Paulo Filho's bizarre behavior at WEC 36, both coming in overweight and refusing to engage Chael Sonnen, perplexed the MMA world this week. One thing seems unquestioned: Filho's problems extend far beyond the Octagon, and he really needs to take care of them before he even thinks about fighting again.

Urijah Faber lost his WEC belt after making a small mistake against Mike Brown.

Before beating Jens Pulver, Leonard Garcia performed the Keith Jardine Nipple Tweak. That moved the nipple tweak record to 4-0.

From the law and order department, Chris Leben was suspended for testing positive for steroids after UFC 89, and Hermes Franca was nabbed for a DUI in Florida. Drunk driving? People are still doing that? It's called a cab. Look into it.

After the most disgusting Ultimate Fighter ever, Fightlinker begs for a change in the show. I have to agree. This week's show put me over the edge. We barely saw any training, and the fight was short. The rest of the airtime was filled with nonsense

Last night, after Urijah Faber was surprisingly TKO'ed by Mike Brown, telecaster Frank Mir said several times that Faber "got caught." It's a popular explanation when a seemingly more talented fighter loses to a less talented fighter. Chuck Liddell got caught by Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans. Chael Sonnen got caught by Paulo Filho in their first fight. Even on the Ultimate Fighter, C.B. Dollaway got caught by Amir Sadollah.

It is also a load of bull.

The words "got caught," in the passive voice, implies that the losing fighter is not to blame. Right. It wasn't Faber's fault that he lost concentration, became frustrated by Brown, and charged right into the elbow that Brown was throwing. I'm not buying it.

It also takes some glory away from the victor. Rashad Evans should be given credit for his knockout of Liddell, much like Brown deserves kudos this morning after beating Faber and winning the WEC featherweight belt. Both fighters stuck with their gameplans and recognized an

I will never look at a fruit tray the same. The most disgusting episode of the Ultimate Fighter, ever, for any season, plus spoilers and awards after the jump.

In recapping last week's fight, we find out that John Polakowski dyed his hair bright pink, and that Vinny disposed of Jules Bruchez fairly easily. Back at the house, we see that Tom Lawlor is annoyed because his fruit platter gets picked through by Team Nog. To keep them from eating his fruit, he is going to urinate in it. Then the rest of Team Mir urinates in it. Ewww. Boys are gross. (Hopefully, this won't mean that the whole show will be about pranks. That gets old quickly.)

Fight announcement: David Kaplan v. "Faintin" Phillipe Nover. Kaplan as an odd eyebrow reminiscent of Dylan McKay. Mir and Nog spout out the usual "they think this is going to be an easy fight but it's not" trash talk. At the house, Bader and Nover start eating the fruit. The fruit covered in urine. I am nauseous. When the guys are told that they were

Here at Yahoo!, we love Al "Stankie" Stankiewicz, Antonio Nogueira's boxing coach on this season of the Ultimate Fighter. From his inspirational sayings about staying on your feet to avoid farts, to his attempts with the ladies, he is just a big ball of entertainment.

But what else do we know about this man, except that he is 167 67 years old, wears a green beret, and has more folksy wisdom than a presidential candidate could possibly dream of? Before his boxing days, he was a Los Angeles police officer. In that role, he started coaching kids at the police gym, even recruiting 1984 Olympic gold medal winner Paul Gonzales into the ring.

He first teamed up with Vitor Belfort, training him for UFC 13. Belfort credited Stankie with getting him ready for the match in which he surprised Tank Abbott with a technical knockout.

So is Stankie a little crazy? Yeah, probably. But is he also an experienced, well-credentialed coach who the fighters should listen to? Yes, definitely.

With nothing else to add, I will just say that I hope you had a lovely election day, and you can follow results at the Yahoo! Election Blog.

Sure, his past might be a little checkered. Who doesn't have a few skeletons in the closet? Rampage would have them rolling in the aisles with laughter at the United Nations, and could just body slam America's enemies into submission. Hopefully, they won't know that leg kicks can be his downfall.

Co-Presidents, Prez and Vice-Prez, O.G. Prez and Newby Prez, it doesn't matter, son. There is no way to decide which of them is more gangster, so why try to decide in the polling booth? Believe it. The Diaz brothers will no-hands triangle choke any problem, foreign or domestic, to hit the country, y'knowmsayin'? Trust. For reals.
