“The Ultimate Fighter” season 10 cast member Darrill Schoonover (10-0) has been called back to active duty with the U.S. Army after almost two years since his honorable discharge, and will report shortly after his Dec. 5 fight on the TUF Finale.

In a recent radio interview, Schoonover, who had four years of previous service in the Army, believes he’ll be heading to Afghanistan to serve as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.

“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.”

Schoonover has amassed a 10-0 record even before stepping into the TUF house and defeated Team Rampage fighter Zak Jensen in the show’s first elimination round. In the Spike TV series finale, Schoonover will meet former NFL player Marcus Jones in the quarterfinals.
