Darrill Schoonover is getting recalled to active army duty. I didn't even know he was in the military.

Wish him the best of luck and hope he returns safe.

400 day stint.
He said he's going to use it lose weight and get his cardio up. Good move i guess.
He's really out of shape.

Look at him before

No titties there.

Mitrione is such a b**ch, If he had brain swelling he would be in the hospital.


This season has been weak.

Nelson is a joke . No ultimate fighter should be a fat ass like that . He'll he get his clock cleaned against normal UFC heavyweight competition .

He has held his own with Ben Rothwell, Arlovski, and Jeff Monson. He is a top 25 HW in the world. Don't let the gut fool you.

So Nelson will be in the finale. Schaub and Marcus should have been in separate fights in the semifinals, would rather see the two of them fight in the finale.

I knew Marcus would murder Titties. Nelson did the same to James what he did to Kimbo. Did not expect Schaub to take Marcus out like that.

Too bad Marcus Jones didn't get into MMA until he was 33. He seems like a true student of the game and it would be awesome to see that combined with his athletic prime. Even at 35 he's still a force. He took all three guys down like it was nothing and showed some tremendous skill on the ground. It sucks that he got KO'd, but I'd say the best two fighters made it to the finals.

A smart man once said Nelson and Schaub were the guys to beat. I am that wise man. I also thought Schoonover had a great chance, but he is a natural 205 and had no chance against a monster like Marcus. Marcus was very impressive as well.

This was easily the best TUF episode in a long time. The fights were good, the jokes were plenty, and the drama was endless. This season was hit or miss, but it sure ended with a bang.

You actually said Roy (who everyone was picking) and Titties. :wink:

This is true. Before the season started I took those 2 but once it started and I saw how big Schoon was compared to the redwoods I change my pick. Either way, I said those 3 were the class of the show before there was ever a fight. And I still maintain that Schoon could have beat most anyone on that show, Marcus was just too big.

Nelson was the consensus pick. Either way I'm not really that impressed with Schaub. He's been caught a few times and if his opponents had better skill could've finished him in some of those spots. He's a good athlete, but I think Nelson beats him easily like he has all the rest, dude's just outclassed everyone inside the cage so far.

+1, not at all impressed with Schaub. Great athlete, mediocre fighter. Nelson should take him to school with ease. BTW stop gloating about your MMA prowess Camo, we ALL were on deck that Nelson was the fav, not to mention I heard it from a spoiler before the season started, I just didnt want to ruin it on here.

To be fair, I also talked up Schaub when no one knew who he was.

I think everyone knew that "Fat Country" would make it to the finals.

Pretty much. He is a top 25 HW in a house with a bunch of prospects and scrubs.

Very dissapointed in Marcus the Darkness. I feared he would get KO'd against Schuab cus I looked up his record and he has a KO loss before, and his head is about as big as some middleweights. But they man took Schuab down in a second, and even got him in full mount, yet didnt throw a single **** punch!

WTF!!!!! WTF ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!

He KO'd Schoon after about 3 GNP's, yet he somehow doesnt like to GNP. Even in the Schoon fight, he basically had him full mounted, and then let him stand? THe only difference was Schuab made him pay. Marcus just doesnt have a fighters instinct at all. IN all honesty I think him and Mittrione should both retire, they may be fans of the sport, but they don't have the right attitude to fight in the UFC.

Not really impressed with Schuab though either. He looks good so far and is very athletic, but he is a one-dimensional striker, and there are way better well-rounded strikers at heavyweight. So until he changes this he will only go so far.

Big Country is Big Country. Hes a decent vet with a good chin and he knows how to use his belly. That is all. If Schuabs stand up is legit, he will take out Nelson. If not, Nelson FTW. Im gonna put Nelson as the favourite right now.
