In our first preview covering The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 Finale that will take place this Saturday at the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada, we'll look at a clash of two former NFL players who will be competing in a completely different environment than the gridiron. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Marcus Jones (4-1) will take on former Minnesota Viking, San Francisco 49er, and New York Giant Matt Mitrione (0-0) in a match-up that is being sold as a settlement of a grudge. That grudge formed after Jones found out that his good friend within The Ultimate Fighter house, Scott Junk, received two tears in his retina from the eye poke he received during his battle with Mitrione. Jones took the news very emotionally and proceeded to walk up on Mitrione in an angry rage.... yeah, don't ask me how Jones went from accidental eye poke to Mitrione ruined Junk's career on purpose. In any case, they'll settle the "grudge" on Saturday.
This isn't a tough match to break down by any means. Jones is obviously a load on the ground as he has size and strength coupled with some jiu-jitsu know-how from his training at Gracie Tampa. There are plenty of former NFL players out there who will tell you that Jones was one of the strongest guys they've ever faced while they were in the NFL, and he certainly uses that power in the cage. Unfortunately, he's slow and inexperienced in the striking department, the area in which Brendan Schaub took full advantage in the semi-finals.
Mitrione's best chance relies on his horribly formed striking game. While his show performances didn't give any of us confidence that he'll be a good fighter in the future, the proper training camp can have some surprising results. Just look at Ben Saunders. Mitrione has some good coaches in Chris Lytle and Jake O'Brien to help form his raw repertoire of skills, but will it be enough to stop "The Darkness" from crushing him inside one round?
I won't beat around the bush when it comes to my feeling about how this match-up came about or why its even happening. Obviously, Marcus Jones is a guy who can be a formidable opponent if he can improve his striking and avoid exposing his chin to punishment. He has a dominating ground game, but he obviously has major holes. He does have some major upside if he can improve his weaknesses and ground tactics though, and this is likely a chance for the UFC to give him some more exposure to the casual fan base.
Marcus Jones takes this fight on the ground as Mitrione's stand-up is just horrific to watch. Hands down, quick jab with some reach, and chin up in the air... it's just not the recipe for success. Jones won't capitalize on his chin, but he'll surely clinch up and plop Mitrione on his back. Look for Marcus to win in the first round.

And it was unexpected?
There is a reason he was monikered “Big Baby”. He’s a mental midget who somehow confused “accidentally” with “purposefully”. He’s a crime spree waiting to happen in my opinion.

The guy just gives off that vibe of behavior. He was overly sensitive over the course of the whole show. He wanted to fucking KILL someone for that cartoon someone drew, and shit like that. As soon as I saw the portion of the van scene where he is sitting there in silence with an angry look, I knew we’d see him in Mitrione’s face. And I literally turned the channel to the Food Network to watch how to bake Chicken Rissoto over that garbage.

Cook the chicken and risotto separately. Bring chicken stock and water (combined) to a boil, reduce heat. While you’re doing that, toast the risotto with olive oil (just so it stars to brown a bit.) Add one ladle of broth,stirring until fully absorbed. Continue adding broth one ladle at a time, until its all absorbed. Add chicken, parmesan, veggies (I prefer shrooms) stir, and serve.

Probably the same people who saw Jones lumber forward with his head sticking straight out like a black Frankenstein last night. Mitrione might not be much be he does hit like a truck.
I hope Jones can get his stand up together because he could be a serious contender. I’d like to see his size and strength match up with Brock. As of now though….Brock would knock his head off.

I was thinking something similar to this last night. At the beginning of the fight with Schaub where he had taken mount, I was thinking how much he reminds me of Brock. Someone with so much power, speed, and athleticism that he completely changes how you approach a fight. You cant even imagine clinching or being on you back against him.
But then the wheels fell off, and i stopped makinig the comparison.

From what I’ve seen Jones can take mitrione down at will. Once he falls on his back he is never getting up. Everything will depend on what happened between the show and the event. But as of now I see no reason to give this to mitrione.

Mitrione will tap as soon as Marcus looks mean at him.
Srsly, why is Mitrione fighting here? He’s not a fighter… He quit early on in the show, just didn’t have the nads to say so, and played games the rest of the season. He was looking for a way out of the fight as soon as he stepped in the ring with McSweeny.

You can tell from Dana’s reactions to Jones’ victories that he wants to sign Jones. Mitrione is NOT a UFC caliber fighter and is honestly just a regional level Heavyweight, so this is kind of a “gimme” fight for Big Baby. I give Marcus four good years at most in this sport. Doing the NFL probably put some wear and tear on his body.

If Schaub and Marcus Jones fought 10 times, Marcus would take 8. Against Mitrione, he takes all 10. This guy is getting a UFC contract, no doubt in my mind.

I don’t think so. If you can shrimp full mount like that when the guy on top of you is way bigger, the guy on top is going to get beat a lot by anyone who knows what they’re doing.

Schaub trains at Greg Jackson’s with Carwin, Rashad and Jardine… for some reason I feel like if either of them have have improved, it would probably be Schaub. If they fought right now, would Schaub even get taken down?

Marcus Jones
Most folks know that Marcus Jones was drafted in the first round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A lot of folks don’t realize that he was drafted 22 overall in 1996. That’s impressive on its own. But look at the players ahead of whom he was drafted:
Jeff Hartings (all-pro Center and Super Bowl champion with the Steelers)
Eric Moulds (3-time pro bowl receiver, most notably with the Bills)
Ray Lewis (arguably the greatest linebacker of all time)
Oh, and let’s not forget that he once tackled Barry Sanders in the open field.

In response to this, I wrote this wonderful thing about Ray Lewis. Still, as my intention was to avoid actually discussing him at length, I’ve decided not to post it here.

Let’s be honest here; Bruce is not the answer. Good dude, actually cares (which was nice to see on Turkey Day) but if he’s our long term solution, I hope Tom Cable finally figures out that a 2:1 pass-run ratio is stupid.
Also, I fully expect the Steelers to cover the spread, and possibly the over, by themselves.

Nope, but Chicago is a media nightmare. The only place that might rival it is New York, but with the Cubs not having a World Series ring in 100 years and the typical Midwest lifestyle that is deeply engrained in football… it’s on the docket every day.
The worst problem is the O Line. Fucking Pace gets killed every game, and they have Frank Omiyale at Left guard, and he’s never played it. He’s horrible. Cutler has no receivers, and Olsen is being a pussy about going after balls. Forte doesn’t hit the hole hard at all. Interesting how the Bears use Kahlil Bell on two plays, and he gets 80 fucking yards and hits the hole 1000x harder.

Thoughts on Devin Hester?
I agree one thousand percent about Pace. I was hoping the Ravens would sign him. He was one of the best Lineman of this generation, but he’s old and busted. Here’s a tip: when the Rams don’t want a player anymore, you probably shouldn’t sign him. Another example of this: Torry Holt.
Is Chris Williams any good? I like to think that he is but I can’t tell if he’s not even starting over Orlando Pace. I mean, Williams is at RT these days, right? Still, he can’t be worse than Pace at this point. Or maybe he is. That’s why I asked the question.

Hester’s hands are vastly better, but Cutler is more of a vertical passing game guy rather than throwing to a fade route type of guy. Hester gets overthrown because Cutler is afraid to throw INTs now. Hester as a PR is much better this year though, but penalties killed some of our bigger returns.
Hester isn’t bad, give it another year.
Pace got absolutely fucking tooled by Jared Allen. I mean, it was horrendous. The only reason Allen didn’t get a ton of sacks was because Cutler was three-step dropping and throwing shitty 3 yard passes.
Williams is moving to left tackle this week in place of Omiyale, so we’ll see. I can’t really tell if he’s good because the whole line gets destroyed. Williams is okay, but he’s been beaten bad a few times.

At least Williams is still young.
I like Hester a lot, actually. I feel like he’s a nice number 2 or a great slot receiver (even though he doesn’t run intermediary routes).
I love how Cutler is afraid to throw interception NOW. Who cares now? They are out of the playoff race and he already leads the league in INTs!

Not really. I just think it’s a bad season for Cutler. He’s never been a technically sound QB, but his arm is amazing. He can do things that most QB’s can’t.
The receiver core is the real problem. Cutler doesn’t have a big man threat within the WR core, and Olsen is his only threat within the TE core. Olsen gets doubled sometimes because of it, and then it’s relying on getting a pass in before getting killed.
Cutler has been hit so many times this season. I don’t really blame the guy. Some of the INTs aren’t his fault as well. Two in the SF game were because Hester fell, and the other was blatant pass interference.

Was my attempt at sarcasm
J-Lau and KenFlo are two of the stupidest.

I honestly like “Big Baby” because that was a nickname given to him, and not something made up that Jones thought was cool. Many nicknames, especially in Brazil, are not supposed to be endearing like Cigano (Gypsy), Napao (Big Nose), Banha (Fat), or Tellys (Paul Kelly), but they wear them like a badge of honor. Same with Matt Mitrione, he should keep the “Meathead” nickname. “Titties” is a different story though.

I'm picking Mitrione
Now I may have this totally wrong but it seems everyone on the show blowing smoke up Marcuses arse and saying how big and scary he is gave him the feeling of being unbeatable.
When he lost it seemed losing wasn’t something he had given the slightest thought to leading up to the fight.
Then when it happens he says he doesn’t think he’ll fight anymore. It’s like he expected to go his whole career undefeated.
