Finall saw this episode last night and I was interested because I knew that Dan Simmler was the victim of the KO and I wanted to see it before commenting.

Dan was a regular in the east coast grappling and is a regular poster on a forum I moderate. His explanation of the fight:

"As for the punch, the original broke the left side of my jaw , the next to broke in two spots on the other side. The jaw broke on both sides at the wisdom teeth and on hte right side by the hinge. Sucked but it happens. Thanks for the good words. "

Really sucks to see a guy I kind of know, in a round about way, get KO'ed like that. I hope he heals up well and makes it back in there.

As for the guys trashing the house. You guys gotta understand that Dana White is picking those guys that he thinks will bring the best ratings, not necessarily the best fighters. How many people watch the show because of that type of drama? Lots. It doesn't represent the sport well but at this point who can blame him, his methods seem to be working.
