Tonight, at 9:00 is the finale of the The Ultimate Fighter Heavyweights live and free on Spike. Although this was, by far, the worst season ever I will fulfill my blogger duties and give you my picks for this evenings bouts.
Roy Nelson over Brendan Schaub: I cannot stand Nelson, nor do I think he is that good, but the fact is that his experience and more importantly his size make him hard to finish. I like Nelson by TKO in round 2.
Houston Alexander over Kimbo Slice: It would be hard to argue that Kimbo impressed anyone this season. After seeing his highlight reel knockouts on Youtube, everyone expected a fierce brawler when he stepped in to the octagon. Unfortunately, we all found out that he is an inexperienced 35 year old with knockout power and very little else. Alexander is coming off 3 straight 1st round losses, but I expect him to bounce back tonight.
Marcus Jones over Matt Mitrione: The dumbest feud ever will come to a head tonight. This fight could go either way, because Marcus has shown he has a soft chin and Mitrione has power, but I think Marcus will try and take Mitrione down and finish him on the ground.
James McSweeney over Darrill Schoonover: I think McSweeney's speed will play a factor as he wins this fight and then I'll be happy to never have to look at either of these guys again.
Justin Wren over Jon Madsen: I really like what I saw out of Wren in his fight versus Roy, who was much bigger than Madsen.
Jon Jones over Matt Hamill: Bones is coming off 3 straight wins against solid opponents and really has developed into a solid all around fighter. Great skills in and out of the clinch will make tough work for Hamill, who really hasn't beaten anyone near Bones caliber.
Frank Edgar over Matt Veach
Brian Stann over Rodney Wallace
