With Rashad and Rampage as the coaches for this season of TUF we will definitely get to see some very heated fights and altercations. The first episode of season 10 did not disappoint!

Quote of the show goes to Rampage with:
"I thought he was going crap his heart out his pants!" This was when Marcus Jones was looking like he was going to pass out while doing some conditioning in the first practice.
TUF RECAP SEASON 10 EPISODE 1
I think the first episode has, without question, set the pace for the rest of the season. This weeks fight was a little disappointing but it looks to only get better!
To start off the show Rampage and Rashad were sitting on a bench talking smack back and forth. Talking about why the other sucks, who knocked out who, and how many times. Dana had to come out and tell them to relax as the fighters where coming into the gym. There are a lot of big boys this season on The Ultimate Fighter.
Dana had to drum up some controversy by introducing Kimbo Slice and having him come in last and join the group. White said,
“I’ve talked more sh-- about this guy than anyone and coming from me, that is saying a lot.” This of course pissed off a bunch of the other fighters. Rampage was calling him on his team as the first pick also. Telling Rashad not to even think about grabbing him. So that didn't help with the other fighters attitudes towards Kimbo. Not sure why there is so much hate towards the dude. I haven't heard him running his mouth about being the best and all that crap. In fact in the little personal interviews they do on the show he seems very humble.
So the fighters trained before the picks where made. Rashad had the fighters working out on bags and what not, while Rampage had them sparring and grappling. Both coaches seem to be happy with their choices. Rashad won the toss and got to either pick the first 2 fights or make the first fighter pick. He took the first fighter. Rashad chose James McSweeney who trains with him at Jackson’s Academy in New Mexico. Rampage's first pick was as promised, Kimbo Slice!
The rest of picks are at the bottom of the of this article.
Jackson got to choose the first fight and he went with Abe Wagner vs. Jon Madsen. This could of been the bloodiest fight on TUF yet! Abe got a huge gash on the right side of his forehead that was easily a couple inches long. Abe was pouring blood and after the fight they showed a close up. You could see his freaking skull! With that said, Jon dominated Abe for both rounds by taking him down and keeping him down. He landed some big shots but Abe held on even though he couldn't stop Jon's takedowns or get him off of him.
Madsen defeats Wagner by Unanimous Decision.
There looks to be some great fighters this season. It will be interesting to see who pusses out this season and goes home. There is always at least one!
