LAS VEGAS — Court McGee pocketed a little extra cash to go along with his “Ultimate Fighter” trophy when he submitted Kris McCray at the Pearl at the Palms on Saturday night. His rear naked choke finish was the only submission on the fight card, and it more or less automatically netted him the $25,000 bonus for Submission of the Night.

Knockout of the Night went to heavy-handed southpaw Chris Leben, who sent Aaron Simpson staggering across the cage in the second round after several damaging punches, and the three-round battle between Keith Jardine and Matt Hamill earned Fight of the Night.

Other notes to come out of Saturday night’s post-fight press conference:

Court McGee’s Fairytale Ending Is Just a New Beginning

Court McGeeLAS VEGAS — If there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching all those Wes Anderson movies, it’s that people love a good redemption plot. Maybe that explains why Court McGee‘s story is so endlessly compelling for the fans and the media.

For those who somehow haven’t heard it yet, the condensed version goes something like this: McGee was addicted to drugs and alcohol, overdosed on heroin and was declared legally dead, got clean and sober and became an upstanding family man, then won season 11 of “The Ultimate Fighter” with a submission victory over Kris McCray at Saturday night’s finale.

Pardon me for dwelling on it, but that’s some Greek myth, journey-through-the-underworld type stuff right there.

(Glory days / Well they’ll pass you by / Glory days / In the wink of a young girl’s eye / Glory days …)

Considering what we know now, the scene in this picture feels almost quaint. Remember back when we all thought Tito and Chuck were going to settle their differences in the cage for an unbelievable third time? Remember when Nick Ring and Kyle Noke were the favorites to win “TUF 11”? Remember the days before Rich Franklin was morally conflicted over ending Chuck’s career while he had a broken frickin’ arm? God, what dupes we were back then.

Tonight, in one of the most anticipated finale events in the history of television, we find out how it all really ends. We find out if the UFC has the balls to name either Court McGee or Kris McCray the winner of “The Ultimate Fighter,” or if Dana White will just call a “do-over” on this whole crappy season.  We find out who wins the “co-main event” – Seriously, guys. What did I just say about that? – and who (probably) gets fired. We might even find out if Jamie Yager has more to offer than cool hair and neat jump-kicks.

The action roars out of the gate at 9 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. PST. We’ll be live shortly thereafter. Say it with me: Be sure to hit refresh early and often to keep up with the latest updates.
