The Ultimate Fighting Championship has released its full fight card for the Dec. 13 live finale of "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Nogueira vs. Team Mir," and a total of 16 cast members have been slotted for the event. The event takes place at The Palms Las Vegas, and the main card airs live on Spike TV at 9pm EST.The finals for the show's lightweight and light-heavyweight tournaments were determined during Wednesday's back-to-back new episodes of the reality show. The two lightweight finalists are Phillipe Nover and Efrain Escudero. The light-heavyweight finalists include Vinny Magalhaes and Ryan Bader. Previously announced non-"TUF" bouts of Jason MacDonald vs. Wilson Gouveia and Kevin Burns vs. Anthony Johnson are also set for the main card. The final televised bout, perhaps non-surprisingly, goes to controversial cast member and semifinalist Junie Browning, who's been pitted against Dave Kaplan, in the live finale.
The full card includes:
Efrain Escudero vs. Phillipe Nover ("TUF8" lightweight finals)
Ryan Bader vs. Vinicius Magalhaes ("TUF8" light heavyweights finals)
Wilson Gouveia vs. Jason MacDonald
Kevin Burns vs. Anthony Johnson
Junie Browning vs. Dave Kaplan
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
I have attached a spreadsheet that shows who has each fighter in the match up. Remember all fighters and coaches still earn points for the Finale (even the unaired fights), the the two tournament finals earn double points for the fighters and coaches.
Next week I will send out the fight odds for picks, and we will use those picks as a tie-breaker in case there is a tie.
I hope to see you next week, and good luck to everyone.
Jon
