Court McGee showed Kris McCray that if your game relies on getting on top of your opponent on the ground, you need to be the better wrestler. McGee took down McCray at will throughout the two round bout before finally choking him out in round two.
The eleventh Ultimate Fighter Finale saw Court McGee face off with Kris McCray for the famous six figure UFC contract.
McGee got an early take down and worked to batter McCray from inside his guard. McCray fought back to his feet, only to be taken again. Huge bombing left hand landed for McGee. He forearm cross-faced McCray but McCray got back up. McCray seemed visibly diminished when they stood back up. He forced a clinch but couldn't do too much with it as McGee proved the better wrestler. A take down landed McGee in half guard. McGee tried to pass and McCray stood back up and attacked with a string of punches before clinching up again. McGee landed a combination on the break. They traded wildly at the end of the round.
McGee looked fresher in the face off before the second round. McCray again pushed forward to the clinch but McGee again outwrestled him and took McCray right down. This time he went straight to mount and worked for an arm-triangle choke. McCray escaped the hold, but not the mount. McCray controlled his opponent's posture well enough to avoid taking too much damage while on his back. He rolled and McGee took his back but a second roll got him free. Then McGee immediately took him down with a double leg.

The TUF finale between Kendall Grove and Ed Herman showed me...
that the guys who finish the show are often no where near the same guys who show up for the finale event.
Alot can change between the end of the TUF filming and the fight depending on the camp the guys work with.
Dude. It's Anderson Silva.
If he gives a damn he will end Sonnen’s night by either sub or KO.

it looks like he can
and he definatly should do it now instead of wasting a few fights at mw
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
Agreed
The whole format of the show requires these guys to basically fight at their natural weight or starve themselves for six weeks.

Its about fighting, not typing
Looks like you guys backed the wrong horse, Mcray never had a chance.
Maybe rethink your analyzing without the favoritism

He was impressive
I think he can have a meaningful run in the UFC if he can continue to improve steadily.
I gotta say, Court seems like hes got the tools to be a force, he broke Mcray with the first takedown.

no.
he doesn’t have the skills to be a force anywhere.
I see him becoming a middle of the pack fighter.

I have to agree. I like McGee and picked him to win, but I got the feeling that he is a jack-of-all-trades kind of fighter where he looks to be good at everything, but not great at any one thing. I wish him the best though, and who knows, he can prove me wrong.

Way too early to tell. Give him a chance. I was impressed. It was probably the best fight of the night.
I was impressed too.
but he showed GLARING holes. I Picked him to win, and I like the guy, but I don’t see him being a contender at MW or WW.

They took down my McGee pick yesterday. Probably because it was accompanied by cartoon nudity.

The Villians!
Don’t they know EVERYTHING is better with Cartoon Nuidity…the lack of it was why the Health Care Bill took so long to get passed.

Yeah, some tentacle rape likely would have pushed it along.

I would definitely have a drink with myself
Why are the posts out of order? Could it be that they are placed in order of the BE favs.

Thorough ass kicking
Reading those BE staff predictions makes me scratch my head. I don’t know why everyone is so down on McGee. Better than either Season 9 winner for damn sure.
GO SPURS GO!!!
gonna disagree there
bader has looked very good at lhw, and beaten pretty good fighters so far
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
except he was on season 8
still i like pearson so im gonna disagree
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
I like Pearson as well
But I never see him as more than a gatekeeper. Court I could see being a contender in 3 or 4 years.
GO SPURS GO!!!
That was season 8
season 9 was US vs UK, Ross Pearson and James Wilks won that year.

McCray = Not Good
Honestly, I know you have to hype fighters up, but the things Kenny Florian and Mike Goldberg were saying about McCray was laughable. He is not good and not “savage” at all. Moreover, that “savage” thing he does it totally lame.

I agree he's not very talented
But what the hell, brah. He seems like a cool guy, lay off before we get 30 posts of haters gonna hate.
by Electro Boy on Jun 20, 2010 12:20 AM EDT up reply actions
I think the savage pose is alright. Not totally gay or anything and it’s good for a gimmick.
He looks like one of the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo.
by Electro Boy on Jun 20, 2010 12:23 AM EDT up reply actions
He was savage
that is not the Kris that fought in the UWC. The cool calculating approach he’s taking now doesn’t suit him. I think luke (like myself) were making predictions based on what we’d seen of Kris pre-tuf. IDK what the hell is going on, but he’s not doing things like he used to.

Being from a wrestling background...
I just love the fact that American wrestling is completely dominating this sport. It just makes me smile from ear to ear.

Which in turn is part of the problem that some people have with this sport LOL
Whether “American” ties into it or not.
Knees?
Allow knees to a downed opponent and people will stop whining. Wrestlers will have another way to finish and the fights will be more exciting. The good thing is Dana has said before he wants to eventually allow knees but wants to get the sport in more areas that ban it first.
I'd say...
enjoy it while it lasts since dominant styles in MMA is very cyclical.
Dude. It's Anderson Silva.

I am very proud of what wrestling has done for the sport.
