K*Lovely's TUF 12 Recap episode 6

This episode begins with Johnson getting stretched out in the other team’s dressing room. Koscheck is giving Johnson a hard time telling by telling him things like he’s fat, out of shape etc. Of course the moment Johnson starts dishing it back out to him and the other coaches they give him the boot. How typical, they dish it out but can’t take it.


Team Koscheck is sitting around discussing, for the first time, how they should pick the next fight. The coaches start talking things over with Marc Stevens about McKenzie and Sayers. The team seems a bit concerned about him fighting McKenzie. They ask him if he can stay away from the guillotine and Koscheck states that no matter how McKenzie acts and looks, he knows how to win. Stevens is confident that he could beat McKenzie but he’s had it in his head that he would fight Dane. Either way Stevens is sure with either opponent he will win.

Back at the house Johnson is still upset how the yellow team acted after their first team win. What do you expect though? Koshcheck’s douche-ness has to rub off on the fighters. I do have to say that Steven’s dance was pretty entertaining. Later in the evening Koscheck comes by the house to help in the celebration. When he gets there you can see his teammate’s chest get a little bigger. While he’s there, he and Johnson continue to have words. Koscheck continues on with calling Johnson fat and out of shape. Johnson argues with him for a bit and tells him he right on point with weight and then he asks him why he’s being a dick. Of course, Koscheck doesn’t feel he’s being a dick at all. So what do you call a coach who encourages his teammates to rub a victory in their opponents face….a nice guy, a role model? Face it Koscheck, you’re a dick. It would have been funny if you fell on your ass when you were jumping of that ledge. Yeah, I saw that!

Koscheck makes the next fight announcement and it will be Marc Stevens against Cody McKenzie. After the announcement Cody does some sort of chin check to Koscheck. This upsets the members of team yellow. I can understand why they are angry. I think its right for any of the fighters to put their hands on any of the coaches. The coaches are there to help you succeed and they should be respected. Yes, even Koscheck deserves that respect.

We start to learn a little about Cody. He starts talking about how un-athletic he is, how little he knows about wrestling, but when the time comes he’ll be ready to grab a neck if given the opportunity. I think he had one of the best lines of the episode. He said “I like to have good times and I like fighting.” Who could argue with that?

At the training center Koscheck and the other coaches talking with Stevens and their biggest point is for Stevens not to shoot in and get put in a position where he’d get caught in a guillotine. Stevens is beyond confident that he will not get caught in McKenzie’s infamous guillotine.

The boys jump on the scale, make weight, and now it’s time to fight.

MARC STEVENS vs. CODY McKENZIE

Before the fight begins Stevens holds up his glove to McKenzie to see if they’re going to touch gloves and McKenzie shacks his head no. Fight starts and McKenzie comes charging toward Stevens. He throws a quick punch that backs Stevens up a bit and then throws a kick. Stevens blocks the kick and goes for a double leg takedown. On the way down McKenzie gets a hold of Stevens’s neck and before you can blink McKenzie has chocked Stevens out with the guillotine.

After the fight Koscheck was in disbelief. He stood there shocked and all he could do is pull out some chapstick and apply it to his lips. He says that the loss gave him an “eewie” feeling. He’s calling the other team dorks but he uses the word “eewie.” C’mon Son!

In McKenzie’s dressing room GSP is talking to his fighters. He’s reminding them not to get cocky. He says that kind of attitude always comes back to hurt you and there is no place on his team for that nonsense.

Back in Stevens’s dressing room, you could hear the crickets because it was completely silent. Everyone was down in spirit and had no words but Pham breaks the silence with a “WOW”

With no time to waste GSP makes the next fight announcement. It will be Jonathan Brookins and Sevak Magakian. GSP feels Brookins is his secret weapon and nobody, not even Brookins, knows how good he is.

Brookins likes meditation and seems to be a very mellow dude. He still considers himself a baby in the sport. GSP seems very impressed with Brookins. Unfortunately, during training GSP and Brookins heads collide and GSP is cut above his eye and needs stitches.

Koshcheck attempts another lame prank on GSP by hiding one of his sandals. While GSP is looking for his sandal Koscheck happens to notice the cut and begins his trash talk. All GSP heard was “blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” GSP just let it slide and found his sandal and moved on.

Next we get to see some of Sevak’s training. He is a lot more intense than Brookins. He likes the hard training and fighting. He has a lot of power and Kos feels him and Sevak are similar in their styles and personality.

JONATHAN BROOKINS vs. SEVAK MAGAKIAN

Sevak throws a hard punch to start the round. The punch misses but he follows it up with a high kick. Sevak looks like he’s going in for the clinch but Brookins throws Sevak. Sevak tries to work from the botton but Brookins gets his back and uses the fence to get a much better position there. They hold the position for a while and Sevak is trying to fight Brookins off. Sevak goes to block a punch so Brookins uses the opportunity to sneak in a arm and gets a rear naked choke on Sevak.

This episode had two great fights and next week we get to see the coaches challenge. I always look forward to those and really have all the faith that, like the fight in December, GSP will win.
