One-on-one with TUF 6's Dorian Price

As many of you following this season's The Ultimate Fighter show know, Dorian Price was eliminated in last Wednesday's episode.

According to a Spike TV news release, Price was born and raised in Baltimore.  He received his undergraduate degree from Hampton University before moving on to Ohio State University, where he earned his MBA.  According to the release, Price currently trains full-time in MMA in Cincinnati, Ohio.

MMA Madness' Ryan McKinnell went one-on-one with Price after his recent elimination from the show.  In the interview, Price sheds some light on what it's like being in the TUF house.  When asked what bothered him the most when he was on the show, Price responded by saying:

...the cameras drove me nutty a little bit. So, it’s the cameras and the fact that you’re not in control of your own destiny, you know? There’s no telling how they are gonna edit this thing or how it’s gonna turn out. I think that’s unfortunate because we all know how it really happened. Ratings sell, you know, so a lot of the time they try to make something out of nothing. So it is up to them to make TV because ratings sell, and like I said I could have stayed in that house for a year if it hadn’t been for all the cameras. I could have done without the phones and outside contact, training twice a day -- nothing better than that.
