Episode two of The Ultimate Fighter didn’t deliver much of the extra-curricular violence promised in last week’s post-episode sneak peek. The only punches thrown away from the cage came during a light backyard sparring session between Alex “Bruce LeRoy” Caceres and Dane Sayers in fact.

After arriving at their temporary, but plush new abode “Bruce LeRoy” takes to the liquor almost immediately, joining him is Jersey bad boy Jeff Lentz. “Let them think I got no gas in the tank. I got cardio for days” says Lentz, as we cut to a shot of the Kurt Pellegrino protégé puffing on a cigarette.

The following day the fighters head to the UFC’s training facility for team picks. GSP develops a strategy with the rest of his team while performing a grand impression of a classic Full Metal Jacket sequence. Meanwhile Koscheck has his eyes set on Johnson as his first pick with Marc Stevens at number two.

GSP also has eyes set on Johnson,. Knowing Koscheck‘s connection with Stevens GSP figures he’ll be a top pick for Kos. So, GSP assembles a bogus list, written in big bold print with Marc Stevens topping the list. He leisurely waves it around openly for Koscheck to see. Koscheck takes the bait, and snags Stevens as his first pick, leaving GSP open to select Johnson, which he does.

GSP and his stable get a chuckle out of the situation, and Dana White commends the slick tactics of the French Canadian, “well played George St. Pierre, well played.”

The teams are chosen and Dane Sayers is left the last man standing. GSP picks the obvious underdog who assures us “I’m not no chump.”

The coaches are given a bit of T.V. time to introduce their assistant coaches and coaching styles, of which GSP openly praises Greg Jackson and approaches training in a very hands on format, sparring with each member of his team while Jackson and company guide the group. Koscheck introduces his mentor “Crazy Bob” Cook, while giving us a glimpse at his approach, which is a bit more traditional and less hands on.
