Ultimate Fighter Finale
Tuned in just to watch the Slice vs Alexander fight. All I got to say is: WEAKSAUCE!! Most boring, disappointing fight ever! The only move that looked good was the suplex Slice made on Alexander and that was it lol

I give Big Country his props. Dude went in there as the underdog and came out on top.

why do you assume it's his? SHE was the one standing in front of it.
per the rest of the fight card. Kimbo looked half decent. He was smart not just bum rushing Houston. Houston was scared out of his mind. It might be smart to take smacks at someone's weak point and it may turn out to be the one thing Kimbo can't get passed... EVERYONE will be gunning for that knee. But I also think it's the ***** way out. He really only caught it good once or twice and the only one that really hurt was the back door trip. A better striker would have kicked Houstons head off after the first minute of circling. Unfortunately Kimbo doesn't have head kicks. He was just circling right into a left head kick. I have honestly lost all the "fear/respect" factor for Houston after that fight. Hell I thought they should have stopped it when kimbo had him on the ground in the second round. He was rocked and he gave up. He was looking for a way out but kimbo's JJ isn't there yet. He tried but most guys would have ended it with a rear naked in the second. Houston rolled in to it. He wanted out.
I felt bad for the Hammer. Dude got man handled. But I think the judges made the right call on disqualification. Those elbows are as dangerous as it comes. I personally think that they are trying to force fighters to walk to close a line with elbows. They should just outlaw ALL elbows that come from that downward motion. In that position even I could smash a quality fighters face and end his career. If the ref would have let him throw 1 or 2 more of those Matt's eye socket would have been gone. The guy said... that's an illegal elbow and he through 2 more right after. Too bad too because he had that fight wrapped up.
Meat head looked half decent. Got some heavy hands. Big baby is a big strong dude but he's got a glass jaw. I don't think the fight game is where he should be. He won't last long. Only a matter of time before he gets matched up with the wrong dude and takes a massive blow. Maybe just keep working on his ground game and become a heavyweight coach.

I felt terrible for the hammer too, but what was even more amazing was his response to his disqualification. True sportsmanship right there. I gained SO much respect for him

Jones handled it very well. He seems like a really good young dude. With that kind of attitude and the god given gifts he has he's gonna be HUGE. I mean the dude has a ridiculous reach for ANY weight class. The guy reminds me of a young silva. Just crazy angles on his strikes and they're ALL vicious. A lot like rumble johnson. Long lanky and dangerous.
Hammer is a solid fighter but that's a really bad match up for him.

Yeah, that Jones vs "The Hammer" fight was crazy to watch. Jones is one Lanky Dude, but man he can strike. I am really looking forward to seeing him fight again. It sucks what happened though as "The Hammer" is one of my favorite fighters and it sucked watching him just get brutalized like that. There was so much blood in his face that his eyes were covered and he couldn't even see for a while.
Definitely agree that the Kimbo Slice vs Houston Alexander fight was one of the Most Pathetic & Boring 1st rounds (well ANY round) of fighting I've ever seen. Seriously they even commented on the fact by saying something like "We are going to end up with 5 different camera angles of 4 different things and NOTHING is happening" or something to that extent. As soon as they rang the bell for the end of the fight both fighters instantly dropped to have their hands on their knees as they were totally gassed. Everyone at our place was cracking up.
Yeah, Brendan Schaub definitely has a nice ride (the car's pretty nice too ).
Did anyone else notice that "Big Country" came out to "Weird Al's - Fat"?
Loved when he won and then he climbed up and was sitting on the top of the octagon rubbing his belly. Pure comedy right there.
