TUF 10 Finale Predictions

Kimbo Slice vs Houston Alexander I still don't know what to make of Kimbo. There are conflicting reports about his dedication to training. Some times we hear he's a sponge. Other times he's disinterested in the entire process. This week he also explained that he's been on his own with cutting weight for the bout with Alexander. This seems very strange since he's supposed to be working with one of the top MMA gyms and it's his first cut. It doesn't make sense. ATT's trainers would not leave him or any fighter alone during weight cutting. My uninformed guess is that the early reports from his EliteXC days about being a dedicated worker in practice were fabricated. He ended up burning the bridge with his first trainer, Bas Rutten, and now seems on his way to doing the same with American Top Team. In my opinion. Kimbo's using the weight cut as an excuse in case he loses. He can point to it and say, "I lost because no one helped me with my first cut." I might have bought it, but then he weighed in three pounds under the weight limit, which is odd for a fighter supposedly having extreme difficulty with a cut. Even though Alexander's line seems high at -260, I'm going with him. Alexander Wins by 1st Round TKO. Matt Hamill vs Jon Jones Joe Silva did a good job with this match-up. I have questions about both fighters and with one bout, I'll have answers. Hamill made the leap at some point after his loss to Rich Franklin. He no longer seems unsure of himself in the cage. That said, Reese Andy and Mark Munoz aren't exactly top caliber competition. Against Jones he'll need to be at his best. Jones has been proclaimed a future Hall of Famer by most MMA fans. I'm not so sure yet. He's entertaining for sure, but like Hamill, his recent competition was thin. His exciting style leaves him open at times. To make the jump to the next level, he needs to focus his fight game. The top guys at 205 lbs only need one opening to end a fight. This includes Hamill. I'm gonna call the upset here and pick Hamill. It seems like another inflated line due to the buzz around Jones. Hamill has been in there with better fighters and more than held his own. I think his heavy hands hurt Jones and he finishes the fight. Hamill Wins by 2nd Round TKO.
