Jackson nicknamed him "Titties" during season ten of "The Ultimate Fighter." The kid was the subject of catcalls and breast jokes throughout but he probably won over some fans with the crowd in attendance. Schoonover showed toughness throughout but couldn't withstand the Brit's onslaught in the third round. Schoonover got caught with a right head kick followed by a right head kick. Once wobbled, Schoonover took a few more rights and a right uppercut floored him. McSweeney gets his first offcial UFC win at 3:20 of the third.
McSweeney set the tone early by pushing the pace. A kickboxer by trade, he did a nice job on his feet but was even more impressive with his offense and his defensive scrambling on the ground. His only mistake in the first was going 200 MPH. He pushed the pace so much that it didn't leave himself much in the gas tank for the second and third rounds. That said, it was just enough to get by Schoonover, who also looked sapped in the middle of the third. Carrying 261 pounds is simply too much for Titties.
If the crowd knew Schoonover's story they could've showm a little more respect for a guy who just got his papers to head back to the middle east as a member of the Army. Instead we heard phrases like "Go to Victoria's Secret" and requests for McSweeney to "motorboat" him.
