Season 12 of "The Ultimate Fighter" was deemed a big ratings success. The show accomplished the feat without turning to the bizarre, abhorrent behavior, which had been commonplace in the past. But that doesn't mean the wacky material wasn't there. Apparently, Spike chose to keep that footage out of the finished product. According to TUF 12 champ Jonathan Brookins, there were plenty of shenanigans.
Brookins told ProMMARadio that Jeff Lentz was the wild man of the house.
Lentz served as a sort "Situation" for the TUF house. He was part troublemaker, part gourmet chef. Lentz was an early loser on the show and that meant he could party away the rest of the season. Brookins said it got so bad one night, after Lentz did 26 shots of Jagermeister, that the show's crew had to step in to stop the fighter from doing serious damage to himself.
There was also a scenario similar to the knockout scene from TUF 8. That's when Dave Kaplan asked Tom Lawlor to slug him. The lightweight got starched by Lawlor.
Brookins said something similar happened late in the season when Spencer Paige asked housemates to crack him and see if they could knock him out. Lentz obliged and gave Paige, what Brookins called, a broken jaw.
