Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

The Ultimate Fighter 9, Episode 12 Live Thread

Last week, we saw the UK team lock up the lightweight tournament as Andre Winner and Ross Pearson advanced to the finals.  Can Frank Lester provide a similar feat for the Americans at welterweight?  Or will James Wilks knock Lester's lower teeth out and keep the possibility of a UK sweep remain alive?

At the risk of Team United States concocting a biological tartar sauce recipe for Team United Kingdom's fish and chips tonight, props to everyone not named Browning for representing the sport so well this season.

Lester, because the rest of his teeth will be more difficult to knock out.

Andre Winner and Ross Pointon advanced to the finals.

Isn’t it Ross Pearson, or did I miss something in the cast?
