We had a one week break for the holiday and the show is back with a vengeance. We get back to back shows to finish up the season. The finale is on Saturday.

Dana says that no one wanted to push Matt Mitrione out of his spot and he was surprised.

Kimbo says he has a knee injury, but he doesn’t want to get a cortisone shot because he thinks it will screw him down the line. Dana says he never expected Kimbo to turn down the fight. I think Kimbo thinks McSweeney would just kick him in the knee all fight long.

Mitrione says he feels better and he’s ready to throw hands. He’s 100%. McSweeney says he’s just going to keep moving and wants to kick his head off for the knock out. That’s why this sport is so brutal. The guy had a near concussion and the other fighter’s game plan is to kick him right in the head. Scary stuff.

Mitrione admits that he was working his injury a bit to keep James off-guard. Awesome.

Scott Junk says his fighting career is over. He had two tears in his retina and had to get laser surgery. He doesn’t believe it.

Meat Head says he had brain swelling that turned into a migraine. He’s not sure if he wants to fight. He feels slow. Rashad thinks he had a concussion, he doesn’t think so.

Trevor Wittman thinks that Mitrione is making up excuses. Rashad says Mitrione has to want it more than Rashad and the team want it for him. McSweeney thinks that Matt is showing his true colors and it’s disrespectful to his opponent.

Rampage thinks that Kimbo can beat McSweeney if Mitrione pulls out. Kimbo hurt his knee rolling though. Rampage says if he was fighting Kimbo, he’d go right for the knee.

Brendan Schaub is facing Jon Madsen and and he thinks that Madsen is one-dimensional and he’s only looking for the takedown. He asked Rashad for help, but Rashad isn’t helping, so Big Country helped out as the defacto coach.

Kimbo is missing cartilage in his knee and is going to need to drain his knee. He doesn’t want to cortisone shot.

We are in the quarterfinals now.

Rashad says that his team isn’t going to do much coaching anymore because it would show a bias and he doesn’t want to do that to his guys.

Big Country thinks it’s weird to train next to the guy he’s going to fight.

Meat Head more than likely has a concussion. He says his eyes are sensitive to light. Justin thinks he’s milking it a bit. Titties thinks he might be dehydrated. Brendan thinks it’s a concussion too and everyone thinks Kimbo is coming back into the tournament.

They showed a lot of training with Kimbo and Kimbo says that he’s just adding more tools to his tool belt. Rashad is all for Kimbo coming back to replace Meat Head, if need be.

In a scene straight out of WWE, Team Rampage put a bunch of chickens (cocks) in Rashad’s car. Then, straight out of Rocky, Team Rashad tried to chase and catch the chickens. Rampage was surprised that Rashad wasn’t pissed.

Dana came to the house and says it’s up to the doctor for whether Meat Head is going to fight. Scott Junk also wants the spot if Matt can’t go. Matt says he might’ve had concussions from football too.

Why does Scott Junk talk like BJ Penn?

They replay Rampage tearing out the door after hearing that Scott Junk lost. My DVR cut this part off the first time, so this is my first time seeing him destroy it.

He says that he hates when he loses his temper because he feels ashamed. He says that he wanted to apologize to the door, but it was too late.

Wes is going to throw Matt a party for winning the fight and Matt is hurt and exhausted. Wes shot him with silly string. Matt was sleeping and told him that his brain was rattled and to stop playing.

Marcus Jones is the last man standing for Team Rampage. Rampage says if Marcus loses, he may annihilate the walls like he did the door.

Mike Wessel’s wife has cancer and being away from her is hard for him. Wessell says he fought Antoni Hardonk last year and he thinks that because he fought hard, that’s what helped him get on the show.

Marcus says that he was good enough to play in the NFL, but he was never a student of the game. He wants to be a student of the game in fighting.

Team Rashad drew pictures of Marcus and Mike wrote, “Sucks balls” at the bottom and Marcus got butt hurt and pouted. Marcus says he’s not holding back and he’s going to take someone’s arm home with him.

Rashad apologized to Titties and said they need to make up. He hugged him, but didn’t stop calling him Titties. Then he squeezed his chest and Titties got mad and tried to measure up on him. I’ve never laughed so hard watching this show.

Rampage and Rashad continue to make fun of each other being knocked out, which seems kind of odd when you think about it being that this is a violent sports.

Rampage calls Evans, “Gayshad” while he calls Rampage, “Wahhhmpage, the whiny bitch.” These guys are getting too immature.

Rashad picks the fight and it’s Matt Mitrione, aka “Meathead” versus Scott Junk. Dana says he’ll take the fighter over the NFL guy (Mitrione) any day.

That makes the last fight between Mike Wessell and Marcus Jones.

Rashad tells Rampage that he’s going to make him quit. They get into it seriously and it gets ugly. It’s an awesome segment to set up a fight. Too bad they won’t fight for a while.

Junk says that Mitrione told him that the reason they’re fighting is because Wessell was scared to fight Junk. It went back to Junk and Wessell says it didn’t happen that way at all.

Rashad brings in Phil Nurse to help the guys work on their stand-up.

McSweeney rats Darrill out and tells Rashad that he drinks too much. Rashad tells him it’s killing his conditioning. Rashad thinks he’s a diamond in the rough.

Darrill tells Rampage that he’ll cut to 205 and beat Rampage too. Rampage says that the only thing he’ll win is a wet t-shirt contest.

Rashad picks Darril to fight Zak Jensen.

Darrill gets in Rashad’s face and Rashad tells him that if he walks up on him again, he’ll be in trouble.

Rashad tells him that it’s all about disrespect. Rampage says he’s doing it to have a good time. Dana White says he might just want to be ok with the joking.

Team Rampage picks on Zak and are pushing him hard and they think he’s going to snap.

Rashad says that Darrill has a serial killer look. He says he also has some hands and wants him to push Zack up against the cage and just let the hands go.

Rashad is enjoying his 4-0 start, but doesn’t want to get ahead of himself.

Matt Mitrione says he jarred his shoulder up in practice. He tried to play through it and wants to get a cortisone shot. Rashad says it’s a bad idea to get a cortisone shot.

Marcus says he wants to fight next. He was trying to goad Rashad into putting his guy within him next.

Rampage says this losing streak is messing with his sex life.

He was teaching his guys the wall walk which is trying to scale the cage while being in your guard and Zak can’t do it. Zak says he gets frustrated on his back, which pretty mean means that he’s getting subbed this season. Rampage says if Zak’s fighting for him, he won’t get his hopes up too much.

Wes Sims says that he rolled his ankle in the shower because Zak sploogied on the shower floor. Zak says he didn’t do it. The guys say that he can’t joke around and he’s socially awkward. Brenden says he shouldn’t even be on the show.

Rashad calls Matt out for his shoulder and says that he’s got to practice first before he can fight. Because of his shoulder, he hasn’t been able to spar and train. The rest of the guys think he’s going to get out of dodge at the first chance.

A few of the guys were impressed with Kimbo’s improved game. They’re putting him over big time.

After the fight, Big Country talked trash to Rampage and Rampage pushed him away.

Kimbo says he only needs two more weeks and he’s going to have an answer for everything.

Marcus is sick and Kimbo thought he got out of the sauna, but he said he was just sweating. Brendan thinks it’s because Marcus isn’t used to training all day long and his body is shutting down. Kimbo wants to be “tagged” in if Marcus can’t do it.

Rashad says that with the right coaching, he thinks they can sweep the preliminary round.

Rashad let one of his fighters take a different fight because he didn’t want to fight his best friend in the house. Rashad didn’t want to be a hypocrite because he won’t ever fight Keith Jardine.

I have to apologize because my DVR wasn’t set to record this show (of all shows) for whatever reason, but I double checked it and had to manually record it. I missed the first few minutes.

Rampage and Rashad are arguing because Rampage thinks that Rashad ducked him in March, but Rashad said he was supposed to fight him in May so really he ducked him. Then Rampage went with the bad breath jokes. He said that it was really Rashad’s breath that knocked out Chuck Liddell.

Rampage saw James McSweeney shaking his head and Rampage wanted to know what he was shaking his head for. They nearly went nose to nose before Rashad jumped in.

They talk about Kimbo’s beard and how long it took him to grow it. Rampage asks him if he’s a Black Jewish because he wears the cap on his head. Rampage says Kimbo is humble.

Rampage wanted Kimbo to work with someone bigger in mount defense because Roy Nelson’s stomach is so big.

Marcus Jones walked off the mat because his knee hurt and Rampage wanted to push his fight out and Marcus blew up because he didn’t want to get skipped.

The guys are ragging on Marcus for being sensitive. The house calls him Big Baby. He says he’s a softy at heart.

Marcus and Kimbo talk about Kimbo’s street fight tapes and they look like they’re getting along pretty well.

Kimbo weighed in at 230 and Nelson weighed in at 264.

Rashad says that even though Roy looks out of shape, he’s not out of shape. He says he’s one of the best guys on the ground and can bang a bit.

Rampage let his hair grow a bit so that he could leave some hair around the side like Kimbo’s.

Roy says he’s paid his dues more than Kimbo, but he knows Kimbo is going to bring it. Roy just wants to get it to the ground.

Roy Nelson vs. Kimbo Slice

Kimbo thinks he’s a marked man in the house. He wants to prove himself. Roy Nelson wants Kimbo and thinks he can beat him.

Rampage says he sees a little bit of himself in Kimbo and wants to give him some things that helped him.

Rashad thinks that Roy Nelson makes a lot of excuses and goofs off a lot. One of Rashad’s coaches says he’s uncoachable and asks him if he wants to work his own corner and get knocked out by Andrei Arlovski again. Nelson agreed to listen and be coachable.

Rampage chooses Rashad’s number one pick James to fight against Wes Shivers. Rashad looks pretty happy.

James says real fighters don’t choose to fight. Fighting chooses them.

Rashad’s team went overtime with their training and Rampage said that he should’ve pulled down his pants and farted on them. He called it the “ghetto blaster”.

They play up Wes as a nice story, but as a Johnny come lately, while James is portrayed as a real fighter.
