From what we’ve seen on the show it looks like Marcus has the advantage on paper. Then again TUF has really slanted things this season and no one is unaware of it. But I can’t shake the feeling that Mittrione was portrayed as lazy in TUF. After the ice-bag on shoulders episode they never showed him training hard. Since he didn’t gas instantly like many others and TUF has really slanted everything this season, I personally think Matt does train hard. He also brought a lot of focus to his matches.

I do think he is a drama-princess and maybe has Munchausen’s complex. He certainly hammed those ‘injuries’ up without ever being hurt but did focus come fight time.

From the fights we know Marcus will have the advantage on the ground and Matt will have the advantage standing. Most likely Marcus has the advantage overall. But if Matt comes in focused and prepared for the ground he has a solid chance.

Personally, I want Matt to win, because Marcus’ outburst was a spectacle of stupidity and emotional immaturity. It makes me wonder how he deals with people in his every day life. And yes, because of this bias I hope Mittrione takes it.

Simple...

If Mitrione can keep it standing, he wins. He does have some pop in his leather.

If he gets taken down, he loses.

I'm really hoping for Marcus to win this, and then continue to develop his stand-up technique, because his ground game is pretty damn solid for a behemoth.

Marcus Jones takes this fight to the ground within the first ten seconds of the opening round and gets the win not long after.

Damn. Was rooting for Big Baby, but he does need to work on his stand-up. And the dropping of the hands is always frustrating to see. I've got no beef with Mitrione, so solid win for him. Dude has a chin, and can throw some bombs... if he can work on his gas tank, he might well maintain a home in the UFC. He'll likely never be champion, lol, but I can see him sticking around for a while.
