UFC light-heavyweight fighter Matt Hamill earned a majority decision over opponent “The Dean of Mean” Keith Jardine in last nights “TUF 11″ Finale co-main event bout. In the post fight interview, Hamill revealed that the red dot on his lower back was a staph infection, that he’d broken his left hand in the first round, and that he jokingly thought he’d be “blind and deaf” after getting poked in the eye by Jardine.

“It just happened so fast and I just go all out with my hands. I don’t know what happened. I just fought my heart out. It happened in the first round. I knew something was wrong with my hand. I lost my power and I was trying to go for a takedown. When I grabbed his leg, I had no power to grip. It looked like The Hulk.

And then he poked me in the eye. I thought I was going to be blind and deaf. Enough handicaps. But I could fight. I could go all night on the feet. Even though I’m not good at striking. But I’m glad I came and fought. Keith Jardine is a great fighter.

I just wanna be in the top ten fighters in the world. I just wanna let people know that I am a great fighter. I want people to know that I belong in the UFC and I’m gonna do better next time. If you are not happy with the way I’m fighting, I’m sorry. I’ll come back again and do a lot better. I promise you that.”

A total of $100,000 was handed out to four fighters from Saturday’s “The Ultimate Fighter 11″ Finale event. Earning $25K each were Matt Hamill, Keith Jardine, Chris Leben, and Court McGee for their work in the octagon.

The event, which took place at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, reportedly drew a total of 1,708 fans for a live gate total of $430,250.

All of the winners took part on the Spike TV televised portion of the event, with Matt Hamill and Keith Jardine earning the “Fight of the Night” award. While “Knockout of the Night” went to Chris Leben and the “Submission of the Night” went to “TUF 11″ tournament winner Court McGee.

Hamill and Jardine fought a three round battle that left both men bloody, but the saw the “Dean of Mean” take the most punishment due to several cuts. One in the middle of his forehead left the octagon mat as well as both fighters covered in blood. For that, both men received the “Fight of the Night” award.

Leben earned his second career UFC “Knockout of the Night” award after defeating Aaron Simpson late in the second round by TKO (punches). “The Crippler” looked very good against Simpson and showed the strength of his chin after taking several strong punches. After stopping a takedown, Leben opened up with some punches, catching Simpson and sending him stumbling across the octagon trying to escape. The referee was then forced to step in and stop the fight.

In the main event, Court McGee caught opposing Team Ortiz/Franklin fighter Kris McCray in the second round with a rear-naked-choke, after controlling the fight on the ground. For submitting McCray, as well as earning the only submission victory of the whole card, McGee was given the “Submission of the Night” award.

An emotional Court McGee dedicated his victory over fellow “The Ultimate Fighter” 11 finalist Kris McCray “to anyone who’s struggling,” in reference to his past issues with drug abuse, and to his coach Chuck Liddell, as part of his victory speech in the main event of Saturday’s “TUF 11″ Finale.

The Utah based fighter used takedowns to earn the nod in the first round, using his ground-and-pound and striking effectively. The second was similar, except McGee utilized his take downs to attempt a couple of submissions.

After taking McCray down with a double leg takedown near the cage, McGee was able to take his opponents back to sink in a rear-naked-choke, forcing the Team Oritz/Franklin fighter to tap at 3:41.

McGee had quite the journey to get to this point.

He went to a third round in the opening elimination bout against Seth Baczynski and was picked twelfth overall by Chuck Liddell. He lost to Nick Ring in the sixth prelim fight of the “TUF 11″ series in a close fight that had UFC president Dana White calling for a third round.

McGee stepped in for Rich Attonito in the quarter-finals after Attonito broke his hand. The Utah fighter defeated James Hammortree via submission in the second to move on to face fellow teammate Brad Tavares. Both men went to a third round in their semi-final bout which McGee ended with a rear-naked-choke submission.

McGee was presented with the “TUF” trophy and the six-figure contract by Dana White and was also awarded with the “Submission of the Night” bonus.
