"Big Baby" Stole the Season
I originally watched the TUF season 10 for "Kimbo Slice", but Marcus Jones stole the season for me. He has an interesting "Green Mile" appeal about himself, loves the fight game, carries himself humbly, and is a big man with Jiu Jitsu. Honestly if it weren't for "Big Baby" I would have quit on season ten.
Thoughts?

It was the best fight of the season yet because it was finished in style.

I agree Big Baby is definitely the most intresting to me as well. Personally though I was not thrilled about Kimbo, but after watching the season so far he is very humble and very intresting. I personally hope Kimbo hangs around in the UFC and improves his game because he seems excited to learn and a good person. If he continues to learn he will be an descent and exciting fighter to watch.

yeah I can't lie, I didn't like big baby at first. He seemed so bitchmade to be so big, but it admirable sometimes when a person is willing to say fuck it I like flowers and gardening. I also liked when he spoke on his love for football compared to MMA. Then him performing in the cage sealed it. He's a family man whose so big being tough it a mute point so he's just doin his thing and from the looks his BJJ is slick. he defeated a UFC vet
I also gained even more respect for Kimbo when he said it was killing him to have babies at home and he can't protect them. He's really a cool humble dude who just happens to be extremley street.

I feel ya.
This thread was not meant to be a slight towards Kimbo. I hope Kimbo does well because he is a humble guy, family man, and has a warriors heart. However I just think that season 10 inadvertantly introduced a new star to the MMA audience in Marcus "Big Baby" Jones. Big Baby really saved the season for me personally. I don't really care for the exchanges between Rampage and Rashad. Wes Simms is kind of entertaining, but mostly annoying. Kimbo is cool, but he lost and isn't getting much air time at this stage. Marcus however gives me someone to cheer for and keeps me interested in the season.

Big baby is like a Gracie in a jiu jitsu store. He's just happy to be fighting and was really taking in the moment. Im glad he got the win and hope he does well in his next fight.

Big baby really breathed new air into this season. The Rampage and Rashad squabbles were getting stale, and it's up in the air whether Kimbo was fighting again.
It was pretty interesting to learn more about Marcus, and to watch how he could really apply his ground skills in a real fight.

I really thought he broke that dude's arm at first, his arm looked like it bent the wrong way.

Fantastic transitions, massive dude, humble & endearing guy!
2 serious sub attempts (not including the possible choke) with Big Baby securing the arm. Great display. I really hope he goes on to win the show!

I was impressed right away when he went for the Americana, but then after those transitions and the way he torqued the hell out of that armbar, I feel in love. Awesome fighter!
