ltimate Fighter Season 11 standings at this point is Team Ortiz 2 and Team Liddell 4!
The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Season 11, episode 6 gets underway with some unhappy campers in the Ortiz camp. They're down 1-4 in the elimination bouts and looking to play the blame game. Kyacey Uscola thinks it starts at the top and questions some of Tito's training methods.
Over at the gym, Chuck returns from his "prior obligations" and Team Liddell is all smiles.
The Minority Report takes a different slant on the workouts under Coach Ortiz. Jamie Yager thinks he's doing a great job and that some of the complainers just don't know what real work is. Tito hears the talk and rallies the troops for a pep talk and calls out Uscola for his bitching.
This season it's dodgeball. As usual, the winning coach gets $10,000 and $1,000 goes to each team member. Rich Attonito swears he saw smoke coming off Chuck's balls. I'm leaving that one alone. Game 1 to Team Liddell. Then Game 2. The end of Game 3 and Chuck and Tito are the last men standing. Just like in the cage, Chuck takes him out.
Just what Team Ortiz needs, another demoralizing loss.
At the fight announcement, Chuck picks Court McGee to fight Nick Ring, who goes into the staredown with some sort of bizarre Too Wong Foo finger wagging technique. Dana thinks it's a mismatch but admits Chuck is doing just fine without his advice.
McGee talks about his desire to fight and how getting beat up is one of the joys of competing. Assistant Coach John Hackleman thinks he's got the skills to beat Godzilla.
Speaking of giant lizards, James Hammertree gets dropped awkwardly in the gym and can't move. He's wailing in pain and the medics have to take him out on a stretcher. Not a pretty site, especially for anyone who's ever competed.
Nick Ring is happy to be back in mixed martial arts after a recovering from a severe knee injury. Coach Ortiz talks about why Ring was his number one pick and is predicting a first round finish. Both fighters make weight without incident.
James Hammertree returns with a swollen back but fortunately doesn't have any serious damage.
Prior to the fight, Coach Hackleman tell McGee that Ring doesn't have any knockout power and that he made a name for himself crushing cans in Canada. Ring apologizes ahead of time for what he's about to do in the cage.
Elimination bout #6: Court McGee (9-1) STEPs IN against Nick Ring (10-0)
Round 1: Jab lands for McGee who then takes Ring down. He does very little to advance his position and draws a few warnings from the ref for inactivity. Ring gets to his feet. They trade kicks. Then hands. Then kicks again. They lock up in the center of the cage and knee each other for a bit. They separate and Ring stuffs a takedown, locking in a guillotine then spinning to take his opponent's back. McGee turns out of it but Ring lands in half guard. He's busier on top than McGee was but conversely McGee is busier on bottom than Ring was. Round one ends with Ring on top, who probably takes the round.
Round 2: Both fighters trade cautiously. Spinning back kick for McGee is an airball. Neither fighter seems particularly eager to close the distance. McGee finally ties him up and then breaks away. Both sides throwing a lot of leather but not much damage being done. Ugly shoot by McGee gets nothing. Ring working the legs fairly well, McGee working the head in return. Ring lumbers in like Frankenstein and gets wrist control only to let it go. They start hugging and go to the cage. Exhaustion has reared its ugly head. Ring lands a few kicks at the bell as McGee peppers the head. Close fight.
Nick Ring defeats Court McGee via majority decision
After the fight, Ring is disappointed that he couldn't finish the fight. Coach Liddell can't comprehend how McGee lost the second round. Dana agrees but also says you can't ever let it go to the judges. Liddell hears that and blows his stack -- staring a hole right through Dana (who immediately sits down).
Stay tuned next week as Nick Ring faces a possible injury, Seth Baczynski and Joe Henle do battle in the final elimination fight and the wildcard spot is finally filled. Who will it be?
Find out next week!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Over WBA champ Sugar Shane Mosley
Oscar De La Hoya has fought Shane Mosley, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. He lost to them all - Mosley twice.
But what De La Hoya saw Mayweather do to Mosley in a lopsided 12-round unanimous decision on Saturday night convinced him that Mayweather is the best of this generation and possibly of all time.
"Mayweather is special. We have to respect that," De La Hoya said.
Mosley rocked Mayweather in the second round and looked to be on the verge of saying to him, "The buck stops here." But Mayweather survived the round and then shut down Mosley for the next 10.
It was a masterful display by Mayweather. He answered the critics who said he hadn't ever beaten a legitimate welterweight with the victory over Mosley, a three-time welterweight champion and the current WBA champ.
He answered those who said he couldn't weather a storm if his chin was tested. After getting hurt by Mosley, Mayweather didn't fold. And he proved that there isn't an opponent that he can't completely shut down.
Even so, Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs) knows it wasn't enough to please all of his critics.
"I'm in a no-win situation, because no matter what I do it's never good enough," Mayweather said.
Mayweather came up with his fight strategy with his uncle and trainer, Roger, and his father, Floyd Sr. The things he did to neutralize Mosley were in-fight adjustments.
"Mosley has very fast hands, but he doesn't have a jab," Roger Mayweather said. "He has tremendous hand speed, but it doesn't mean anything if you can't hit the target. He's fast if he fights somebody who's slow. How was he going to win if he couldn't outbox my nephew? I just told him (Mayweather) to keep him in the middle of the ring and box his ears off."
Mosley said he wanted to end matters in the second round, but his neck tightened up and couldn't finish the job. As his trainer Naazim Richardson noted, Mayweather gives you a brief window of opportunity to get the job done. If you don't take advantage, then it's curtains for you.
Richardson said Mosley was making excuses in the dressing room after the fight, but he told him to stop because no one but his mother wanted to hear them.
Even though he still has the WBA welterweight title, the 38-year-old Mosley (46-7, 39 KOs) said he didn't know what he was going to do. He said he would go on vacation and think about his next move.
After the fight, most of the questions were about a possible bout for Mayweather against Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather said if Pacquiao is interested in fighting him, then he will agree to Olympic-style testing. If not, then Mayweather said he will move forward without him. Pacquiao turned down a proposed fight with Mayweather back in December because he wouldn't agree to the testing.
