Just a little poultry-related gallows humor from the latest installment of Spike.com’s The Ultimate Fighter: The Aftermath, in which Roy Nelson and Justin Wren run down their match from last night’s episode. One of the more interesting bits — besides the fried-chicken eating at the end — was their explanation of the cornermen situation in the quarterfinals. They were allowed to pick their own, and since Wren figured it would be a standup battle, he chose seasoned kickboxer James McSweeney, who started slapping the shit out of him before the fight because Wren mentioned how it was awkward to be fighting his friend; the slaps knocked him right into battle mode. Since one of Roy’s friends was already fighting him in the cage, he picked his other good friend (Darrill Schoonover) to have his back in his corner. The decision to rely on standup was one that Wren later regretted, not just because it was ultimately ineffective, but because he wasn’t used to it, and resulted in his gassing early. You can watch the entire 15-minute conversation here.

commentsWhat's this "you guys" business? 1 person. That's how many people brought up Strikeforce.
And to be technical about it, Wren and Nelson are just game show contestants at this point.
Bunch of wack jobs. Cover the NFL of MMA please, no more of this Parez Hilton type of shit.
This is not a gossip website of C-level celebs, it's suppose to be a MMA website where UFC has 90% of the talent.
Why isn't 90% of the coverage of the UFC??? You wanna know why? Because they have their shit together and there are no idiots to gossip about. In short..... F a CP
Couture? Who's that? Which episode of TUF 10 was he on cuz i must've missed it.
so....
back to fat guys eating chicken.
Hopefully, a few months of strength and conditioning (and less fried chicken) will get Wren up to snuff for the finale.
So what's up with those chickens, huh? Totally interesting stuff guys.
