The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale

One of those fatties was an NFL player fyi...Mitrione was a DT for the Vikings. Jones has no standup game and Schaub got caught...same thing happened to Couture against Brock.

yeah, my bad, I forgot who the other NFLer was, I really didnt watch the season, I just fast forwarded to the awful fights at the end

This was a brutal season, the UFC is going the worng direction with this show

As for why I thought Houston won the fight, I think by the UFC's 10 point must system, Houston won rounds 1 and 3. By Pride judging rules, Kimbo did more damage and came much, much closer to ending the fight. I would argue that it was a draw, the rounds being scored 10-9, 8-10, 10-9, but UFC judges almost never award a 10-8 round

Agreed. I couldn't see how Kimbo won the 1st or 3rd round. I had it 29-28, but contemplated a 10-8 for Kimbo in the 2nd that would have resulted in a draw. I just gave him the 10-9 in the 2nd due to the fact that UFC judges hardly ever award the 10-8.

no chance for jones/hamill fight to be overturned to a no contest

LAS VEGAS -- The Nevada State Athletic Commission utilized instant replay for the first time in mixed martial arts competition when referee Steve Mazzagatti disqualified Jon Jones at “The Ultimate Fighter 10” Finale on Saturday at the Palms Casino Resort.

NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer confirmed that Mazzagatti made his decision to disqualify Jones after looking at replays that showed the 22-year-old delivering three illegal downward elbows to the face of Matt Hamill. Kizer made it a point to back Mazzagatti’s judgment.

“At the end of the day, they were illegal elbows; the only call he can make is a disqualification,” Kizer said. “He made the call he had to make.”

Jones, who now trains under the Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts banner in Albuquerque, N.M., dominated most of the match and battered Hamill with strikes from the full mount up until the stoppage. Kizer said Jones would not face disciplinary action since the blows were clearly not of a malicious nature, but he was quick to dismiss the idea of ruling the bout a no contest.

“The only time it can be a no contest is if it’s an accidental foul,” Kizer said.

Despite a disappointing end to an otherwise productive outing, Jones did little to tarnish his standing as one of the game’s top young talents. However, he did openly question why Mazzagatti failed to step in on Hamill’s behalf long before the illegal elbows were unleashed.

“I hit him with so many legal blows,” Jones said. “I was looking for a way to get in and be more effective. I didn’t realize it was an illegal shot. I hit him so many times. I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t stopped. I think after 14 or 15 unanswered punches, it should have been stopped. It was kind of awkward hitting him like that.”

Jones, who wowed the crowd with his athleticism and unorthodox style, vowed to move forward and learn from his first defeat in 10 professional appearances.

“I’m at peace,” Jones said. “You can’t live in the past and you can’t skip forward into the future. My day-to-day goal is to make the present a beautiful thing.”

honestly the fight should of been stopped. hamill wasnt OUT but he was done. cant really fault jones, he was just trying anything to get the fight stopped and accidentally threw illegal elbows. despite the loss jones stock just skyrocketed.

Exactly, the loss is actually a win for Jones. This "loss" will do more for his career than any of his wins.
