Expecting Mac Danzig to be avoiding takedowns and using strikes, Tommy Speer was surprised Saturday night when Danzig shot in on him scored the takedown that would be the beginning of the end in the finals of The Ultimate Fighter 6. “I felt like I was prepared. I shot in for a takedown, but Mac blocked it, then got a single-leg (takedown) of his own”, Speer told the Post Bulletin. “I was surprised he took me down. I thought he’d want to stand.”

Speer however is maintaining a positive attitude and his belief in himself is deepened from the feedback of his UFC peers. “I’ve heard nothing but positive things from fans, UFC staff and other fighters. Hopefully that means they were impressed enough, and I’ll be back.”
