TUF 10: Heavyweights Episode Nine Re-Cap

TUF 10: Heavyweights Episode Nine

Last week we saw Team Rampage get their first win after 7 straight losses as Marcus Jones won in what was the most impressive first round victory to date. Roy Nelson takes on Justin Wren in the first Quarterfinal fight on this episode.

Matt Mitrione is feeling ill from the effects of his last fight and they are teasing him not being able to continue and Kimbo replacing him.

Rampage and his trainers fill Rashad’s car with live chickens. The chickens poop in the car and then Rashad and his guys chase the chickens around the parking lot. Rashad and his guys took it in good stride so Rampage left feeling the joke had backfired.

Heavyweight Quarterfinal Fight- Roy Nelson (13-4) vs. Justin Wren (8-1)

R1- Wren pushes the action early and hit Nelson with some decent shots before Nelson clinched him. The ref separated them and Wren again pushed the action. Nelson started finding a home for his jab towards the end of the round. Wren 10 Nelson 9.

R2- Wren looks like he’s tired and Nelson looks like the crisper fighter in this round. Nelson took this round to even it up 19-19.

20-18, 19-19, 20-18 in favor of Roy Nelson. Wow! How could anybody have scored that first round for Roy Nelson? I think Roy was in a great position to take this fight in the third round but no way he won that first round.

Winner: Roy Nelson by Decision (Majority)
