As always, we're here to take you through the action of a major MMA show. Starting with the Spike TV broadcast I will be here bringing you live results and thoughts on UFC: Ultimate Fighter Finale.
Please participate in the comment thread and share your thoughts on the action as it unfolds.
We do ask that you adhere to our one standard rule. No discussion in the comments of any undercard fights until after they are shown or the broadcast ends. We do not want to spoil any fights that may make the air for anyone.
So join us, watch the fights, and share your thoughts. And don't be afraid to get some discussion going before the show kicks off (just not spoilers).
Finally I ask that you all send out positive energy toward Vegas so that we might see Dave Kaplan pull a Ralphie Parker to Junie Browning's Scut Farkus.
9:00pm Eastern and it is showtime. First fight up shortly... Goldie launches the show plugging that you can still donate to the fight for the troops fund and I don't fault them for still pushing it.
A brief clip of Junie is shown before the commercial as he says "I believe I am the main event, the other fighters just don't know it yet." The kid keeps his schtick up well but seriously I don't dig HOW hard they're pushing him down our throats at this point. Anyway, his fight is up first...so at least it should be gotten out of the way unless he cries during the fight or something.
Junie Browning vs. Dave Kaplan - Gets us going. Junie explains that people will stop "judging him on his character and on the way he behaves" which of course is what every man should be raised to believe "It is not the content of your character but rather how well you fight." Junie comes out to old Eminem...which makes his entrance music about as fresh as his act. Round 1 - Junie with a low blow to start things off. He was trying to stay outside while Kaplan stalked but they're getting back into it. Low kick from Kaplan lands. Nice combinations now from Junie as he is starting to pick Kaplan apart from outside. Kaplan has blood around his eye now. Flying knee lands as do some more shots. Junie falls looking for a kick and Kaplan looks for a leg lock but Junie gets out. Junie takes Dave's back now but Dave gets back to his feet. Four punch combo lands for Junie. Goldie and Rogan are in LOVE with Junie here. Kaplan with a solid right hand and he closes distance and gets a takedown. Leg lock attempt again fails and he gives up position. They stand and Junie with a takedown. Junie takes Dave's back again, the choke is in but Kaplan pulls it out and turns back to top position. They're back to standing and exchanging shots. Round 1 ends and both myself and Mike Fagan have the first round 10-9 Browning on our respective cards. Round 2 -Right hand from Kaplan. Junie with the shot and takedown. Junie is trying to pass out of half guard now but no luck so far. As I type that Junie passes to side control. Steps over for an armbar and it is locked up. Kaplan has to tap out and it's all over. Junie Browning wins by submission (armbar) round 2. Hope you guys are ready for three years of hearing about how great he is and how much he has turned his life around as Junie runs through low level guys like Kaplan. We get even more "you can't be upset with him tonight" talk as he "walks the right line" because he apologizes to Frank Mir. So now we have "proof" that he has turned it all around.
They're talking to Kevin James as he plugs his newest crappy movie...in this one he's a MALL COP! I can't wait. I'm so glad that we're not watching fights right now. Damn am I in a salty mood tonight.
Eliot Marshall vs. Jules Bruchez - Undercard action Round 1 - Big shots from Eliot to get things going, then a big takedown, Jules gives up his back and Eliot starts sinking in the choke. Finally the elbow goes under the chin and Jules has to tap out. Eliot Marshall wins by submission (Rear Naked Choke) round 1.
Wilson Gouveia at vs. Jason MacDonald - Time for a fight! Round 1 - Right hand from Gouveia but MacDonald comes in and goes for a single leg and after about thirty seconds is able to finish but Gouveia stands up quickly. They break and are back in the center and MacDonald eats a right hand and a hard leg kick. Gouvia lands a few shots and drops MacDonald. Gouveia follows him down and is landing a barrage of elbows. MacDonald went down from a left jab it looks like. The elbows force the stoppage. Wilson Gouveia wins by TKO (strikes) round 1. MacDonald got busted up and cut badly but you have to wonder how much cred Gouveia gets when he came in so heavy.
Kevin Burns vs. Anthony Johnson - Protect your eyes AJ... Round 1 -Low kick from Johnson. Burns with a nice body kick. Left hand from Burns now. Johnson with a jab now. Big takedown from Johnson as he ducks under one of Burns' punches. Big shot from Johnson lands and he passes to side control off of it. "Upside down triangle" from Burns now but Johnson pulls out. Burns is staying active on the bottom but Johnson postures up and lands a few punches. Mario stands the fighters back up. Right hand by Burns and a right hand returns from Johnson as he catches a Burns kick. Burns is now on his back eating some kicks to the leg. Big body kick from Johnson and a solid flurry to end the round. 10-9 Johnson on Brent's card and 10-9 Johnson on the card of Mike Fagan. Round 2 - Great body kick from Johnson early and that is a money strike for him tonight. Johnson looks for the single leg and gets it. Burns is looking for the kimura from the half guard now but Johnson is fine. Elbows from Johnson land solidly. Burns keeps working a high guard but Johnson has avoided too much danger so far. Johnson now is working body shots to open the head and it's working well. Some more very big elbows land to the chin of Burns. This round is much more one sided than the first so far. Burns tries for an armbar and eats two big hammerfists in return. Both Brent Brookhouse and Mike Fagan score the round 10-9 Johnson putting the fight on both cards at 20-18 Johnson. Round 3 - Jab by Johnson was stuff. Left hand by Johnson lands solid and looked like it hurt Burns and OH MY GOD! WHAT A HIGH KICK! BURNS IS OUT! Anthony Johnson wins by KO (head kick) round 3. Johnson with a beautiful KO!
Ryan Bader vs. Vinicius Magalhaes - Round 1 -Low kick from Bader and Vinny is trying to bait him into getting close. Right hands land for both guys. Bader is working the leg kicks here. Right hand lands solid for Bader now. Vinny looks like his mouth is already open. Bader slips on a kick but gets up before Vinny can get on him. Right hand lands for Bader and Vinny is down. He covers up and takes a few more shots before the fight is stopped! Ryan Bader wins by TKO (punches) round 1. The punch that started it wasn't too solid as it glanced behind Vinny's ear, but the hammerfists once he was on the ground were the shots that sealed the deal.
Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Shane Primm - Round 1 - Left hand lands for Krzysztof and Primm gets a takedown. Shane isn't trying to do anything at all here and he lets Soszynski up. KS gets distance now and takes advantage of Primm's fairly crappy stand-up. Now they're back on the ground with KS on top but he bacs off so they go back to standing. Primm fights through more uppercuts but he looks gassed and also looks just awful when they're standing. Failed shot attempt from Primm and now KS is in side control. KS looks for an armlock but Primm defends well enough that Krzysztof has to give it up. 10-9 Krzysztof on the BE scorecard. Round 2 -High kick from Primm is blocked and Krzysztof lands some more punches. They're tied up and neither guy is doing much. But now as they separate KS lands a right hand. Primm is really trying his ass off here but he is getting slowly picked apart. They're on the ground. Krzysztof grabs a kimura and this time is able to finish it off. Primm taps out and looks hurt. Krzysztof Soszynski wins by submission (kimura) round 2.
Phillipe Nover vs. Efrain Escudero - This should be fun...don't sleep on Efrain here. Round 1 - Nover is throwing kicks early and Escudero answers with one of his own. Right hand by Phillipe but Efrain gets a takedown. Efrain puts him in the cage and as they stand up Efrain hurts him with a couple punches, Phillipe goes for the takedown and Efrain ends up on his back. Turns into full mount, Phillipe tries to get guard and eats some big shots. Efrain fell directly into a triangle attempt but they're back to standing now. Takedown for Efrain again. Back to standing again they go. Efrain with the takedown and then a big shot follows. He is DOMINATING the round. Back to standing they go yet again. Mike Fagan scores the round 10-9 Efrain as does Brent Brookhouse. Round 2 - Nover comes out swinging but Efrain just ducks under and gets a takedown right insto side control. Efrain is standing over Nover now throwing kicks to the leg and Nover finally stands up. Nover has double underhooks but hasn't been able to do anything with it yet. Efrain lands a right as they separate. Leg kicks are landing for Escudero now and he ducks under the strikes again looking for a single. Takedown for Efrain and he is in half guard. He's grinding away with punches and staying safely on top. They stand, Nover lands a body kick but Efrain answers with a big slam as time expires. 10-9 round on both Mike and Brent's scorecards. Round 3 - Nover throwing kicks again and he lands a nice hook but Efrain just pushes forward and gets a takedown. They go back to standing and Nover has to do something here. Two jabs land for Nover now. Kick lands for Nover but again he pays for it with a takedown by Escudero. Nover is looking for an omoplata now and is elbowing Efrain's shoulder. One minute left and it's all coming down to if this submission gets finished or not. Nover almost has it but Efrain escapes. 10-9 Nover on Brent and Mike's cards. Both unofficial BloodyElbow scorecards have the fight 29-28 for Efrain Escudero. Official Scorecards: 29-28, 29-28, 29-28 all for Efrain Escudero. Efrain Escudero wins by unanimous decision. Why didn't I stick with my gut here. I talked a lot about how Escudero is getting overlooked and slept on...but still picked Nover. Ah regrets...

Gonna be a good night of fights. Hopefully no limbs are broken this time.

There is nothing...
I hate more than the ass end of these finale cards though. 2 guys who are ungodly bad getting a crack at each other…not for me man. Not for me. But the majority of the card should feature some pretty solid fights.

Unlike past seasons, I think the spots on the card are warranted – and not because of talent. Giving a guy a spot in a prelim fight is the least Dana can do after the guy suffered 6 weeks in a house with piss drinking, jizz drinking, and Junie Browning’s antics. It’s like saying, “Hey, sorry you had to put up with that shit. As a consolation, we’re going to let you cage fight this once.”
by dropkick101 on Dec 13, 2008 1:36 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Complain all you want about the house antics...
But a lot of these guys are legit prospects and have a good chance at a well rounded MMA career. I can’t wait for tonight!!!!!
by banter on Dec 13, 2008 1:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
can’t agree with that. the four guys in the finale have a legit shot, as does krysztof. other than that, junie has a shot based on his quasi-celebrity meaning he’s going to have to be learning quickly at xtreme couture if he wants to make the most out of it. tom lawlor seemed like the type of big athletic guy who could be molded into a good fighter if he does the right things. other than that, i don’t think any of these guys will have any type of length careers in the ufc.
by dropkick101 on Dec 13, 2008 2:08 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
For some reason I think Junie could be a pretty good fighter if he would cut the shit, and take what he’s doing seriously. I could be completely wrong. I may be a dreamer, but I wish he would do more with his minor stardom than act like a degenerate.

Man even 4 guys is a lot from one show….
by banter on Dec 13, 2008 2:17 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Only 3 of these guys even have a chance at log term success in the UFC IMO (if they improve obviously) and that is vinny, nover, and bader.
Nover obviously because his striking looks really legit and powerful, and his bjj looks solid.
Vinny obviously because his BJJ is crazy good in a division without any BJJ wizards like he is. But, of course, his wrestling and striking need vast improvement… and who knows if he can take a shot in the face.
Bader because he seems big and strong and he can wrestle lol. Their seems to be one of these types in every division. Obviously needs work on his stand up. But he has potential based on his wrestling.
Efrain really seems to small to me and his wrestling does not seem that “explosive” if that makes any sense. ANd his striking looked like crap. Krystof is average… his record is average. He may be kept around as a fight night card guy based on being on TUF, but I don’ t think he will amount to anything special. Marshall will be the same way.
this is just IMO of course. We see so little of these guys on the show.

As you'll see on the staff picks...
I don’t buy for a damn second this weird Krzysztof love that sprung up with the show. The guy was a marginal fighter in the IFL and I’m not really sure why all of a sudden he is getting this “potential star” treatment. I don’t see the guy as being likely to be able to hang out in the UFC for very long at even a gatekeeper level. I think he wins tonight easily but beyond that…not so much.

That is a great point. I like Krystof and hope he does well, but his game is not very well rounded.
I do however think they set him and Eliot up with very winnable fights in order to keep them in teh UFC and see how they progress.
I still think Eliot has the best skill set currently, of the lhws, but not the best at any one thing.
BJJ-Vinny is a wizard. Eliot is a very good Black Belt. Krystof has heard of BJJ. Bader has not, lol.
Striking-Krystof probably has the best. Eliot is improving and pretty sound. Bader is about the same. Vinny has some kicks, but doesn’t like to exchange.
Wrestling-Bader of course. Krystof of Team Quest. Not sure about Vinny. Eliot never wrestled, even in HS, but is working with guys like Rashad and GSP at Jackson’s.
As I have said before, I think we will see bader, Vinny, Eliot, Krystof, Nover, Efrain, Shane Nelson and unfortunately Junie, multiple times in the UFC.
Eliot Marshall: Bader won. Like I said in the episode, I'm not going to make any excuses. It's my job to be able to deal with when somebody's doing that. It's not his job to change up his tactics.

I really like...
Eliot’s skillset. I didn’t like how he fought Bader…but he seems more than willing to accept the things he did wrong….and that’s a start. So yeah I think you’re right there.

Yeah, I really wish he hadn’t called out Bader, and been able to fight in the final, but I do respect him for doing it. The problem I see, is his lack of a wrestling background and the UFC is full of big, strong wrestlers.
As much as I am for Eliot, I wouldn’t have had a problem with any of the final four LHWs winning it all. I picked Bader to win before it started, so i guess i will stick with that, but there should be no doubt that Vinny can end a fight at any point during the 15 minutes.
Eliot Marshall: Bader won. Like I said in the episode, I'm not going to make any excuses. It's my job to be able to deal with when somebody's doing that. It's not his job to change up his tactics.

Yeah, Eliot’s got a lot of potential in the UFC. I think him and Bader (whether or not he wins tonight) are the best prospects to come out of the show’s LHW half.

agree about vinny
He’s good, not great and I don’t think he is gonna to hang around in the UFC. I was surprised to hear that a lot of people were expecting him to win the whole thing.

Junie Browning
I really hope Junie is able to tone down his ways just a little. I am from Kentucky also and the last time a dude from Kentucky was on there he didn’t do well either. I just think that Junie could be a lot better than he is allowing himself to be. I hope Couture could help the kid out a little. Can’t wait to see Nover and Escudero go at it.

Did you know we are in high demand, Laura?

agreed
ifi he had any td defense at all, this fight could be very different

Efrain looks really sharp. This is a pretty good scrap.

wooo
Good round! Sadly gotta give it to Efrain but still.. Nover got an iron head.
by mythbuster on Dec 13, 2008 11:34 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, even if he goes on to lose this fight he has a future in the UFC. Good striking, good BJJ, good chin.

Fake the punch, go for the knee when he ducks under.

Well, looks like a rematch between Browning and Escudero is now set

I’d rather see them fight non TUF’ers.

Efrain had a great gameplan. Nover needs some wrestling work, but I still say he’s got a bright future in the UFC.
by Cannon Jacques on Dec 13, 2008 11:49 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He desperately needs to work on his takedown defense.
by mythbuster on Dec 13, 2008 11:50 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed. His other skills look good and he took a few hard shots and didn’t look affected tonight. Get him some wrestling training and he’s going to be really freaking good.
by ricker2005 on Dec 13, 2008 11:50 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
get him Machida’s take down trainer. I swear that dude never gets taken down
by Sokonojudo on Dec 13, 2008 11:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
That division is stacked with serious wrestlers — Frank Edgar, Tyson Griffin, Gray Maynard, Kurt Pellegrino, Joe Stevenson, Jim Miller, Sean Sherk — Nover will be spending a lot of time on his back.
by Kid Nate on Dec 13, 2008 11:53 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Nover’s got some impressive standup and really solid BJJ. I think he can still be a force with a little seasoning…and takedown defense improvement.
by Cannon Jacques on Dec 13, 2008 11:56 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Spencer Fisher is better and hasn’t exactly dominated the division.
by Kid Nate on Dec 13, 2008 11:57 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Fisher is set in his ways though. There’s no saying that Nover can’t go and do a Florian and work on everything and get it up to that level he needs.

That ending had my heart rate going. I was pulling for the gogo/omo but too little too late

Efrain is almost a lesser sherk without t-rex boxing.

I haven’t seen Sherk pull off triangles and d’arces.

He's done a few triangles IIRC.

Hmm, I see none on his fight-finder record.
I’d love to see him try with those squat little turkey drumsticks of his though ;)

He's done 1, look at sherdog.
