Roy “Big Country” Nelson locked James McSweeney in a crucifix and pounded him until the ref had seen enough to earn his spot in the finale, while Brenden Schaub rocked Marcus Jones with a big right hand, and KO’d him on the ground with several hard right hands.

McSweeney was controlling the fight against Nelson when he started show boating, dropping his hands and throwing one punch at a time. Nelson timed him and landed a flush right hand which staggered McSweeney, Nelson got the takedown and the fight never got back to standing position

Likewise Jones got an early takedown against Schaub, and was controlling the fight, even getting mount position, Schaub escaped, and capitalized, landing a big right that dropped Jones.

Lightweight contenders Gray “The Bully” Maynard and Roger “ El Matador “ Huerta face off on 9/16/09 at the UFC’s Ultimate Fight Night. Huerta has been out of action since his Aug 08 loss to Kenny Florian, he reportedly wanted to explore a career in acting, much to the dismay of the UFC and especially Dana White.

Huerta is one of the divisions more exciting fighters, he has power punches, good wrestling and Jujitsu as well, he is aggressive and has a good chin. He was the aggressor in the Florian fight, which Florian used to his advantage, countering and moving out of the way of the charging Huerta, who looked a touch “one dimensional” and a bit slow. He will need a more diverse attack if he hopes to get a title shot in the near future.

Gray Maynard is a former all American wrestler who has shown nice standup in his short career. He outboxed and outwrestled Frankie Edgar in perhaps his most impressive win, in his last bout he was all over a tough Jim Miller en route to a unanimous decision win

Slugger Chris Lytle takes on Kevin Burns on the televised portion of The Ultimate Fighter US vs UK. Lylte has been ultra aggressive in his past 2 bouts, it may have cost him in his last bout, a split decision loss to Marcus Davis, a bout in which he tired late and got caught with quite a few counterpunches from Davis.

Kevin Burns is also coming off of a loss, a head kick KO from Anthony Johnson at the last TUF finale. He was holding his own against the talented Johnson when he got caught with the kick and was done.

Both fighters have good ground games as well as standup skills, Lytle will look to trade punches early looking for the KO. Burns should pick his spots and take the fight to the ground, looking for the submission or ground and pound.

Wrestler Ryan Bader never had grapple with Jujitsu world champion “vinny” Magalhaes, knocking him to the ground with a right hook behind the ear and finishing him off with punches on the ground. He becomes the Light Heavyweight Ultimate fighter Champion joining Forrest Griffin and Michael Bisping as Ultimate Fighter Champions in that weight division. Efrain Escudero used his wrestling to dominate favorite Phillipe Nover over three rounds to win the Lightweight Ultimate Fighter title. He took Nover down at will, and used nice ground and pound to win a unanimous decision 29-28 on all three score cards. Both fighter were coached by Antonio Minitauro Noguiera, losing coach Frank Mir hopes for different results at UFC 92 when he and Noguiera face each other. In other action, Wison Gouveia scored a TKO over Jason MacDonald in the first round. Anthony Johnson used a high kick to get his revenge over Kevin Burns with a KO in the third round.
