Results from the Ultimate Fighter Finale

December 9, 2007

The following are results from the Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale:

Roger Huerta def. Clay Guida via submission (RNC), R3
Mac Danzig def. Tommy Speer via submission (RNC), R1
Jon Koppenhaver def. Jared Rollins via TKO, R3
George Sotiropoulous def. Billy Miles via submission (RNC), R1
Ben Saunders def. Dan Barrera via unanimous decision
Troy Mandaloniz def. Richie Hightower via TKO, R1
Roman Mitichyan def. Dorian Price via submission (ankle lock), R1
Jonathan Goulet def. Paul Georgieff via submission (RNC), R1

That puts me at 5/9 for this event. In my defense the only connection I had with this show was the event recaps on various sites. I might try and do something in the future with this tipping business.

Anyway, this show definantly seemed top quality from all reports. Due to me not being aware if Spike can even be broadcast in Australia I have not been able to see any of these fights. I am however very eager to do so.

P.S. I also stand by my decision not to choose Jonathan Goulet

Quick Predictions for TUF 6 Finale

December 7, 2007

I was originally going to attempt a full preview for the The Ultimate Fighter 6 finale but I’m tired right now and I won’t be on the computer tomorrow. So here are my quick tips for the event.

  1. Roger Huerta to win by TKO in the 3rd round over Clay Guida
  2. Mac Danzig to win by submission in the 2nd round over Tommy Speer
  3. George Sotiropoulous to win by submission in the 1st round over Billy Miles
  4. Jared Rollins to win by submission in the 3rd round over Jon Koppenhaver
  5. Dan Barrera to win by unanimous decision over Ben Saunders
  6. Richie Hightower to win by unanimous decision over Troy Mandaloniz
  7. Roman Mitichyan to win by submission in the 1st round over Dorian Price
  8. Matt Arroyo to win by submission in the 2nd round over John Kolosci
  9. Paul Georgieff to win by whatever the hell he wants whenever he wants over Jonathan Goulet

Let us see how wrong I turn out to be.

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.

The TUF 6 Finale looks like this:

MAIN CARD:
Roger Huerta vs. Clay Guida
Mac Danzig vs. Tommy Speer (TUF 6 Final Bout)
Jared Rollins vs. Jon Koppenhaver
George Sotiropoulous vs. Billy Miles

UNDERCARD:
Ben Saunders vs. Dan Barrera
Matt Arroyo vs. Jon Kolosci
Troy Mandaloniz vs. Richie Hightower
Roman Mitichyan vs. Dorian Price
Paul Georgieff vs. Jonathan Goulet

Overview: Upcoming Events

December 1, 2007

Seeing as right now I’d feel a bit strange just posting some random news about some sort of undercard fight I think I’ll just post an overview of the upcoming events so that I have a platform to launch from.

Firstly, The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale is set for December 8th in Las Vegas. The show may have lost even more lustre of late with Matt Serra no longer fighting Matt Hughes any time soon but the night is still filled with some pretty decent fights so far.

  • Jon Koppenhaver vs. Jared Rollins
  • Dan Barrera vs. Ben Saunders
  • Richie Hightower vs. Troy Mandaloniz

WEC 31 which is coming up on Dec. 12 has an absolutely stacked line up, which features 3 title fights:

  • Urijah Faber (c) vs. Jeff Curran (for featherweight title)
