 Fighters recap the first preliminary fight between Allen Berube and Cole Miller. They explain how Allen quickly took Cole down, but Cole was able to quickly get Allen in a triangle from his back. Allen tried to knock Cole out with hammer fists but Cole tightened the triangle and got Allen to tap-out. After winning, Cole ran out of the octagon crying. He was emotional because he expected his journey to get into the UFC to take much longer than it did. In Cole s dressing room, Manny presents Cole with a homemade UFC belt that he wants each of his teammates to wear after winning their fight. Jens is excited about the win. For one, it gives his team the winning momentum, but more importantly, also gives them control of the next fight pick. That night at the house, Allen Berube shows up to announce that despite his loss, he will be staying in the house to help the guys train and in case someone gets injured and a replacement is needed. The next morning the fighters are in the game room getting massages when Gabe Ruediger comes in and starts telling Matt Wiman how much he dislikes him. Matt thinks Gabe is an overweight pig who is a poor reflection of the team. When Matt leaves the room, Gabe talks trash about Matt to members of Team Pulver. Brian Geraghty makes the observation that Team Penn is going to beat themselves before they even get a chance to fight. Later, Matt confronts Gabe about bad mouthing him behind his back. Matt tries to explain to him that his behavior makes the team look bad but Gabe doesn t agree and the conflict ends in a tenuous truce. The fighters arrive at the gym for the fight announcement. BJ has come up with a plan to get control of the fight pick. He pulls Rob Emerson aside and hands him a note. Written on the note are the words BJ would like Emerson to use to call out Corey Hill. If Corey steps up and takes the bait, Team Penn will get the match up that they want. Just before Jens Pulver has a chance to call out the match up, Emerson steps out of line and calls out Corey Hill. Jens refuses to get ensnared in BJ s plan. He takes control of the fight announcement and has Manny Gamburyan call out Noah Thomas. Manny wants to prove that Noah is the weakest link. Even though Manny is a tough fighter, BJ thinks Noah can hold is own and is happy with this match up. BJ prepares Noah for his fight. Noah was born in Colorado but he says he grew up in the Marine Corps. He knows he s the underdog despite the fact that he s had over 40 fights in the last two years. While Gabe, Allen, Noah and Rob are lying around in the backyard, Rob notices two girls riding on horseback. They convince the girls to come around the front of the house. Unfortunately, the surface of the driveway proves to be a too slippery for the horses and one of them takes a fall. All the fighters at the house come to the rescue and rush out with floor rugs to help the horse get back on its feet. In the van, as Team Penn heads back to the gym, Matt and Gabe start to go at it again. Their teammates are really starting to take serious notice of this ongoing conflict and its negative effect on the team. Joe Lauzon says it s time to talk to BJ and see if he can t bring an end to it. BJ holds a team meeting inside the octagon to try and put an end to the conflict between Matt and Gabe. He explains to the fighters that this problem needs to be dealt with now. Matt explains that his vision is beyond Gabe and says that if BJ wants, he ll fight Gabe right now and smash him. BJ says they re wasting their team s time and they better get their act together before he gets completely fed up with this distraction. BJ asks Matt and Gabe to put their differences aside. He knows they need to be focusing on getting Noah ready for his fight not bickering with each other. It s Manny s turn to train. Manny was born in Armenia but has been in the United States for 15 years now. He says he was a really bad kid growing up and has been fighting his whole life. When he came to the U.S. he decided to become a fighter and has been happy ever since. He s been training with his cousin Karo Parisyan for the last 15 years so they share the same style of fighting. He injured his shoulder two years ago while practicing his judo and hasn t fought since so he s hungry for this fight. Jens Pulver says Noah better have a legitimate stand up game because Manny is a tank that will not stop except if you knock him out. As Noah gets ready to head to the weigh-in, he talks about how he spent six years in the Marines. He was a sniper, which required extensive training. He thinks the Marine Corps has made him more tenacious than the average bloke and no one in the house will be able to break him. At the gym, Noah weighs-in while eating a sandwich. Dana explains that Noah s had 40 fights during the time that Manny has been taking time off for his injury. He says that Noah has a puncher s chance of winning if he can keep this fight standing. Next, Team Penn starts writing on the wall in the living room. They write Team Penn supports the troops as a tribute to Matt s brother in Special Forces and Andy s brother, who s also in the military. Meanwhile, Rob is in the game room and decides to do a little doodling of his own and writes, "Suck it Team Pulver." When Team Pulver comes home, they first notice the writing on the wall in the house, but then Nate goes out to the game room and discovers the writing on the wall and all hell breaks loose. He takes offense to this and is ready to throw down with Rob right in the living room for the insult against his team. Things get heated as Rob tries to apologize for writing something he never meant to be taken offensively. No one on Team Pulver is buying the fact that Rob didn t do it to offend them. As Rob walks out to remove offensive writing, Manny snaps and becomes enraged with the idea that his team has been insulted. He starts screaming out that he ll fight anybody who is disrespecting him. Manny is so vocal about this that even Nate has decided to back off of the situation. Manny threatens to leave the show and says that he ll fight everyone in the house. Corey finally takes Manny out by the pool and talks him down from his emotional ledge. It s fight day and Brandon speculates that his teammate Manny is probably exhausted from all the energy he expended during his emotional rant. Gabe gives Noah a pep talk and they head to the gym. Noah says his team is behind this match up. Manny says that even thought BJ Penn says this is a good match up, he ll prove this it s a horrible match up for Noah. He has spent many years preparing for the UFC and has to do well. He says Noah is only his first victim. Round one. They come out and circle then Manny catches Noah with an overhead right. Noah gets rocked but comes back quickly. Noah stuffs Manny s take down attempt but then Manny gets Noah into a clinch against the fence. Manny picks Noah up and body slams him down. Noah tries to fend off the attack but Manny comes in with punches. Manny passes Noah s guard and then uses his strength to secure a Kimura, forcing Noah to tap. Dana is blown away by Manny s performance especially since he hasn t fought in two years. Back in his dressing room, Noah says he s disappointed with himself. He worked hard to get to the UFC and now he s been set back. He s not sure where to go from here.
