EPISODE 4: ‘CAN’T FIX STUPID’
Oct 8, 2012 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Las Vegas, Nevada – The Ultimate Fighter®
Fridays episode four – ‘Can’t fix stupid’ – aired on FX on Friday
evening and saw Team Carwin take the lead in the competition.
Las Vegas native Bristol Marunde, 12-7 in his mixed martial arts career, defeated Julian Lane, 4-0, of Mansfield, Ohio by unanimous decision to see coach Shane Carwin’s squad go 2-1 in the season.
Experience proved to be the difference in the bout, which was
recorded at the TUFTM Gym in Las Vegas. Marunde, 30, has been
fighting professionally since 2007, working his way through
regional MMA promotions before facing the highly-ranked Renaldo
Souza in the STRIKEFORCE® organization earlier this year.
Happy to make it to the second round, Marunde said: “I was relieved to get the first fight out of the way. I didn't fight smart at all - I was trying to force a finish and suffered some pretty bad damage to my face as a result. It was worth it, though. Team Carwin was fired up to get a win and just as happy to have control of the fight pick again.”
He said: “It was a tough fight, I wish I had pushed it harder to make it go to the sudden victory round. I wish I would have taken control and not backed-up. It was a hard loss. I don’t ever want to feel that way again. I’m going to use the pain I felt and grow from this experience.”

Team Nelson’s final team pick, a father of a two-year-old daughter
with another child on the way, was disappointed not to advance in
the competition.
He said: “It was a tough fight, I wish I had pushed it harder to make it go to the sudden victory round. I wish I would have taken control and not backed-up. It was a hard loss. I don’t ever want to feel that way again. I’m going to use the pain I felt and grow from this experience.”
