TUF 10 Finale: Kimbo's Ground Game, Big KO's, and Big Country

17 Minutes (17) into the hour, after all the set up and a couple commercial breaks, Bruce Buffer finally yelled, “We are live…”

12 Marcus Jones was about as tired as I was with the waiting. He raced out and took Matt Mitrione down in (12) seconds.

4 Number of children (4) Chris Lytle has. He took time away from his family to work in Matt Mitrione’s corner, Mitrione played his college ball at Purdue and Lytle is an Indianapolis native.

10 Mitrione stopped Jones just (10) seconds into round two and I didn’t get to see. The station on which I was watching showed commercials for about three minutes and when we came back it was over. Time to send an angry email I guess.

39 Minutes (39) into the first hour, and during a commercial, when I hit submit on the customer feedback form.

51 Mike Goldberg let us know that Edgar is (5-1) inside the Octagon and he is coming off a win against Sean Sherk. Wonder if he had a hard time getting fired up fro Veach who has just one win in the promotion.

414 Guess not, after a big right hand Edgar subbed Veach with a rear naked choke in round two. It was his first submission win since (4/14) in 2006.

59 At (59) minutes into the first hour, after we watched Houston Alexander rock back and forth repeatedly, Joe Rogan interviewed Hulk Hogan and they hyped up an upcoming Spike event. Now is this UFC stuff real or is it scripted? And does this mean Shane McMahon is with the UFC now? And when can they bring chairs into the Octagon?

326 We got an extra (3:26) of action as we saw Joe Brammer make an unsuccessful UFC debut against Mark Bocek. “The Southside Strangler” was standing RNC’d by Bocek. During the fight Rogan gave us an interesting nugget of information saying, “Bocek by the way was one of the first guys to train Lorenzo Fertitta and Dana White. That’s how they met this Young man.”

26 Minutes (26) into the second hour when it really did happen, Kimbo entered the Octagon for his first official UFC fight.

76 I bet Houston was pretty pissed about the scheduled fight time. His Nebraska Cornhuskers were trailing the Texas Longhorns by the score of (7-6) in the 3rd quarter of the Big 12 Championship game.

120 After (120) seconds of following Alexander Kimbo raised his hands like, can we fight please.

255 We didn’t see any real exchange until (2:55) into round one.

2 Times (2) in the first three minutes of round two Kimbo mounted Houston. He did it again with under a minute remaining in the round.

1 Big kicks (1) to the knee by Alexander dropped Kimbo in round three, but Kimbo ended up in Alexander’s half guard. And when it was all said and done, (1) the number of wins for Kimbo in the UFC as he claimed the decision.

2 About (2) minutes after Joe interviewed Kimbo, a perfectly timed interview of Joe with B.J. Penn and Diego Sanchez aired…

5 Probably about (5) million people saw it seeing as it came on the heels of Kimbo/Alexander and I bet it was worth at least a few PPV buys next week.

845 Jon Jones’ reach is (84.5) inches! I think he’s related to Stretch.

1 Jones didn’t use his reach, instead he used (1) big throw to work to mount and pummel Matt Hamill.

11 After we saw James McSweeney TKO Darrill Schoonover Joe interviewed Dana White and we found out that there would be a Chuck vs. Tito 3 as they will be the coaches for TUF (11).

406 Length (4:06) of Michael Jackson’s “Bad.” Roy Nelson entered to the tune while Brendan Schaub waited in the Octagon.

159 Time (1:59) when Schaub was able to get the fight back to the feet. Nelson had been in side control for over a minute.

1 Goldberg said to Joe, “You’re funny, you should be a comedian,” and then bam, Nelson landed (1) right hand just behind Schaub’s ear and he was out cold.

6 Nelson claims the (6) figure contract.
