I have seen hundreds 100s of hours of MMA but until this episode never understood the meaning of making the weight cut.
It is brutal.
It goes against nature.
If you do it, you have to been able to fight after deliberately dehydrating yourself.
If you don't do it, you have to be able to live with yourself after failing to do the one thing that defines you.
In other words, it is a lot like life.
And that is the point this writing team was trying to make. And they succeed.
Lauria and Tucker (the latter has single-handedly been carrying entire episodes) step up and give an acting clinic.
Grillo and Sanchez hold their own, but trust me it is Lauria and Tucker, the latter in particular, you will be watching.
