TUF5: Episode 4 Recap

Here are some highlights from Episode 4 of The Ultimate Fighter 5®

"Wayne Weems is very behind" according to Coach Pulver. Weems teammates question his skills, stamina, and determination. Jens calls him out and pushes him to work harder.
Gabe tells Coach BJ Penn that he wants to fight Weems. Gabe's teammates think he is taking the easy way out by picking on the weaker fighters.
Brandon Melendez tells Jens that he wants to fight next, despite his foot injury.
Marlon "Mr. Indestructible" tells stories about the 100+ street fights he's been in. Sometimes taking on 5 guys at once. Well, the audience voted and WE BELIEVE HIM!!!!
Fight announcement: Andy Wang vs. Brandon Melendez
Gabe (who cornered Wang at his last fight) tells BJ Penn that Wang doesn't listen to his corner and will fight his own game.
Matt Hughes makes a special guest appearance and takes over practice for Jens. He takes Brandon under his wing and works with him one on one.
FIGHT
- RD 1 - Standup battle. Wang doesn't shoot at Melendez even though you can clearly hear BJ yell 'ANDY, TAKE HIM DOWN!!!'
- Melendez lands some solid strikes, heavy leg kicks, and a big left that knocks Andy down.
- RD 2 - Wang shows a lot of heart and continues to take hits by Melendez. Wang STILL does not get the takedown (or even tries).
- Melendez wins a unanimous decision.
After the fight Andy looses it and begins to cry. BJ (who is furious at Andy for not listening to him) does not give ANY sympathy to Andy. He says 'He (Andy) thinks he's the greatest thing since Bruce Lee.'
PREVIEW for next week: Corey Hill vs. Gabe Reudiger (if Gabe makes weight). Good luck Corey!!!

I agree with BJ on that dude crying like that, if he wanted to win he would have tried harder to listen to his coach... Also i hope Corey KICKS that fools butt so we dont have to sit here and listen to him whine about his weight and stick tubes up his butt
