The tenth season of the The Ultimate Fighter has wrapped up!
The Roy “The Big Country” Nelson vs Brendan “The Hybrid” Schaub matchup co-headlined the finale of TUF: Heavyweights which was held at the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA last December 5, 2009.
After 12 episodes, the UFC-produced reality show The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights is finally coming to an end with its season finale on December 5, Saturday 9:00 PM PT/ 8:00 PM CT at the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
At the first semifinals bout held during Episode 12, Roy “The Big Country” Nelson used his belly to pin James McSweeney to the ground in a crucifix position and threw 21 unanswered punches to McSweeney’s head which prompted referee Steve Mazzagatti to stop the fight at the 4:11 mark of the 1st Round awarding a TKO victory to Nelson. Incidentally, that was the same technique used by Nelson against Kimbo Slice on Episode 3. Afterward, UFC President Dana White said that The Big Country finally impressed him.
In the other semifinals match, Brendan “The Hybrid” Schaub and Marcus “The Darkness” Jones clashed it out. Jones started strong and was able to full mount Schaub but the latter escaped. At the stand-up position, Jones delivered a knee to Schaub’s head which momentarily staggered Schaub. Schaub came back strong with a right hand that sent Jones to the canvas. He immediately unleashed a flurry of punches to Jones’ face and the fight was stopped at the 2:11 mark of the 1st Round by referee Josh Rosenthal awarding a KO victory to Schaub.
Kevin Ferguson AKA Kimbo Slice is easily one of the most famous MMA fighters today becoming a YouTube sensation when his unsanctioned street fights against several brawlers were videod and plastered all over YouTube.
He won his first 3 matches as a professional MMA fighter but lost his last fight via knockout in only 14 seconds to Seth Petruzelli. Since then, his career has spiraled down. It did not help either that EliteXC, the organization he fights for has gone bankrupt allegedly because of that controversial loss.
