The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights - Week 5 Review

There's never been an episode of The Ultimate Fighter on SPIKE that's had such an uphill climb before it ever aired. Last week's Episode 4 of The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights was not only a great episode, but one of the best of all time, showcasing the best and (mostly) worst of what can happen in the professional fight game to a fighter dropped into a coaching scenario - that doesn't really want to. We find out more about that, we see one of the question-mark-making fights, and wonder exactly how many coaches were assigned to this season's show. It's all taking place here in week 5 and we encourage you to chime in and tell us what you think about this episode of season 10 of SPIKE's The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights! Be sure to listen to our TUF Tally - a quick, no-holds-barred call of this episodes fight via the Savage Style Podcast!

-- The Danger of Cortisone: For those that don't yet understand how cortisone works, you're essentially numbing the area to get past the pain and disconfort associated with an injury to continue "on" - "gutting out the pain", and getting through the current task. What's missing from the overall equation however is that while the pain is subdued, while you can continue to function in relative discomfort, the reason you're feeling "pain" is because your body is registering injury and compensates to deal with it. Swelling is the body's way of immobilizing broken parts to help reduce physical damage and if you can't now feel the pain, you've no reason to stop. That means that the damage your body was trying to tell you about and help you avoid WILL occur with absolute certainty. It's a dangerous little mix of hope, paycheck and desire in the NFL, and it's a gamble MANY players never recover from. Let's hope Matt sees the light or is truly just faking it all.
