TUF 10 Finale Punch Drunk Predictions


We've hit you with all the previews and breakdowns and analysis imaginable, meaning the only thing left on the schedule is taking the plunge and making some picks.

One pick I'm certain of is that this will not be the last we see of Kimbo Slice inside the Octagon, regardless of the outcome of his meeting with Houston Alexander.

As much as it pains me, the guy is a monster draw and while a win will certainly propel him onto a pay-per-view card early in the new year, a loss isn't going to stop the UFC from continuing to capitalize on Kimbo's popularity.

While I agree with Matt Lindland's hope that the loser of this fight plummets into obscurity, never to be over-hyped again, the truth is that if that person is Kimbo, "The Law" won't get his wish.

Punch Drunk Predictions
Record: 116-84-1

  1. Five winners (Bocek, Howard, McSweeney, Mitrione and Edgar) and five losers (the other five guys) for a 50-50 split...

    Some tough decisions and plenty to discuss in 10 Things...
