Afterwards Vinny is talking to Frank Mir on how Antonio Nogueira's Jiu-Jistu is not of a high level. Antonio Nogueira is told by his team what Vinny said to Mir, this starts an argument. Vinny defeats Jules by armbar in the first round. Vinny then would have to go up against early favorite and leading prankster Krzysztof Soszynski. Vinny beats Soszynski by armbar in the first round. This meant that Vinny would fight Ryan Bader at the finale. Bader defeated Vinny by technical knock out in round one.
