I didn't watch the season, so don't feel comfortable picking the TUF fights.
Alright I'm finally getting to the point to where I think I can make good calls on these fights. Especially considering I saw everyone episode of this season.
Main Card
Middleweight bout: Jamie Yager vs. Rich Attonito
Jamie is just too much flash - but once he gets hit he wilts so damn fast
Lightweight bout: Spencer Fisher vs. Dennis Siver
Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Aaron Simpson
Middleweight bout: Court McGee vs. Kris McCray
Court is way too much for McCray
Light Heavyweight bout: Matt Hamill vs. Keith Jardine
Preliminary Card
Heavyweight bout: James McSweeney vs. Travis Browne
Middleweight bout: James Hammortree vs. Chris Camozzi
Middleweight bout: Kyle Noke vs. Josh Bryant
Middleweight bout: Brad Tavares vs. Seth Baczynski
Tavares will be a star in the UFC - book it.
Lightweight bout: John Gunderson vs. Mark Holst
That Yager kid is a . I hope he gets his ass beat.
Court is one tough ass kid. He should be able to bully McCray.
Some of these fights are just way too tough to call, I really can't pick a real winner other than Hamil over Jardine. Court is magic, but Kris has a lot of heart. It'll be a boring fight, but I think Court just has good vibes on his side and will win it.
This season doesn't have too many exciting fighters, although Yager/Rich and Kyle/Josh and Brad/Seth are exciting match-ups in terms of styles we've seen from the fighters. They've had a lot of time to prepare and be conditioned, so hopefully some of them shine.
Hammill and Jardine are putting on a show! Great fight!
That is a NASTY cut on Jardine!
LOL McSweeny
IT was sloppy but a good one.. Thank god Hamill got that decision i would have been pissed if it went to Jardine, since Matt did way more damage in that fight. Jardine is done, wonder if the UFC finally cuts him..
Good emotional wins for Hamill and Court. Yager is done, when he gets pressured enough he breaks down and stops moving.
Can staph infections be spread through contact in fights? If so, Jardine better fill a tub full of alcohol cuz that thing on Hamill's back didn't look too good.
Yager doesn't seem to have any cardio. As soon as he gets to the 2nd round he's done.
Yager is just mentally weak. I liked the guy at first but it was obvious that when push comes to shove he just wilts. Its not cardio, its that he folds very very fast.
I'm fairly certain they won't let you fight with a staph infection.
Dead on there Manny..
Yager with all that talking in the house once pushed was always looking for a way out.
Bet your ass they can. Dr. Benjamin put his two cents into a column on this situation today.
"When I saw Matt Hamill at The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale weigh-ins with the su ious lesion on his back, I found it quite obvious that it very well may be a Staph skin infection.
I then incorrectly concluded that there would be no possible way that he would be cleared to fight and potentially expose his opponent and everyone that entered the octagon after him to his contagious infection.
Once again, Staph skin infections and the more aggressive MRSA form are contagious and potentially very dangerous. Soft-tissue debridement (surgical removal), organ damage, amputation and death are very possible outcomes.
As I have written many times before, I have the utmost respect for Keith Kizer, the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) executive director. Mr. Kizer did exactly what he was supposed to do when he was alerted to the su ious rash. He ordered his medical expert to assess the situation and to advise him on the most prudent course of action.
In my opinion, the NSAC was victim of a poor medical decision. Furthermore, every athlete (including Hamill) and referee that entered the octagon – with or after Hamill – was unnecessarily exposed to a potentially very serious and deadly infection by the "licensed doctor" who cleared him to compete.
Can I be any clearer?
As a physician tasked with the responsibility of promoting player/fighter safety, deciding to allow a clearly infected athlete to compete is astonishing to me. As a doctor, if there is any significant question in your mind regarding an athlete's health, you must err on the side of caution and disallow the fighter in question. The potential risks do not outweigh the potential benefit.
"Physician, first do no harm."
I am certain that I will be blasted for my assertions, but it will not be the first time. As a surgeon, I am accustomed to having my thought processes, decisions and actions challenged and critiqued. It is part of what I do.
This is not a failing of the NSAC or UFC president and event promoter Dana White. This shouldn't have been a difficult determination as a physician. An unpopular disqualification? No doubt. But clearly warranted, nonetheless. I don't know the iden y of the physician, and it doesn't matter. Poor judgment is poor judgment regardless of stature.
Mr. Kizer and Mr. White: You should challenge my opinion and ask three board-certified orthopedic surgeons and three fellowship-trained infectious-disease specialists to go on the record and answer this simple question: If you examined a wrestler with an untreated active Staph skin infection, would you allow him to compete?"

Can't believe they'd let anyone go in there with a staph infection. Those things are SO infections.
