Ultimate Fighter Blog: I Was Kicking the Crap Out of John Madsen Singing “Proud Mary”

The pictures of Darrill drinking Jim and Coke were from the first two days, literally the first two days we were on set. The shots of him drinking all those beers were from later in the season. The conversation that the coaches had where Darrill and I were in the room, that happened probably the second day after they picked teams. They brought me in because I was sparring John Madsen – I was kicking the crap out of him and I was singing Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary.” They told me I was disrespecting him and told me to cut it out. So that was completely out of context.

Darrill is a drunk. He likes his alcohol. But he was so low-key that they had to create something to make him an interesting character. And as far as his tattoo – that is one of the creepiest tattoos I’ve seen in my life. That conversation happened in the first couple of days as well. Darrill is probably my best friend from the show, he’s the one I stay in contact with the most, but that’s a creepy tattoo.
