Ultimate Finale Live

Tonight was the finale for season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter, and it was a great card.  Dennis Siver edged out Spencer "The King" Fisher in a decision.  The fight was a good stand up war from start to finish.  Chris Leben TKO'd Aaron Simpson in the second.  Both fighters seemed gassed by the end, but Leben had just enough power left to stop Simpson.  Great fight, thought it would be my fight of the night for a while there.  That is until the Matt Hamill beat Keith Jardine in a bloody three round decision.  Both fighters showed good stand up, something Hamill had lacked in earlier fights.  Keith Jardine has a very unorthodox style that gave Hamill trouble more than once, but in the end he was able to score a couple key take downs and outpoint him on the feet.  Hamill opened up cuts on Jardine's face that seemed to turn the momentum of the fight.  Definitely my pick for fight of the night.  The main event was alright, with Court McGee dominating Kris McCray en route to a second round submission by rear naked choke.  There was very little stand up in this fight, as McGee found out quickly he could take McCray down at will.  Once he did he landed some good ground strikes, took the back, and choked him out.  Congratulations to Court McGee on winning the fight, and getting the six figure contract.  If you don't know his story, it's been a tough road to get where he is tonight.  A former drug addict who overdosed and died for a short time, he definitely turned his life around.  He deserves all the good that will come from this win, and I wish him the best of luck.
