LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
-As always, we open with tonight's live fight competitors walking into the arena before the recap of last week. Things are definitely getting smoother with the show.
-The consensus was that Chris Tickle was up last week prior to getting taken out by submission. Faber's team is up for the first time this season. Should be another good fight this week with John Cofer against Vinc Pichel.
-After the title sequence, we get the aftermath of last week's fight. Cruz chastises Tickle for failing to listen to the team. He went off on him a bit for the loss. Cruz said he'd never yell at someone for a loss if they didn't deserve it, and he felt Tickle deserved it.
-More back and forth as Faber tried to tell Tickle he did a good job, and he and Faber started jawing back and forth. Those two really don't like each other.
-Tickle took exception to Cruz saying he didn't have heart, and went off himself over that notion, noting what he left at home to be in this house. Faber's team also criticized the way Cruz handled the post-fight with Tickle, saying that's not the way you deal with a loss.

-Back in the house, Andy Ogle's going crazy, having messed up dreams about things happening back home. Time away from family and cut off from the world can do interesting things to a person.
-Onto training with Faber. Ogle's still having difficulties, and it's bleeding through into training. Anxiety's hitting him hard here. They've already been in the house for more time than any previous season, it's going to be an issue for a lot of these guys.
-Have to feel for Ogle here. He's trying to hold it together, but keeping his composure in front of the cameras is a lot easier said than done when he's breaking down mentally a bit.

-Cruz training session and a bit of background on Pichel. He's from a "tough love" family where he felt he was the "bad seed." He impressed in the elimination round, very interested to see how he does tonight. Cruz says the key for him is stuffing the takedowns tonight.
-Ogle's not the only one having issues. Sam Sicilia is getting anxious as well, adding pressures on himself for being the second pick on Team Cruz. He's not handling the pressure that well right now.
-Back to the house, and Ogle - still not dealing with things well - talks a bit about Sicilia and the bond he has with Ogle's teammate Michael Chiesa.

-We're back to Faber's team in training. Faber gives his guy - John Cofer - the edge due to his takedowns and wrestling game. Ogle and Chiesa talk things out and Chiesa convinces Ogle he's not passing things to Sicilia. Ogle is letting things get to him, but he's trying to change his mindset.
-Weigh-in time. Both on weight for tonight's fight. Each team as always has confidence in their guys.
-Dana White comes in and lets everyone know that they're a week away from being the longest time in the house of any season. White brings up UFC 145's Rashad Evans as an example of what this show can do. He assures those who are truly ready to be pro fighters going forward that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and they can get through it. Fight coming up next.
