Warning: This TUF report may be graphic in nature!
At the house, Tom Lawlor comes back everyday to discover his fruit platter has been "pillaged by the red team". He decides to urinate in his own fruit tray, in an effort to get the last laugh on the fruit stealer. Lawlor and his Team Mir cohorts, take turns peeing in the fruit, enjoying their antics a little too much. The platter is returned to fridge and the trap is set.
For this weeks fight, Mir chooses Dave Kaplan to face Philippe Nover. This is an interesting choice, as many believe Nover to be the top lightweight on TUF 8.
The Nog boys are at it once again. The instant they return to the house, some of Nog's boys gorge themselves on Lawlor's fruit tray. They are none the wiser to the urine soaked fruit... until Kaplan breaks the news.
Ryan Bader's calm response was epic;" ya, we did eat piss".
Another highlight was Kyle Kingsbury saying, "it tasted better than normal".
The urine-fruit-eaters understood, they shouldn't have eaten what wasn't theirs. They weren't happy about the added liquid, but understood the risk they took.
On a related note, Nover has noticed someone has been eating his sushi. Taking a page from Lawlor, Kingsbury decide that they should add an ingredient to the sushi. The added ingredient also comes from the penis, but isn't urine (you fill-in-the-blanks).
Dave Kaplan eats the special-sauced sushi, and is told what it contains. Needless to say he was none too happy. Kaplan vows feces related revenge on all involved, but no one seems too concerned.
Kaplan is irate about the sushi's added ingredient, but is missing the point entirely; it's not his sushi!
... And now back to our regularly scheduled TUF 8...
The Fight
Dave Kaplan vs. Philippe Nover
Nover gains top position early and sinks in the rear-naked choke for the quick and decisive win.
Dana White states that Nover reminds him of a young GSP. Dana is also impressed with Philippe's potential.
In the locker room, Mir is in shock. He still believes that Kaplan is one of the best lightweights in the house. If Kaplan were one of the best, would he have lost in under a minute?
That is it for this week. Please join us next week for another installment of the TUF 8 update.
