My initial reaction was the same as everyone elses here, however it seems Junk had some reasons for his gassing.

I think Scott is a good fighter who just needs to translate his practice attitude and training into the actual fight. Once Scott can do that, he will be a force to be reckoned with for sure. One thing that did happen to Junk before the fight was while in the process of warming up he injured his Achilles' heel bad, which I think limited his movement.

Also, in the fight, if you look closely, Scott's eyelid is inside out. He accidentally caught a finger from Matt. He lost almost all his eye sight after this, which happened in the first minute of the fight. He ended up having a torn retina.

Snipped from Brendan Schuab's blog about TUF episode 7. The entry can be read in its entirety here.

Having an injured Achilles would definitely cause movement problems and I remember thinking Junk got poked in the eye early in the first round. As someone who has had an eye injury (though nothing as serious as a torn retina), there is no way this didn't have a HUGE impact on the fight.

Still doesn't explain why he gassed so fast.

So you don't think having a pulled Achilles and a torn retina would affect your performance in any way?

being completely ready to go in and beat some ass and then right before your fight, you hurt your ankle, then your eye almost gets poked out....throws you off your game a little bit wouldnt you say? cough.Mirko.cough

the question is, if rashad does indeed to 8-0, will rampage just leave? i guess rashad could split up his coaches to get through the rest of the fights, and the infighting alone would create some good tv.

Junk is junk, period. End of.

Team Rampage 'will' win the last fight, lol..

Since cardio has been a major problem on all tuf seasons that's probably not a bad idea
