The Ultimate Fighter 10 Fighter Darrill Schoonover Recalled By Army

Darrill Schoonover TUF 10

Ultimate Fighter season 10 contender Darrill Schoonover (also nicknamed “Titties” by TUF coach Rampage Jackson ) was recently recalled by the Army.  He told Shambala Sports Radio that he would be serving for at least 400 days, most likely in the areas of Afghanistan.  If he is able to get past Marcus Jones and later enter the final round of the Ultimate Fighter, he’ll be able to stay.  If not, he’ll be immediately sent off to serve the U.S. Army.

From Darrill Schoonover:

I fight December 5th — I’m not allowed to say who I’m fighting — but I have my fight on the finale, and then after that, I just got orders, got called back in active duty into the Army. I was in the Army for four years, I got out with an honorable discharge, I’ve been out for almost two years now and they just called me back. On the orders it says ‘Operation Enduring Freedom,’ so I’m pretty sure I’m going to Afghanistan. Not 100% yet, but that’s what my orders are telling me…I have four years active, and then I have four years inactive, which means I don’t have to report to anybody, I don’t have to do anything. But if for any reason anything happens in the future, then they can call me back at any time…At first I was kind of pissed. I was just like, ‘Yeah well, I’ve already served my country for four years and I’ve already been out for almost two years. I’m getting my fighting started and getting the ball rolling with all that, and now you’re calling me back.’ At first I was kind of mad, but then the very next day, I just accepted it. I was just like ‘yeah, I gotta go over there and do what I gotta do,’ and then come back in a year and continue working on my fighting. At first I was kind of pissed … I was like, ‘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. I’ll do what I gotta do, and then I’ll come back and work on my fighting.”
