Consider the gauntlet thrown. The pranks at the "The Ultimate Fighter Live" house have moved to the next (hilarious) level. Coach Dominick Cruz has upped the ante big-time with his well-executed spoof of the long moment when Coach Urijah Faber didn't have an answer when Dominick flipped the who-do-you-want-to-fight-my-guy question to him.
Team Alpha Male represent!
The guys on Urijah's Team Alpha Male at the TUF 15 house are getting punked by this video reenactment featuring members of Dominick's coaching staff and some well-known UFC fighters.
The Ultimate Fighter Live Episode Uriah Faber Freezes Up! Awkward Moment video
"The Ultimate Fighter" Season 9 winner, Ross Pearson, appears as UFC president Dana White. He slowed down his Brit speak so people could understand him. Ross was joined by UFC fighters Jeremy "Lil Heathen" Stephens, Tyson Griffin and Mike Easton playing members of Urijah's team.
I loved the Godzilla music. Dominick, acting as Urijah being puzzled about who to pick to fight next, picked up Urijah's mannerisms perfectly.
Dominick the Donkey
The retaliation has to be as slick and effective as Dominick's team created. That means, Urijah will have to be patient and wait for the right moment to act—or his response will flop.
For some reason, the "Dominick the Donkey" song is running through my head. video
Probably, the guys on Urijah's blue team have something stronger to call Dominick and his crew after watching that video. The tension in the house will be high this week leading up to Al Iaquinta vs Myles Jury on Friday night.
The red team's, Chris Tickle (that's a funny name for a guy who's wound up tight) might not make it through the week without throwing food, plates or whatever else is handy—if the blue team strikes back. Chris has already demonstrated that he can't take a joke when it's aimed at him. As long as he bands together with the red team to manage his response—he might learn something new about bonding with his team—that will serve him when he's in the octagon. Fighting when you're too emotional, with too much anger, leads to mistakes.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Team Cruz delivering this video strike makes me even more convinced that Urijah hasn't shifted to a new level of game play yet. Here's my opinion on how things stand between the two coaches. Fan's Look: Does Urijah Faber Have the Answers to Win TUF 15? I Don't Think So
