    who here has been following the ultimate fighter still?

    i think phillipe nover seems to have more skills and be a step above the rest.

    there is no way effron beats him in the finales.

    the light heavy weights are both terrible. they neither of them have good stand up and they only have good ground game. the last fights where horrible.

    i thought krystof was going to win in the light-heavies and was surprised he got sub'd.

    but out of the two i think Vinny is going to pull the win out over bader.

    i predict phillipe over efron and vinny over bader.

    what are you predictions?

    Agree with you, Nover seems to be in a league of his own. He is explosive, well rounded and it looks like he will have a bright future. He also comes across as a classy guy unlike most of the other on the show. At least something good has come out of this season after all the shite shown. Not to sure how the other final will go. The full card for the finals has also been announced:

    MAIN CARD

    Efrain Escudero vs. Phillipe Nover ("TUF" lightweight finals)
    Ryan Bader vs. Vinicius Magalhaes ("TUF" light heavyweights finals)
    Wilson Gouveia vs. Jason MacDonald
    Kevin Burns vs. Anthony Johnson
    Junie Browning vs. Dave Kaplan

    PRELIMINARY CARD

    Shane Primm vs. Krzysztof Soszynski
    Jules Bruchez vs. Eliot Marshall
    Kyle Kingsbury vs. Tom Lawlor
    Shane Nelson vs. George Roop
    John Polakowski vs. Rolando Delgado

    Despite acting like a nutcase throughout the whole season, Junie gets a spot on the main card.

    i personally think that Junie is only on the main card because Kaplan will knock his ass out.

    id prefer to see Shane vs. Krzysztof on the Main card as they are the only other semi exciting fighters on the show besides Roop. but Roop is gonna kill Nelson so there is no point.


    i dont see any way Efraine comes out of the octagon alive against Phillipe :rofl

    You know I heard about Nover through some Filipino MMA discussion. People was hyping this guy as the potential Pacquiao of MMA... Its not hard to think that all these pinoys are all like Brandon Vera, but Nover seems to be the real deal..Hes trained under Renzo as well, always a plus.

    I wish Vinny had more heart. He could've been something incredible.

    Haven't seen much of the season, just some of the fights.

    I think the winner of Vinny vs Bader will go on to have a nice career, both are promising and have a background that they can always rely on in BJJ and wrestling.

    Curious what happened with Vinny and Team Quest, he is no longer an instructor there and left because he said he felt disrespected.

    I'll pick Nelson. Roop's chin is always a mile in the air when he punches.

    I'll pick Bader by lay n' pray and Nover by KO.

    Let's go Macdonald.

    I don't care what Dana White says, Junie Browning has to be one of his ******ed cousins... it's the only explanation for that mong still having anything to do with the UFC.

    When did I miss the Junie Browning semifinal? I thought it was only Bader and Nover fighting last night?

    PS: How in the **** did Dana not kick that douche nozzle off the show after he had about 14 chances?

    the problem is that nelson doesnt throw punches like he should. that first fight with efrain was horrible. i dont think he will be active enough to handle roop. but then again you never know. could have just been an off night for a fight for him.

    agreed.

    he also needs to work on his stand up. his BJJ is amazing but his stand up seems to be ****.
