Heavyweight “Big Baby” Marcus Jones (4-1) tapped UFC vet Mike Wessel (8-3) in an armbar in an exhibition matchup on SpikeTV’s The Ultimate Fighter 10 Wednesday night.
Wessel threw tight hooks to close distance and clinch with 6’6″ Jones, then attempted to trip the biggest fighter in the TUF 10 competition. Jones reversed Wessel and threw him to the mat and passed to half mount.
Jones worked and Americana; but, Wessel rolled to his stomach in defense. Jones took Wessel’s back and worked a rear naked choke. But, Wessel again rolled into top position, sweeping Jones.
But, Jones quickly and powerfully applied an armbar causing Wessel to tap out.
Jones’s victory is Team Rampage’s, coached by now-retired sixth-ranked “Rampage” Quinton Jackson (28-7), first and only win in eight preliminary fights over Team Rashad, coached by Fighters.com’s fourth-ranked light heavyweight “Sugar” Rashad Evans (13-1-1).

Hey man, Big Baby told the House that he was leaving with the head or arm of whoever wrote the “Sucks Balls” on the cartoon picture of him. Damn near snapped Mike`s arm off and put it in his carry on to feed to his kids when he gets home. That`s one big BooYah!
