“When we last left the cape crusaders in Gotham City, Batman and Robin were smack in the middle of an ugly feud with…” OOPS! Wrong Channel. TV Land is just too close to Spike on the dial.

When we last left the caged ring in the middle of Sin City, Rampage Jackson was pitching a fit as his team had lost again, a controversial decision rendered in Team Forrest’s favor yet again.

Episode 8 of “The Ultimate Fighter” opens with a recap of Cale Yarbrough’s Majority Decision victory over Patrick Schultz from Episode 7. Dana White explains the close fight not going to a third round because Yarbrough dominated the second round, and he agreed with two of the judges who scored it 10-8 for the Team Forrest fighter.

“Pat laid on his back the whole round, and just got pounded, so I scored it 10-8 for Cale just like the judges.”

Spike replays Patrick Schultz insulting Forrest Griffin as Cale’s hand is raised,

“Get back to your corner, I can’t wait for your fight with Rampage”.

Rampage is seen bolting from the gym warning Forrest,

“I’ll bet our fight doesn’t go to a decision!”.

Normally mild mannered Forrest finally snaps after being treated like Rodney Dangerfield for the last time. His team has dominated Team Rampage, winning 6 of 7 fights, and he has had enough of the lack of respect.

Forrest’s temper is percolating. As he stomps off to the locker room ready to blow, the camera shows Forrest reflecting about his post fight antics,

“Rampage is Rampage, I’m Temper Tantrum”

Forrest rips at his t-shirt and yells at the top of his lungs as he delivers a spinning back kick to a locker room door, completely destroying it. All attention is on Forrest as the rest of the gym chimes in with colorful analysis of Forrest’s tantrum,

“He Donkey Konged that door”

“I can’t believe he Lebans (referring to UFC fighter Chris Leban) the door”

Dana White is especially loving the made for TV drama, “In the history of the Ultimate Fighter, nobody has ever hurt the gym before”.

Forrest finally calms down and sits on the couch, but warns his fighters that they better keep Pat Schultz away from him,

“You better keep Schultzy away from me”,

But, literally as the words are coming out of his mouth, Schultz enters the dressing room and apologizes for disrespecting Forrest and the drama is defused.

TUF HOUSE

Matt Riddle and CB Dollaway are sitting at the kitchen table talking about the upcoming final preliminary fight between CB and Team Forrest fighter Nick Klein. While the big headed CB sits across the table looking bad*ss in his designer shades, Riddle, over a bowl of cereal, is telling CB how great he is and how no one in the house wants to face him. As if the ‘big headed’ CB needs pumping up! Riddle make his prediction,
