The Ultimate Fighter Heavyweights (aka Season of Kimbo Slice) Post Finale Thoughts

What we learned watching The Ultimate Fighter Finale (most of which we already knew but hoped we were wrong).

• Marcus "Big Baby" Jones has a glass chin. A fighter can improve his skill by training but you are either made to take a punch or not. "Big Baby" can't take a punch. He will have a short career in the UFC.

• Matt Mitrione is the type of athlete you want to root against. He will get a few more fights and UFC fans will cheer for him to lose. The guy is just annoying to watch and I can't figure out why.

• Frankie Edgar, if it is possible, looks too small to be a light weight. Matt Veach was the much bigger fighter and took him down with ease until his cardio gave out. Edgar, may be small, but he is quite tenacious. He is probably another quality win away from facing the light weight champ. I think he is too small to win but he is close to getting a shot!

• I don't know if showing so much of Hulk Hogan helps the UFC develop credibility with the fringe viewers. If I were the UFC I would try to avoid any connection or comparison to the WWE.

• I found it ironic that a guy with the nickname of "The Southside Strangler" would lose to a STANDING rear naked choke. Mark Bocek proved to be the real "Southside Strangler!"

• No one would have thought the Kimbo Slice versus Houston Alexander fight would actually go 3 rounds. Houston Alexander danced around and used leg kicks! Kimbo actually took Houston down and dominated on the ground! I felt like I had entered some sort of weird parallel universe. Kimbo might just have a future in MMA and the UFC.

• After watching the interview with BJ Penn and Diego Sanchez I can't wait for the fight next week. I am beginning to lean towards Diego shocking the MMA world.

• I totally underestimated Jon Jones! He looked incredible! Completely dominated Matt Hamill. His 85 inch reach is going to difficult for any light heavyweight to deal with. I predicted a Matt Hamill victory so I will take the DQ win.

• Darrill Schoonover and James McSweeney have no future in the UFC.

• The coaches for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter are......(drum roll please) Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz! That will be awesome! I am definitely going to the event where the coaches fight. Liddell versus Tito 3!

• Roy Nelson has just ruined Dana White's day! Roy Nelson knocked Brendan Schaub out! Dana White is going to have to deal with "Big Country" being in the UFC for awhile. Knock out of the night.

I can't wait until the next season of The Ultimate Fighter. Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz will be incredible entertainment.

Thanks to the Jon Jones DQ I was 7-3 in my predictions. I have turned around from my previous lackluster performances.
