Tim Credeur vs. Cale Yarbrough - These are always the hardest fights to pick. Even though we saw these guys on The Ultimate Fighter, it has been a couple months since the show ended. Tim Credeur showed a ton of heart in his last fight with C.B. Dollaway. I hardly remember Yarbrough, but he was also eliminated by C.B. Dollaway.

I have to go with Credeur to win this fight because of his experience. Even though he is a more of a submission guy, I think this fight goes the distance and he wins by a majority decision. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if he manages to pull off an armbar submission.

As we expected, this was a pretty crazy episode. If you didn't see the preview, check it out on YouTube.

The second semi-final fight takes place almost immediately after the show starts. The matchup puts the favorite C.B. Dollaway against Amir Sadollah. The fight starts and goes pretty much to script. Sadollah lands a few good punches and kicks before Dollaway is able to take him down. The fight makes it to the third round and once again we find Sadollah on his back. This time, Dollaway makes a mistake and leaves an arm out. Sure enough, Sadollah secures an arm bar and Dollaway is forced to tap out.

Since Sadollah wins the fight, we now know that either he or Jesse Taylor will be kicked off the show for their behavior. Judging from their prior actions on the show, it is easy to figure out that Taylor will be the one in trouble.

Eventually, we find out that Taylor was out on the town drinking heavily. As the preview video shows, we see him kicking out the limo window. He then goes into the casino and starts "terrorizing some female guests."

Sure enough, Dana White kicks him off the show. The best part was when the coaches, Dana White and Jesse Taylor all get together to discuss what happened. You can see Taylor squirming as White asks him some questions about what happened. He tries to blame his drinking, but White wants nothing to do with him and sends him home.

With Taylor out of the finale, Sadollah needs a new opponent. Logically, White brings back Tim Credeur and C.B. Dollaway to fight for the opening. The fight actually turns out to be pretty competitive. Dollaway eventually wins the decision and secures his spot in the finals.

So the live finale is set and it will be a rematch between Amir Sadollah and C.B. Dollaway. Don't forget to tune in Saturday for the live finale!

And then there were three... In the eleventh episode of the The Ultimate Fighter, Jesse Taylor was able to defeat Tim Credeur. With the win, Taylor cements his position in The Ultimate Fighter finale.

The episode primarily focused on the Taylor and Credeur. However, we also got to see the customary coaches challenge. As it turns out, Forrest Griffin is the "Larry Bird" of MMA. The editors chose to cut out most of the competition, but we did see enough to know Forrest easily won the competition.

Now, there is only one fight left before the finale. C.B Dollaway will look to continue his domination as he fights Amir Sadollah. I must admit that I never thought Sadollah would have made it this far. He has a decent chance to beat Dollaway, but the odds are definitely against him.

At the end of the show, the next weeks teaser proved to be quit interesting. They show a limo and one of the windows being smashed. After that, we see Dana white saying something about a fighter not being able to fight in the finale. My initial thoughts lead me to believe it was Taylor losing his temper again, but we will have to see.

Another week and another episode. As always, I won't rehash everything from the episode because so many others have. This week I recommend MMAJunkies recap of the show. Quickly, C.B. Dollaway defeats Cale Yarbrough and Tim Credeur defeats Dan Cramer.

This week turned out to be the classic "trash the house" episode. It seems to happen every season. I don't know why they do it or why they are allowed to destroy the house. My only thought is that Spike likes the footage instead of the usual sitting around the house.

I guess it makes me mad because people associate that behavior with mixed martial arts. I bet you could lock almost any group of people in that house under the same conditions and they would probably do the same thing. Maybe give the guys a TV to watch?

I was pretty disappointed with this episode of The Ultimate Fighter. There just wasn't to much interesting about the it.

The only saving grace for the episode was the fight between Tim Credeur and Matt Riddle. Credeur did have some nice smack talk for Riddle where he promises "to beat those dreams right out of ya". For the most part Credeur delivered. Riddle showed his strength and even had Credeur on his back, but eventually Credeur was able to slip in an arm bar and win by submission.

Not sure what the next episode has in store for us, but lets hope its more than episode 4 showed.
