Nick Osipczak Blog: Ultimate Fighter 9: Team USA vs. Team UK Episode 9
We all expected Dave Faulkner to beat Frank Lester, as he was looking really impressive in training and had amazing takedowns and ground game. We all thought he’d definitely be able to take Frank down and deal with him when he got him there. It seemed obvious that Dave would have his way with Frank in that fight. As it turned out, Frank showed amazing heart and a warrior spirit and managed to outlast... [Read More...]
Ultimate Fighter 9: Team USA vs. Team UK Nick Osipczak blog Episode 7

Mike was as gutted as we were at the end of the match. We all wanted to receive... [Read More...]

TUF 9 Blog: Nick Osipczak recaps Episode Three
Throughout episode three, I just kept thinking how glad I was that they portrayed Rob Browning exactly how he was in the house. He was every bit as annoying as he came across on television. I stand by my comments made on the show and I was glad to see him lose and take a beating. The first I knew of Rob being in the house was when he launched an egg at me. Thankfully it bounced straight off and didn’t... [Read More...]
