...they will have a great main event (hopefully).
Yesterday news broke that Matt Hamill (6-2) and Jon Jones (8-0) will fight on The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale on December 5th. It is not yet known whether Jones and Hamill will headline the televised card but even if these two fighters aren't the main event it still means there will be another great fight that we will get to watch for free.
If Jones and Hamill are the main event then it is still great news as this fight has the potential to be fantastic (maybe even rival Sanchez vs. Guida or Griffin vs. Bonnar as a top TUF finale fight). While both fighters have legit wrestling skills I wouldn't expect to this to turn into a grappling match.Both fighters are prone to stand and trade and in Hamill's case this habit is often to his detriment.
Matt Hamill will probably do what he always does, try to out strike his opponent and inevitably attempt to walk Jones down with his hands by his waist. A bad recipe for any fight but when the opponent is Jon Jones it might as well be putting a baseball on tee and asking Ryan Howard to hit a home run.
Unless Hamill gets wise and actually tries to wrestle for once.
Regardless of what's in store the hype machine is already churning.

i cant wait for it. they are two of my favorite guys to watch. i really wouldn’t have taken this fight if i was either guy.if i was hamils people id be asking to set up a vera fight again.
about the other fights on the card, looks like the dennis hallman vs john howard fight is on for this card and not 106 and Palhares vs. Sakara (probably a stinker of a fight and on the undercard) is on for this card as well says mmajunkie.
its shaping up nicely so far. add the the final of the show tournament and i’m sure kimbo will make the broadcast one way or the other baring any injury. its a solid show.
