Episode three of The Ultimate Fighter season six claimed Team Hughes’ Billy Miles, a highly touted wrestler out of California, as its third victim. The stakes were high this week as both teams were out to take a 2-1 lead in the competition.

MMA Madness: Well, first why don’t you tell us how you ended up on the show? Did you get recruited or did you go through the application process?

Have to give him some credit, he didn't make any excuses about cutting weight.

Good guy. Good interview.

That was a good article. He seems like a stand up kinda guy. (No pun int'd.) Fesses up to his weaknesses and such. Hope to see what he can really do. Miles kind of reminds me of that guy who Rashad Evans beat, I think his name was Mike and he trained with Hughes at his camp before the Hughes/Franklin Season. Everybody thought he was the favorite, but he couldn't get past Rashad Evans.
