The weekend’s Three Stars: Hominick, Grispi and McGee

With a double dose of MMA in the books, Cagewriter takes a look at the three fighters who distinguished themselves during “The Ultimate Fighter” finale Saturday and WEC 49 on Sunday.

No. 1 star — Mark Hominick: A Canadian who trains in Montreal with Georges St. Pierre and Kenny Florian, Hominick was determined to put on a show for the Edmonton crowd at WEC 49. Along with fellow Canadian Yves Jabouin, Hominick did that with a back-and-forth battle in which neither fighter slowed until Homick TKOed Jabouin in the second round. They earned the $10,000 Fight of the Night bonus for their efforts.

No. 2 star — Josh Grispi: His nickname is the Fluke, but at WEC 49, Grispi showed that he’s anything but. After not fighting for more than a year, he quickly submitted L.C. Davis with a guillotine, putting a very tough Davis to sleep in the first round of their bout. Grispi also walked away richer from his bout, earning the $10,000 Submission of the Night.

No. 3 star — Court McGee: On the lackluster TUF finale card, McGee stood out in winning season 11 of the reality TV show and earning a UFC contract. He used superior wrestling and clinch skills to take out Kris McCray. McGee finished with a rear naked choke that earned him $25,000 for the Submission of the Night.

Honorable mention: Matt Hamill, who fought through a broken hand to beat Keith Jardine at the TUF finale and Eddie Wineland, who knocked out Will Campuzano at WEC 49 with a body shot. Both fighters earned bonuses; Hamill $25,000 for Fight of the Night and Wineland $10,000 for Knockout of the Night.

Dishonorable mention: Jamie Yager, who quit between rounds during the filming of TUF and then again quit when in his bout with Richie Attonito, and Kamal Shalorus, for continually battering Jamie Varner’s crotch with missed inside kicks.
