They haven't said "Bellator Champion" once. Bet Anik and Stan are wearing shock collars, if they say it Dana smashes the button #TUFFinale

Very close 1st rd. Ill Will likely took it but could be a coin flip. #TUFFinale

Pearson brought it to brooks in rd 3. Didn't get the finish, but put on a fan friendly round #TUFFinale

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) July 9, 2016

I'm shocked that Will Brooks stood toe to toe with Ross the whole fight His stand up got way better #TUFFinale

— Cub Swanson (@CubSwanson) July 9, 2016

The lightweights steal the show again. Great scrap there! #TUFFinale #UFCVegas

— Joe Ellenberger (@JoeEllenberger) July 9, 2016

Ill Will might take it, but it's close. Ross could get it. Either way, not the debut Ill was hoping for. Ross is double-tough. #TUFFinale

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 9, 2016

It's very premature but does anyone else love the thought of a Brooks v Alvarez title fight?
