For Mac Danzig, 7 years of training and hard work in the sport of MMA came to fruition by winning The Ultimate Fighter last night in The Ultimate Finale. The veteran’s experience, technique and strategy worked masterfully against Tommy Speer. While many expected Speer to try and take Danzig down, the Californian reversed things by taking down Speer. From there Danzig’s superior BJJ skills were very evident against the relative newcomer (Just over 2 years in competition) in Speer. Danzig was able to work to mount and from there land strong strikes and eventually take Speer’s back and win via rear naked choke.

Danzig will step down and began to compete in his natural weight class of 155. Speer, with a load of potential to go far in the sport, will regroup and add many elements to his game, likely with Matt Hughes camp,  and return to 170.
