Episode 7- May 7, 2012
Gasparzinho (Team Vitor) v. Rony Jason (Team Wanderlei) will take place on this episode. Rony Jason was picked 1^st overall in the draft by Team Wanderlei Silva. Gasparzinho was picked 8^th by Team Vitor, 16^th (last) overall.  The bout will be the last quarter-final in the featherweight division.
Wanderlei Silva said he did not want to see this fight because Gasparzinho and Rony Jason are friends from outside the competition.
Gasparzinho is upset because he was picked last in the draft, is the last to fight and is being forced to fight a friend in the quarter-finals.
Vitor Belfort says Gasparzinho has talent and guts. Gasparzinho says his parents divorced when he was 9 years old and his father left. Gasparzinho says he didn’t see his father for 4 or 5 years. Gasparzinho began training in karate and tae kwon do before moving to capoeira. He then started training jiu-jitsu. Gasparzinho says he was involved in drugs and crime between the ages of 16-20 but began taking martial arts more seriously and changed his life.
Rony Jason says he was studying law but quit to become a professional fighter. Rony Jason says he wants to be a UFC champion. Rony says his brother is a crack-addict who suffered relapse days before he entered TUF. Rony Jason says that his brother is his hero and he fights for him. Rony Jason says his mother is his life and if he had “30% of her strength not even Cigano or Jon Jones would stop me.”
Team Wanderlei coach Rafael Cordeiro to use his knees in the fight and that will be the key to victory.
Rony Jason tells a teammate he is afraid of getting tired. Serginho (Team Vitor) says his team knows Rony Jason lacks conditioning and can get tired.
Vitor Belfort told his team that Dana White had given him the option to replace a middleweight and a featherweight on his team. White never said that, Vitor is using the story to motivate his team. Belfort makes his team all talk to the camera for 30 seconds to say why they should stay. Members of Team Vitor are skeptical about the story but do work harder just in case Belfort is telling the truth.
Lyoto Machida arrives to the TUF gym on fight day to give a pep talk to Gasparzinho and Rony Jason.

Wanderlei Silva has words for Vitor Belfort after the fight in the octagon and says: “Are you happy now? Making two friends fight.” Vitor claims there was no other option but Wanderlei claims otherwise. Wanderlei and Vitor continue to argue and are held apart by referee Mario Yamasaki. Wanderlei is very upset despite his team winning for the first time in the competition. Belfort claims he did not know the two were friends and did not want to fight each other. Belfort also claims it was a team decision amongst his coaches for Gasparzinho to fight Rony Jason.
Vitor Belfort tells Gasparzinho that they showed that they may be friends but this is just a sport. Wanderlei tells Vitor to “go to hell.”
