Can anybody provide context?

Steroids?

^-----nah, I'm relatively sure there's too much oversight in the show to allow doping.

It looks like Noah v. Sims, although this is from a preview of an episode of TUF that should be airing today I think, so nobody outside the show really knows what went on. Definitely not doing much to improve the rep of MMA as "street brawling". >.<

Booze + fighters = brawling. On the other hand, this is probably the most technically proficient brawling that has ever been recorded outside of a ring or cage.

From OTM:

"The eliminated fighters are sitting around the fire, drinking and talking. Marlon Sims makes a big deal about the fact that he didn’t tap in his fight, much to the problem of Noah Thomas and Allen Berube who did tap in their matches. After some more words, Marlon excuses himself, but swerves and upends the chair Noah is sitting on, and it’s on!

With Berube egging them on (but the entire house sitting around laughing, Marlon and Noah square up. Marlon dares Noah to hit him first, so Noah fakes a shot and double legs Marlon the two scuffle and as Noah jumps to guard, Marlon dumps him hard on barricade. Marlon fires a few punches and as Noah tries to armbar him Marlon gets a few more shots in. Marlon tries to back off, but Noah fires a high kick to Marlon’s head. Afterwards, Noah tries to shake hands, but this time Marlon comes after Noah. Noah winds up on the bottom and tries and armbar and Marlon slams him on his head (on the concrete no less) for his troubles, opening up a nasty gash on the back of Noah’s head."

"Marlon and Noah shake hands afterwards as the rest of the house laughs and they appear to bury the hatchet. The next morning Dana White shows up at the house and he’s not happy. Here’s a transcript of what Dana had to say:

“I just say the tape and I’m *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep*. Six years *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* better image *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* athletes *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* goons *bleep* *bleep* *bleep*”

Dana quickly throws Noah, Marlon and Berube off the show. Upon reflection, none of them feel their getting tossed was unjust however. Berube makes the point about putting the dog in the kitchen with no toys, and not expecting them to chew the walls."
