While the 10th season of The Ultimate Fighter will forever be known as "The Kimbo Season," former IFL Champion Roy Nelson and young Brendan Schaub will look to make an impression this Saturday when the two fight in the TUF heavyweight finals.

As seen Thursday night during a double-shot of TUF , Nelson crucifixed James McSweeney and bloodied his head in a first-round TKO win, while Schaub took it to Marcus Jones, grounding and knocking him out in a first-round win.

The 33-year-old Nelson (13-4) has been a journeyman since the IFL shut down, an organization where he fought seven times. UFC President Dana White has been vocal on TUF about not being impressed by Nelson until his win over McSweeney, so it will be an interesting situation to see unfold if Nelson can pull off the win Saturday.

Nelson's not the most visually appealing guy, but the thought of having a fighter under White's employ that he publicly doesn't care for? Awesome.

Schaub (4-0) has been competing since June 2008 after retiring from the Arena Football League. In all four wins for regional promotions, he's won via first-round T/KO. He'll be an underdog, but has shown the type of power that can even odds quickly. If he does pull off the win, the UFC will need to put him against similarly experienced fighters for a while until they understand exactly what they have.

Also booked for this Saturday:

> Jon Jones (9-0) vs. Matt Hamill (6-2): One of the most exciting prospects in the 205 division against one of its best stories. I love it! Hamill is coming off a brutal first-round KO of Mark Munoz at UFC 96 in March, while the undefeated Jones last submitted Jake O'Brien at UFC 100. I can't wait to see this.

> Kimbo Slice vs. Houston Alexander: It was surprising to see Kimbo not take up Dana White's opportunity to fight during the Thursday shows, as it almost felt like White was vindicated for all of the trash he used to talk about him.

Regardless, he's giving Slice (3-1) a huge opportunity this Saturday—his first real fight since the Seth Petruzelli loss in October 2008. Alexander (9-4) will be looking to avoid his fourth straight loss in the UFC. Another fun fight to look forward to.

> Marcus Jones vs. Matt Mitrione: While billed as settling a score from the show, Jones was out of line in harassing Mitrione after he unintentionally caused possible career-ending damage to Scott Junk's eye.

Mitrione showed some power in his time on TUF , while Jones—originally thought to be an unstoppable beast—looked bad in his defeat to Schaub. Is this Jones' final fight?

> Frankie Edgar vs. Matt Veach
> Brian Stann vs. Rodney Wallace
> John Howard vs. Dennis Hallman
> Mark Bocek vs. Joe Brammer
> Justin Wren vs. Jon Madsen (TUF )
> Darrill Schoonover vs. James McSweeney (TUF )

Other than Edgar vs. Veach, I'm not sure how many of the undercard bouts are making it to live air. Saturday night should be a lot of fun with some interesting bouts featuring interesting personalities that have a lot on the line. I can't wait!
