WRAP UP:
Mac Danzig came in a relatively heavy favorite and lived up to his hype by winning the season. Season 6 wasn’t known to produce any future champs or title contenders but besides Danzig, George Sotiropoulos and Ben Saunders would go on to have mildly successful UFC careers. Jon Koppenhaver might be the most well known fighter to come from the season although not for reason’s you’d hope for. He officially changed his name to “War Machine” and landed himself in Jail for physically abusing then girlfriend Christy Mack. He still remains behind bars while nobody from the season is currently under contract w/ the UFC. On the plus side he did win two bonus’s on the finale w/ Fight of the night & Ko of the Night.
