King of the Underdogs - The Audition

Amir Sadollah is the man. More than in any other season of The Ultimate Fighter, and possibly any other reality show, Amir personified the underdog. His self-effacement in pre-fight interviews, outpourings of respect for his competitors, and unassuming physical presence all betrayed the fact the guy kicks ass.

As huge Oleg Taktarov fans, we immediately gravitated to Amir’s style of comeback victories and sneaky submissions in the jaws of defeat. The dude has a chin and when combined with a never-say-die attitude he’s the kind of fighter everyone has to respect.

How awesome that poster-boy C.B. Dolloway was so surprised by his loss to Amir in the TUF Semi-Finals the UFC gave him a second shot at Amir and Amir defies everyone but his most hardcore believers and woops C.B.’s ass again.

The groovy dudes over at Suckerpunch Entertainment have posted Amir’s audition video for The Ultimate Fighter 7. As we soak in the underdog victories in the Finale of TUF 8 we thought it would be appropriate to give the Amir Sadollah his just due. You want to see a REAL underdog? Watch Amir Sadollah.
