Episode 6: "Path to Greatness" (February 2. During practice, Uriah Hall's hard punching while sparring with Luke Barnatt rubbed him the wrong way, which caused him and the rest of the team to think that Hall was not a team player. Hall later ignited a blow- up at the house when he was asked by Gilbert Smith who he wanted to fight next and he answered Barnatt, his own teammate. This caused Team Jones to confront the Jamaican, asking him to join their team. But Hall's remark towards Adam Cella's girlfriend caused a rift between both teams. The coaches took their teams bowling at Red Rock Casino. Sonnen then challenged Jones to a bowling match, betting whoever bowls the lowest score after three- frames had to coach a session for the other team while wearing that team's jersey.

Now with the red team in control, Jones matched his number one pick Clint Hester against Jimmy Quinlan. Sonnen liked it, thinking it was a bad match style- wise for Hester.
