Jackson says it's become a bit of an epidemic recently with some of the Jackson's Submission Fighting campers and he's looking to insure it doesn't happen tomorrow with any of the five guys that he's working with on tomorrow night's "Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale."Jackson told Cagewriter that's what ultimately...

Having a huge height advantage isn't always the path to victory. The 5-foot-8 Garcia struggled all night finding range and more importantly Gamburyan's head. He never landed any shots of significance.
