We're 1 minute into the fight, still with no real contact. Shane, finally, swings and misses, and Efrain clutches him around the waist and knees him a couple of times. Shane manages to sort of throw Efrain, but they both hit the ground on their knees and bounce up simultaneously. Efrain lands a punch and then they're back to neither making contact. Ah Hah! Finally, they're hugging and kneeing each other. Boy, I hope Efrain wins. They keeps trying to throw each other, but neither can pull it off. I hate to say it, but even if Marilyn is a complete psycho bitch, I think he looks like he might be a better fighter than either of these two.
Race you back up.
Shane and Efrain get into a standing death clutch and the the ref breaks them up. Finally, they end up on the ground with Efrain on top, but, like two virgins on their wedding night, neither seems to know what to do. Efrain lays on Shane's face and starts punching him in the head. Shane does his best to roll onto his stomach, but can't quite get there. Efrain is trying to elbow Shane but his strikes look kind of floppy. Then, they're both back up and the bell rings. I'm pretty sure that Efrain won that round, at any rate Shane isn't looking too happy.
Get me the fuck out of here.
The ring girl comes through and we're back for round two. Apparently, Shane was inspired during the break and comes out more aggressively. He throws a kick at Efrain's head and misses. Then they connect. Efrain almost has Shane in a headlock, before he dumps him on the ground where they do the obligatory writhing, Efrain on top, Shane on the bottom. Meanwhile, Shane is grabbing the side of the cage which is a big no-no, but you can't really blame him.
I'm guessing at this point he'd grab the ref it would help.
Efrain is humping away and starts trying to choke Shane with an arm bar. Shane manages to get back to his feet and we have a little standup. Efrain is swinging at him but not really connecting. Then, they're back down, but this time Shane is on top and Efrain, determined not to be the bitch, is kicking like mad. There's fifty seconds left before this match goes to decision, but, wait, Efrain is back on top and sitting on Shane's face, apparently submitting him with his crotch. I'm not kidding, they call it a triangle...
I call it death by penis.
And, Efrain is the winner!!
Mini Big Nog finally gives Efrain the airplane ride he's been begging for.
Marilyn looks stunned. Once again, the unfolding events do not compute. Once again, Marilyn goes insane, and yells into the ring, "That's exactly what the UFC needs, another fucking boring ass wrestler." Followed by, "That's all you know how to do, just lay on people like a fucking bitch. Try and do that with me." Big Daddy and everybody else in the ring ignores the initial outburst, but it's clear that Marilyn has just confirmed any lingering doubts about his jackass status when sober. Not surprisingly, despite Mini Big Nog's efforts to defuse the situation, Efrain responds, which prompts Marilyn to act out the brilliant plan of climbing the fence into the ring to try and fight Efrain. Of course, first he would have to get through Frankie Mir, Mini Big Nog, and a couple of various and huge assistant coaches. Needless to say that Marilyn is quickly cornered against the fence.
Seriously, what a fucking idiot
And, on that charming scene, we end this week's episode. Does Marilyn get kicked out of the house next week? I doubt it. But, please let someone have a chance at pounding the crap out of him. I'm not usually bloodthirsty, but I'd get a fair amount of pleasure watching Marilyn get his ass beat.
Well, Gasmii, what do you predict? Does Marilyn stay or go? And shouts out to HeyBuddy and FreewayShark, I know Marilyn's behavior is not fun for you guys to watch, but I have to say that the restraint of the rest of the fighters really shows the good side of the UFC : )
Hugs,
Yenta

This has got to be the funniest recap ever!!
Marilyn is totally and completely disgusting. I don't understand how he can still be on the show. His poor parents must be so embarrassed.
The other fighters seem nice, so I hope they get rid of Marilyn just so we can see more of them.
Thanks for the laughs.

Great recap!
I will have to say that after seeing the show I as unsure how anything funny was going to come from that disaster.
Thanks-

Great recap Yenta. Junie is really disappointing me. You're absolutely right, he is perpetuation the negative stereotype, but I can't see him staying past next week. And now his coach is really pissed at him, and Dana was easy on him once, that won't happen twice. Don't let this fool you, yents, Dana White has a history of kicking guys off this show. He kicked a guy out of the finals last season when he caused an uproar after the show ended. Junie can't last.
And for your other question about wrestlers, yes and no. Based on a lot of what I've seen, many of the best fighters have extensive backgrounds in Jujutsu because it incorporates most of the aspects of MMA, i.e. striking, grappling, and submission. Yenta, I encourage you to look at a lot of UFC events and become familiar with some of the techniques and fighters.

Junie Browning is the best fighter on the show and is going to be one of the best in the UFC. Hes just acting like that cus hes bored and he wants camara time.
I heard he makes it to the finals and beats all the other LH asses.

Another outstanding recap.
I hope Dana puts a stop to this ugly Junie business. After this week, if he doesn't kick the guy out, he - and the UFC - will have very little credibility left with me.
And who is Dana kidding with his excuse for giving them all that alcohol?
Dana has built a wonderful brand with UFC - and did a lot to save a strugling MMA. It pains me to see him allow this much credibility loss over a few rating points.

Hey! Thanks for the shout out - I'm pretty sure that's my first one ever. Is that sad?
In answering your question about wrestling - it is a very important part of MMA, and at one time, it was considered perhaps THE most important part, but times change. I'll spare you a long story, but suffice it to say that muay thai, boxing, wrestling and jiu jitsu - in some combination are some of essential martial arts to know.
It's not uncommon for "stand up" fighters to hate on others with great wrestling skills because most fights go to the ground. If the wrestler is able to control the fight on the ground, the stand up fighter is at a huge disadvantage.
Let's play a game. Pick a fighter and choose theme music for them. I'll start with an easy one. Junie Allen Browning - "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit.
Yenta, great recap. It is always embarrassing when the guys in the house act like jackasses. All the work that has been done by the likes of Anderson Silva, Noguiera, Randy Couture and Rich Franklin to prop up the image of MMA goes to waste when the Junies, Chris Lebens and Lee Murrays of the world act the way they do.
+1 to you Yenta if you can find out who and what Lee Murray is (in)famous for.

Yenta, honey, that was bee-YOO-ti-fullll! You're making me see the human part of some of these guys, and that's a wonderful thing... although I still don't understand why none of them can seem to understand how COMPLETELY DISGUSTING it is to put their FEET up on all of their EATING surfaces (yick!).
Of course, then there's Marilyn, and in him I see every asshole bully who ever tried to kick my ass on the way home from school (they used to get SO mad when they couldn't even catch the school fag, much less beat the shit out of me). It wasn't even any good to try and verbally trounce guys like him, because any insult other than "fuck you, asshole" would go way over their heads. With any luck he will make somebody a wonderful organ donor (except for his liver)...
love to you, fantastic job!
love, J-Mo :)

Hi Guys,
Love the comments, thanks so much for taking the time to post.
Rosesarered: As a mom, I look at Junie's behavior and give thanks every day. You're absolutely right, his poor family.
Bmcl: I'm hoping that next week is a little less violent and a little more slapstick : )
FreewayShark: Thanks so much for your input. Much to my hubby's amusement I am finding myself downloading MMA fights and cruising some of the boards. OMG, what if I'm an addict?
Fire@will: Somebody sent me a link to Dana ranting about how somebody recently did something that could lower the MMA reputation after all his years of trying to build it up. Sigh. I can't help wondering if he's actually seen his show? Heart as always...
HeyBuddy: Okay, I did the requisite googling and as far as I can tell there's actually 2 things that Lee Murray could be famous for. 1) beating up Tito Ortiz outside of a nightclub, and/or 2) possibly participating in a bank robbery. OMG, I couldn't stop giggling when I was reading about him. What a sociopathic nightmare.
My song title would be for Junie as well, Manic Depression from Jimi Hendrix.Thanks for your info on the wrestling versus Jujuitsu. I really appreciate it.
J-Mo: I wish I had been in high school with you. Seriously, I was one mean little bitch, I would have had those bastards crying in no time. And, I totally agree about the feet on the table thing. Why is it that when a group of gay men live together the place is inevitably to die for and when a group of straight men live together the place becomes a pigpen? Ick!!
Hugs,
Yenta
