously.
Fighters who are on the show obviously have passed a full medical workup and have no STDs. Urine is sterile. If having someone swollow your semen is putting peoples lives at risk I am the attempted murderer of many women
..also drinking urine got luke cummo to the season 2 finale, so its gotta be a good thing
Anyone else think that Nover is the “Anderson Silva-like” 155er. He’s now my pick to win (at least get to the finals).
Yeah, you must be right because a HIV test ALWAYS shows a person is infected right away, there’s NEVER been an instance of someone testing clean and then coming back positive 6 months later.
Java,
Based on the case you put forth, I would argue that you can’t prove that they didn’t contract HIV in the 6 months between the first test and the second.
@Justin,
You can test completely clean, be celibate for 6 months, and then test positive. One clean test doesn’t mean anything. And to add to that, just as there are cases of false positives, there are also cases of false negatives.
Someone willingly ingesting it is one thing, putting it in people’s food is something entirely different, even if it was “his own” food, he knew the other dude was going to eat it. Moronic fast food workers get charged for assault when they spit in someone’s food.
Java,
The answer I have to that is that they shouldn’t been eating his food. If someone attempts to rob a store, and the store owner shoots them, is the store owner in the wrong for defending themselves and their property, or the robber in the wrong, and therefore at fault for their own death, for attempting to rob the store? Stealing food is stealing, and stealing is stealing no matter how large or small, if they choose to eat food that doesn’t belong to them, then any consequences that result from that are their own fault.
