The Ultimate Fighter 4 ep. 2
**SPOILERS**
Team Mojo, having control of the fights, picked Gideon Ray from Team No Love to fight their own Edwin DeWees. Both fighters had tough breaks in their debut fights, and had records of 0-2. Sadly, the fight wasn’t that eventful until Ray managed to open up a cut on the head of DeWees. Once that thing opened up, DeWees’ blond hair turned pink, and the octagon became a Jackson Pollock painting (or my header graphic). The amount of blood out there was just silly.
Three rounds of it went on, and the win went to DeWees. Personally, I think the fight should have been stopped. The whole explanation with the doctor I thought was a bit shady.
The Wikipedia says that the average adult is in medical danger after losing 2 pints of blood. Imagine 2 cans of Guinness. That’s a surprising figure to me, but I’m guessing DeWees may have lost about 1.5 pints? Don’t you start feeling woozy at some point? Doesn’t this seem like a health risk?
The teams:
| Team Mojo | Team No Love |
| Shonie Carter | Rich Clementi |
| Edwin DeWees | Gideon Ray |
| Chris Lytle | Jeremy Jackson |
| Din Thomas | Pete Spratt |
| Patrick Cote | Charles McCarthy |
| Pete Sell | Mikey Burnett |
| Matt Serra | Jorge Rivera |
| Scott Smith | Travis Lutter |

I’m all for blood and guts, but that was nearly unwatchable. It seemed that Gideon stopped fighting when the gusher blew – saying your gonna kill someone and actually doing it are two different things altogether.
Stop the Shamrock/Ortiz, but don’t stop this? Herb Dean needs to lay off the ganja.

I think its ironic that Gideon lost his first UFC fight due to stoppage after a massive cut to his head. Now he manages to massively cut his opponent’s head and he still loses the fight! I felt so bad for him – being too distracted by trying keep someone else’s blood out of his eyes to properly fight.
That being said, Dana’s point about Dewees proving his toughness as he tried to stop the gush of blood with one hand while pounding Gideon with the other is a good one.
The fight should have been stopped, but such as it was, Dewees deserved the win.

Chucky: Herb Dean does look suspiciously Rastafarian…
Dan: DeWees totally gets style points for holding the bloody wound with one hand while hammerfisting with the other :) There is no doubt that he deserved the win, but more deserving fighters have lost fights because of smaller cuts than that one.
Love you guys’ illos, Dan. Keep up the good work.
