Yeah, France does have a UFC Champion. It's Francis Ngannou. Jesus Christ.

They also now have a number one contender to that title.

I haven’t heard Francis specifically talk about it — does he rep France as hard as Cameroon?

This, it’s sad to say he just can’t hang at the top anymore but he still has a lot to offer to the pure grappling world and deserves continued success there. Props to the alligator.

My first exposure to Bas Rutten was his self-defense DVD, long before I started watching MMA or had any context as to who he was - I put it on for the possible laughs from an amateurishly produced instructional video, instead what I got was half a tutorial on how to murder someone during a donnybrook and half a court-admissible confession of several felony assaults committed by Bas Rutten

Did the man ever have screws to loosen in the first place

The Ultimate Fighter recap

Episode 11: Snake Bitten

Team Volkanovski has rattled off 6 straight wins, including the first 2 of the semi-finals, netting one man in both the bantamweight and middleweight finals.

Ortega says he bought several "exotic pets" a few years ago, so he called his exotic pets guy to bring in a bunch of big ol snakes. Snake Prank! Snake Prank! Snake Prank! (Ortega seems to forget Volko is from Australia, where all animals are aggressive and dangerous, so I don't know how well this prank will play out. Ortega got pretty freaked out by the snakes that he brought in.

Cerrone comes in as a guest coach for Team Volk. His advice is "enjoy the ride" and that it's good to fight every week. Some of the guys on Team Volk note that they haven't had many interactions with Vincent, and Mitch Raposo tells them about his brain issue (HIPAA! THAT'S A HIPAA VIOLATION!)

Vincent thinks Brady doesn't conserve his energy well, so his plan is to take Hiestand to DEEP WATERS. Ortega doesn't want Vince to get pinned against the fence, or get tied up, always be moving. Vincent says he has a small tear in his MCL, so he hopes he doesn't have to strain his knees too much in this fight.

:siren:IT IS TIME FOR THE COACH'S CHALLENGE: CORN HOLE, PRESENTED BY HOWLER HEAD:siren:

Volkanovski does not know what corn hole is. Each coach gets 4 bean bags per turn. Each bag that lands on the board is 1 point, each bag that goes through the corn hole is 3 points. However, the points cancel each other out, so you need to out-score your opponent each turn to net points. Playing to 21.

Winning coach gets $10,000 and every fighter on the winning team gets a fat, juicy, life-altering $1,500. Christ.

Most of the early rounds are a wash, netting both guys 0 points each time. Finally in round 6, Ortega goes up 1-0. By round 11, he's up 6-0. Volk starts getting on the board by round 13. Ortega wins 21-11 in round 25. Ortega asks Dana for another $2k, and he gives his money to Team Volkanovski's fighters.

For Brady's fight prep, Volko is trying to keep Brady aware of the counters and check hooks that Vincent will be looking for.

This The Ultimate Fighter Flashback presented by Toyo Tires is... TUF 20: A Champion will Be Crowned, the inaugural Strawweight/all women season! Remember when Rose had long hair? Remember when Carla Esparza was A Thing? TUF Flashback Presented by Toyo Tires (Official Tires of UFC) sure does!

Vincent calls up his wife, and he's eager to come home to see her. Brady's call home is to his mom and his brother. Brady's brother has just one question: Has Brady rolled with Craig Jones??? Yes, Brady rolls with Craig Jones every day, my dude! His mom reminds Brady to Be Unpredictable.

Tale of the Tape

Brady Hiestand
Age: 22
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 134.5lbs
Reach: 71"

Vincent Murdock
Age: 30
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 136.0lbs
Reach: 64.5"

Round 1

Brady throwing kicks, Vincent with straight punches. Brady shoots a takedown, gets it and is working to pass guard. Vincent does a good job of defending. Brady manages to pass to the side, with Vincent laying against the fence, getting trapped a bit. Vincent works back to guard, lands a solid upkick.

Brady passes to side control again, landing good ground and pound. Vincent with some solid punches from bottom. Vincent tries to explode, but Brady forces him back down. Vincent almost gives up his back, but is just getting punched. Brady takes back mount and lands a barrage of punches to get the stoppage.

Winner, by first round TKO, Brady Hiestand.

Vincent says he blew out his left knee in the first minute of the fight. Augh, dangit.

Next week: The last semi-final fight as Gilbert Urbina takes on Tresean Gore. Can Team Volkanovski run things to a 8-fight streak and take all the spots in the finale?

I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.
