‘The Ultimate Fighter’s’ Schoonover headed back to the Army

Darrill Schoonover, a member of Team Rashad on this season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” has been ordered back to active military duty. He will fight on the December 5 TUF finale, and then head back to the Army.

He mentions in a radio interview that his orders say he will be a part of Operation Enduring Freedom, which means he is likely headed to Afghanistan. He also says he will use his 400-day deployment to try to lose weight and improve on his conditioning.

“At first I was kind of pissed,” he said. “I’ve already served my country for four years and been out for almost two years. I’m getting my fighting started and getting the ball rolling on that. I was kind of mad, but the very next day, I just accepted it.”

Before he joined the cast of TUF, he put together a 10-0 record, and
served in the Army for four years. Schoonover said he was concerned
about being recalled when he first heard that 40,000 troops were going
to be sent to Afghanistan.

Schoonover has become the subject of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s teasing this season, giving Schoonover the nickname “Titties.” Schoonover got his revenge when he choked out Rampage’s fighter, Zak Jensen.

It looks like Schoonover is showing up Rampage all over again. Jackson bowed out of a fight with Rashad Evans to film a movie, despite the fact that the fight was part of Jackson’s agreement to coach on “The Ultimate Fighter.” Schoonover is living up to his responsibility, serving his country despite the fact that he will have to step away from his MMA career at a time when it is ready to take off. Who is the real man now, Rampage?
