The episode opens with a visit from former UFC fighter and current analyst Michael Bisping, who helps the fighters with grappling techniques.

The first fight of the episode is between Team Hughes's Shonie Carter and Team St-Pierre's Pete Spratt.

After three rounds, the judges' decision is announced, but tensions rise when it's revealed that one of the judges scored the fight differently from the other two. As the coaches argue over the results, the fighters on both teams watch nervously, knowing that future fights could also be influenced by split decisions.

The next fight features Team St-Pierre's Jorge Rivera against Team Hughes's Jeremy Jackson.
