In usual manner, the show starts with a recap of last week’s fights. There are scenes from Amir Sadollah’s comeback win over Gerald Harris and of Cale Yarbrough’s win over Pat Schultz.

In an interview with Dana White, Dana comments on the Schultz/Yarbrough fight, stating that he was happy with Schultz’s performance in the first round. He scored the round 10-9 in favor of Schultz. However, he recognized that Yarbrough turned the second round in his favor and hammered Schultz entirely. He scored the second round 8-10 Yarbrough – and apparently the judges agreed giving the fight to Yarbrough. Now we finally get to see the real reactions from both coaches. Rampage’s trash talking (added in with Schultz’s “go back to your corner” comment) seems to really get under Forrest’s skin. First, he storms into the locker rooms and he “Lebens” the door, smashing it pretty much in half. As Dana comes in Forrest is shadowboxing, ready to fight Rampage right then and there. Finally, he calms down when Schultz comes in and apologizes for his disrespect. He realized that what he said to a veteran was out of line for a guy just trying to break into the business. Definite class-points for Schultz.

By now the goofball in Forrest has taken over. At their training session, he manages to get a net gun and the team is joking around about making Rampage its first victim. Everyone’s pretty nervous about how Rampage would take it, except for Forrest. “What’s he gonna do? Beat me up?”

Over at Team Rampage’s training session, we see Forrest sneaking in, net gun behind his back. Climbing up on to the cage, he nails Rampage while he’s sitting on the mat against the cage. A shocked Rampage roars that Forrest went to far, and that this is war. All he can keep talking about is how he can’t believe he got netted in front of the whole world, on national TV. It’s pretty clear that payback will be a b***h!

Finally all attentions are turned toward the last preliminary fight – C.B. Dollaway and Nick Klein. Dollaway mentions how he got into MMA – because there is no “pro” wrestling. And while Rampage admits that he’s the best in the house, he also knows that C.B. is too full of himself, so he’ll have to put all 12-inches of his foot up his ass.

In training, C.B. is practicing with Matt Riddle. Riddle gets him to tap with a kneebar – the perfect opening to Rampage to rib him a little. Not known to take ridicule, C.B. shoots back with a playful kick. Oh, no he didn’t! Rampage begins to empty his pockets and strip down to roll with C.B. Rampage manages to take him down, but C.B. flips him and gets him to tap with a guillotine. Yeah, Rampage – C.B. is that good.

Back at Klein’s training session, strategy seems to be the focus. They decide the plan is to take advantage of the fact that C.B. is a wrestler – get him on his back and he’ll panic. If he can’t keep the fight standing, at least he has good conditioning and good scrambling…

With the weight of Rampage’s team on C.B.’s shoulders, the fight begins.
Round 1

Dollaway comes out attacking quickly with a kick and the action is turned to the floor. At first Klein is on his back, but when he manages to get out of Dollaway’s guillotine, C.B. sweeps him and gets Klein’s back. Dollaway offers a lot of strikes to his head and ribs. This brings on a warning from Mazzagatti for hitting the back of the head. Klein eventually manages to spin and get Dollaway’s leg for a kneebar, but Dollaway gets out of it. Again, Dollaway winds up on top and in control. With Dollaway in half mount, Klein gets his arm in a weak armbar, but again, Dollaway gets out. Half standing, Dollaway lands several more blows and regains half guard. While working his ground-n-pound, Dollaway is trying to get full mount. Dollaway lands some damaging blows to Klein’s head for a good 30 seconds. Klein is able to push Dollaway off, but gives up his back. Not a lot of motion, but Klein turns and Dollaway is back on top. Klein gets his arm again, and tries to roll, but the round ends with Dollaway defending the submission.

Round 2

In Dollaway’s corner, we hear Rampage saying that he wouldn’t be surprised if the judges gave Klein the round because of all his punches to the back of the head. Could be very telling…

The round begins and both fighters make a go at stand-up. A few good jabs from Klein and a few good kicks from Dollaway. We hear Forrest yelling at Klein to throw hard, but Klein pulls Dollaway down to the ground on top of him. Dollaway is on top, but Klein is doing most of the striking. Dollaway manages to get Klein’s arm, but he pulls out quickly and gives up his back again.

Klein tries to scramble, but gives Dollaway side control, then back to full guard. Klein is then warned for kicking Dollaway in the head. Dollaway is raining down elbows and fists, so Klein turns to get out of it and gives up his back. In doing so, he leaves his neck wide open. Dollaway sees the opening, goes in for the deep guillotine and Klein taps.

Winner: C.B. Dollaway by submission (guillotine)

Overall, the feeling is that the fight was more impressive and more technical than anyone had thought it would’ve been. While everyone knew that C.B. was good, everyone was still impressed with Klein. With the win, C.B. is very happy with himself and happy to save face for the team, but with the impending quarterfinals, it’s every man for himself.

Back at the house, C.B. is chilling in the hot tub with Matt Riddle, both donning matching shades. Cale comes in and decides to call them “douches” and “boyfriends”. Again, C.B. doesn’t really like jokes aimed at him. He’s grown tired of Cale’s stupid jokes and has now made it personal. He wants to be matched with him in the quarters.

In the gym, Forrest makes good on the promise he made to Amir. Amir proceeds to shave Forrest’s head as he wishes, shaving it completely, save for some horrible lines on the left side. As Forrest gets ready to shower, in comes Rampage who nails him with a jumbo water gun. When he sees that Forrest has an extra pair of dry shorts, yeah, he soaks them too. Revenge is sweet, isn’t it Rampage?

In the last five minutes of the show, the coaches, along with Dana, are deciding who to pair up in the quarterfinals. They call each fighter in one by one and ask them who they’d like to fight. Each fighter has their top couple that they’d like, but the only one that matters is C.B. C.B. wants Cale. C.B. gets Cale.

And the quarterfinals are:
* Jesse Taylor vs. Dante Rivera
* Amir Sadollah vs. Matt Brown
* Dan Cramer vs. Tim Credeur
* C.B. Dollaway vs. Cale Yarbrough

Next week we’ll see the first two of the quarterfinals. And hopefully more revenge.

As the episode begins, we get little snippets of last week’s fights (Matt Brown def. Jeremy May and Dan Cramer def. Luke Zachrich). And of course, Rampage is still bubbling over the fact that he gets control. But will he keep it?

Then the show jumps right into the fight announcement. Rampage wants to milk his moment for all its worth so he takes his time making the choices. He chooses Gerald Harris to fight Amir Sadollah. Basically, it’s going to be the wrestler versus the kickboxer.

At the Team Rampage training session, Rampage and Harris are interviewed and both clearly think that Harris is the likely winner. Harris admits how much he enjoys picking people up and slamming them – with a smile on his face. Ever the comedian, Rampage calls Harris his “mini-me” because he fights like him.

In Team Forrest’s training session, the mood is very different. Sadollah says that he doesn’t consider himself a complete amateur, but he is not nearly as “stoked” as Harris. Even Forrest seems worried and questions Sadollah’s confidence. In an effort to rile him up, Forrest even offers to shave his whole head if Sadollah loses and half his head if he wins.

On fight day, Harris shows his weakness in his fear of letting his family down. And Sadollah tries to be confident – he swears that he doesn’t suck. Time for both to put their money where their mouths are.

Round 1

Both guys come out and seem a little hesitant at first. Harris gets a takedown pretty quickly. He keeps him pinned against the cage, but there is no real action. Sadollah is able to kick him off, but Harris comes right back. Sadollah tries to set Harris up for an armbar but fails. Both get some strikes in and end up back on their feet. Harris manages to pick Sadollah up and slams him to the mat like a ragdoll. Harris again has Sadollah pinned against the fence and then slams him for a second time. Harris keeps his forearm on Sadollah’s throat, but Sadollah still manages to strike.
Both are up on their feet again, but Harris gets yet another takedown. He has Sadollah’s leg, but Sadollah is the only one landing any punches. Sadollah twists around to get Harris’s neck. Harris gets up and latches on to Sadollah’s waist for the takedown but the round ends. Neither looked particularly impressive.

Round 2

Sadollah (finally) tries some stand up and we see a few weak exchanges. Harris, of course, goes for the takedown. Sadollah straddles and tries to sprawl, but ends up on his back. You can hear Rampage yelling for Harris to drop some elbows, but Harris doesn’t provide. They both get back on their feet and Harris immediately goes for the takedown, but by now Sadollah has perfected his sprawl. Harris has Sadollah’s leg, but Sadollah is able to spin out and take Harris’s back. They stand up again and Harris gets another takedown but he never really takes advantage. They stand up (again) and as Harris goes for another takedown, Sadollah rocks Harris with a perfectly timed knee to the jaw. Harris is on the ground, clearly out for a few seconds, and Sadollah rains down the fists until the ref stops the fight.

Winner: Amir Sadollah, Round 2 by TKO

Harris is clearly pissed off about the stoppage and claims that he wasn’t out. But it was plain as day – he wasn’t fighting back or even defending himself. He was o-u-t. His takedowns were flashy and plentiful, but useless in that he didn’t really inflict any damage. Sadollah on the other hand took advantage when he could. He timed his shots well – and it worked. He waited for Harris to lower his head for the takedown and timed a perfect knee for the win. Now he’s happy to get the respect he deserves.

Rampage is visibly disappointed, but tries to comfort an angry Harris who is upset about letting his family down. Aww….group hug??

Moving right along, we get the next fight announcement with Team Forrest back in control. Forrest chooses Cale Yarbrough to fight Patrick Schultz (leaving the remaining two fighters, CB Dolloway and Nick Klein, to fight in next week’s show).

In typical Rampage fashion, he starts trashing Yarbrough – claiming that his mom could beat him. Oh, Rampage….

After seeing scenes from the training sessions of both teams, it has pretty much been determined that the fight between Yarbrough and Schultz will be entirely stand-up. Yarbrough prefers it and Schultz’s strength is Muay Thai. Yarbrough seems determined to take out Schultz because he (and the others) feel like Schultz shouldn’t even be there because he already lost (Schultz came back to replace Paul Bradley). But Schultz feels that he shouldn’t be taken so lightly – claims that he’s the shark and the one that Team Forrest should be worried about. Guess we’ll see about that…

Round 1

Both immediately come out swinging. A lot of strikes are swapped and both seem pretty even from the start. Yarbrough is able to land some nice leg kicks. Within the first couple minutes, both look like they’re calculating their strikes. Schultz lands a good punch and Yarbrough ends up on his back, but Schultz doesn’t capitalize. Some more strikes for both, and then Yarbrough kicks so hard he falls! By now, both are starting to look a bit tired. There are a lot of sloppy punches and kicks on both ends. And they both begin to drop their hands. Schultz takes advantage and lands a good shot with 2:15 left.
Finally Yarbrough goes for and nails a takedown. Schultz clinches Yarbrough’s head, but Yarbrough manages to land a lot of strikes to Schultz’s face. Both are back on their feet to dance around and throw some very awkward looking strikes and kicks. Yarbrough gets another takedown and tje round ends with Yarbough landing a barrage of fists to Schultz’s face.

Round 2

Again, both come out swinging, but neither is really defending themselves. Yarbrough lands a good knee to the head and gets the takedown. On the ground, Yarbough rains down strikes to Schultz’s head. In half guard, Yarbrough continues to drop ‘bows and fists on Schultz for over a minute. Schultz is blocking them, but he’s not really fighting back. Yarbrough seems to really listen to his corner and continuously tries to get full mount. It looks like Yarbrough is doing the most damage to Schultz’s head and ribs. Schultz keeps trying to turn out but Yarbrough puts him right back and continues the torrent of fists. He maintains his rake choke and just beats Schultz down. Schultz just keeps his arms up to block until the round ends.

Forrest being Forrest, he offers up a third round. Rampage is all about the third round – claims that Schultz won the first round and Yarbrough won the second. All seem to want to go for it (with some lovely chanting in the background), but it goes to decision with Forrest laughing all the way…

Winner: Cale Yarbrough, majority decision

Tired of losing, this seems to be the last straw for Rampage and he is pissed off. He begins to stomp around the ring and yells to Forrest that he’ll bet his purse that their fight won’t go to decision.

They cut to an interview with Dana White who just chuckles about the anger between Rampage and Forrest. He jokes that the two of them want to “Ken and Tito each other” – a reference to the daily arguments when Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz coached the third season. Thankfully for us, Rampage and Forrest are much funnier than Ken and Tito.

The previews of next week look promising – but which “fight” will be better? The favorite, CB Dolloway and Nick Klein? Or pranksters Rampage and Forrest?
