TUF 10: Heavyweights Episode Eight

Team Rashad is up 7-0 on Team Rampage and looks to make a clean sweep of the first round with only Marcus Jones standing in their way.

Mike Wessel has fought for UFC before and fought Antoni Hardonk. Schoonover and Rampage get into it again this week. We also learn that Marcus Jones doesn’t like insects and people making fun of him.

Marcus Jones (4-2) vs. Mike Wessel (8-2)

Jones has a huge 6” height and 7.5” reach advantage.

R1- Wessel got some shots in early but Jones got a take down in the first thirty seconds of the fight. Wessel was able to spin and take Jones’s guard but Jones quickly tapped Wessel with an arm bar. Really impressive win by Marcus Jones and Team Rampage is on the board! This was probably the most impressive win so far of the competition.
