TUF 6 Finale Finalised

December 6, 2007

The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale’s card has now been finalised reports MMAjunkie.com. The news comes after today’s final episode in which both Mac Danzig and Tommy Speer won their semi final match-ups and will now duke it out for the multi-fight contract with the UFC and the tag of the “Ultimate Fighter”.

The fight that will decide this season of the Ultimate Fighter is a bit surprising. Not Mac Danzig’s part because that was to be expected but the man Danzig was expected to face, Australian George Sotiropoulous was upset by the Team Hughes fighter, Tommy Speer.

A remarkable comeback by Team Hughes who had only 2 fighters out of the 8 in the quarterfinals, now make up the final. Not without a bit of controversy though, as during the fight with Sotiropoulous, Speer apparently landed an eye gouge that caused significant problems to the Australian. Speer capitalised on the distorted vision to land a thundering punch that helped to knock his opponent out of and move himself one step further in the competition.
