The Ultimate Fighter Intro: Redux

With an unexpected afternoon off work and a new musical discovery (Dead Can Dance), I boshed together my own take on the TUF intro.

TUF Shit… Series 7, episode 1,00,6,4999.1b

In a radical change of pace for the series, the show opens with a montage. First, the screen is black. Hard rock musics plays hard, most likely Aerosmith. A bald eagle smashes through the screen sending shards of glass into your eyes. The image explodes to reveal Dana White wearing a stars and stripes unitard [...]

The Ultimate Fighter Season 7 Blogathon!

Episode 2.
This episode was great. There was a bunch of really shit fights.
The last fight was pretty good. One guy had a beard.
Then Dana White sent half the people home to no jobs, no cars and probably no girlfriends!
The one-minute preview for the season actually looked pretty good. There seems [...]
