TUF finale tomorrow!

Make your predictions:

Roy Nelson (14-4) v. Brendan Schaub (5-0)

I think Nelson takes it based on his experience. Schaub has big hands though. Nelson wins via ground and pound tko.

Matt Hamill (8-2) v. Jon Jones (9-0)

Matt needs to get away from striking and get back to wrestling especially against a taller better striker. If Matt goes to wrestling he should win. I think Jones will overpower and win by tko though.

Kimbo Slice (3-1) v. Houston Alexander (9-4)

This should be a slugfest. Kimbo has the better chin and should win by KO.

Marcus Jones (4-2) v. Matt Mitrione (0-0)

I think big baby will destroy Meathead and then it'll be good riddance to him.

Darill Schoonover (10-0) v. James McSweeney (12-5)

I like McSweeney to win via tko.

I was only wrong on Big Baby. Smiler

A lot of people are complaining that the Finale show was a bust but it was on par with recent UFC PPVs and even better than a few recent ones.

Mitrione still fails to impress me. Marcus needs to work on all aspects of his stand up before he'll go anywhere. A guy that big should be able to throw hands and not depend so much on ground and pound.

Kimbo fought a good fight. Houston fought a tentative fight. Both were gassed by the 3rd round. I must say that Kimbo showed improvement with some ground game and the sweetest looking suplex that I've seen in the UFC in years. Kimbo needs to keep working with ATT because he's made big improvements in a short time frame but obviously still has a long way to go.

Hamill once again tried to stand up fight, why is he forgetting he's a wrestler? He clinched Jones and tried to strike? Jones got the takedown and totally dominated him. Hamill did end up with a injured shoulder but I don't think that would've mattered much with how Jones was all over him. Good call on the DQ for the illegal elbows. I don't agree that a fighter should win after a groin shot or other illegal blow and his opponent can't continue. However, the ref should've stopped the fight before Jones threw those illegal elbows.

Schaub was too overconfident that he was hurting Nelson after his 1st exhange and that Nelson couldn't hurt him. Nelson slowly worked the jab and was working the range. I told my daughter that Nelson was closing the gap and working the range and that Schaub needed to adjust and next thing he was being KO'd. Dumb game plan by Schaub and his team and bad ability of adjusting in the cage. Schaub has a lot of ability but he has a lot to work on. Good win for Nelson. I'm glad he shut Dana up.
