Matt Hughes gives his impressions in his blog of what went down on episode 10 of The Ultimate Fighter 6 last night on Spike TV:

John Kolosci lost his fight last episode and he decided to drink afterwards, then started breaking stuff in the house. But that’s what happens when you drink too much. He had a big opportunity and he lost and he was just upset, which I can kind of understand.

I thought that was terrible that Serra would choose not to corner his own guys. It’s just a terrible coaching philosophy. It was obvious who he wanted to win. He wasn’t even supposed to be cornering Matt Arroyo and he was coming up with a game plan for him. I think it was disrespectful to Troy and just created a bad training environment.

About the bowling, I went to them when I heard that we were doing a coaches challenge and the only thing I asked of them was not to bowl. So it’s just amazing that that’s the only thing I asked not to have and that’s what I got. I’m just not a bowler, I’ve bowled maybe four times in my life. I left right afterwards. What I was disappointed about was the fact that my guys didn’t get anything. The cash to me was nothing, it was the cash my guys could have gotten, that’s what hurt.

They show Arroyo and Hightower deciding not to come train with my team, that didn’t bother me; but they did come in to our practice before their fight, at least one of them did. Hightower wasn’t going to get a good gameplan from Serra, so he definitely needed to come over. Arroyo was getting a good game plan from Serra, so he didn’t really need to come over.

Troy and Arroyo’s fight went just like I thought it would.

After his fight, we weren’t really overly impressed with George’s ground game or anything to be honest. He didn’t want to get hit by Hightower, there was no doubt about it. -Matt
