MMA: The Ultimate Fighter Finale Discussion Thread
 

Sorry, another MMA thread. :D

Gotta root for Amir. The guy had an 0-0 record coming in... he's been amazing. Classy, too.

I also would mind seeing Diego Sanchez lose. He's always annoyed me.

One of the prelims is Matt Brown vs. Matt Arroyo. I hope we get to see it. Sounds like a great matchup.

Re-watching the final episode... I feel bad for Jesse Taylor. At least Dana told him, "Go home and get your ****in' life together, and call me in a few months."

I'm sure we'll see him back. The dude got a hell of a harsh lesson. Hopefully he'll take it to heart.

What happened?

He got drunked up after the show wrapped... kicked out the window of a limo he was riding in... then caused a disturbance in a Station Casino. (Owned by the Fertitas, who own ZUFFA and the UFC)

According to Dana, he was "terrorizing the guests", and Dana had it all on security tapes. When security approached him, he pulled the old, "Do you know who I am??? I'm a UFC fighter!" bit. Dana kicked him out of the finale, and the UFC.

Apparently he and a few other fighters stayed in Vegas for a night of partying after the show wrapped. JT Money clearly can't handle his liquor.

Starting now... Spike TV... channel 38 on Time Warner in KC.

First fight... Matt Riddle vs Dante Rivera

I figure Chipper takes it. Dante's probably the more polished fighter, but Riddle's young and has some crazy power. (as seen when he broke that poor guy's jaw)

I've got Riddle winning the first two rounds

I'm delayed because it's recording. Riddle looks big.

He does. He looks like he added about 30 lb's of muscle.

I'll avoid posting any spoilers, since some of you guys are delayed.

I'm sure I'll catch up in a little bit. I'm skipping the commercials.

**SPOILER**








I'm glad Riddle didn't bust Dante's balls about the retirement thing. He's probably not in the mood to hear it.

Riddle looks good. Glad to see him come away with a win.

Spencer Fisher vs. Jeremy Stephens up next.

Two Iowa guys.

Don't really have a rooting interest in this one, although I'm much more familiar with Fisher.

Rooting for a good fight, I guess.

What weight class is this?

155, lightweight I think.
