Fantasy TUF 9: Episode 10


Episode 10 begins with Dana White and the coaches deciding who will fight in the Semi-Finals. Here is what they come up with.
Welterweight Semi-Finals:
-(Team Dan's) DaMarques Johnson vs. (Team Jen's) Nick Osipczak
-(Team Roxanne's) Frank Lester vs. (Team Jon's) James Wilks
Lightweight Semi-Finals:
-(Team Tommy's) Cameron Dollar vs. (Team Alli & Mike's) Andre Winner
-(Team Tommy's) Jason Dent vs. (Team Jon's) Ross Pearson

The first fight is DaMarques Johnson vs. Nick Osipczak. Johnson controls most of the first round on the mat, but with about a minute left in the round both fighters get back to their feet. Osipczak unloads on Johnson landing a flurry of 17 strikes. It's an exciting finish to a round Johnson wins, yet barely survives. In the second round Johnson regains control on the ground. Johnson passes to mount, then moves to the back when Osipczak rolls. The Brit simply hangs on as time expires, and Osipczak is very slow to rise. He gets a second wind in the corner, and lives to answer the bell for round three. Osipczak appears fatigued, but he battles in the pocket. Johnson starts to pick him apart with stiff punches that find their mark. A big flying knee scores for the American, but Osipczak gamely stays in the pocket. Johnson finally pushes him to the floor halfway through the round. Johnson is methodical on the floor, but a few short elbows slam across his opponent's face. Johnson moves to mount, then again to the back, but Osipczak pushes into top position on a scramble. Johnson pulls guard, and with less than a minute remaining he looks content to stay there. Osipczak tries to finish strong, but the result of the slugfest is obvious. DaMarques Johnson is the first fighter to advance to the Finals.
-(Team Dan's) DaMarques Johnson def. (Team Jen's) Nick Osipczak via unanimous decision for 7pts.
-Team Alli & Mike, Team Dan, Team Maria, Team Roy, and Team Steve each receive 1pt for having Dan Henderson as their coach.
