    looks badass. I think Wilks takes it again, but its hard to doubt Lester just cause of his heart.

    I think Lester may be a little too banged up to win it, but he could land a monster shot and end the fight quick.

    James Wilks does well, finishing off an exhausted Frankie Lester in the third to advance to the finals. I don't like his chances against Demarcus but maybe his BJJ will be a difference maker.

    Without the US vs. UK gimmick I think this season would've been rather ordinary if not boring. There were no real incidents in the house, only a couple of the fights were exciting, and the show didn't evolve at all. Next season looks good, though.

    Terrible season.

    Yeah, UFC spoiled the winner of the fight. When they ran the promo for it on UFC 99, they had Demarques and James in the ad.

    it doesn't look like a lot of the TUF fighters are even fighting Saturday night. But that could be updated tomorrow, but I doubt it.

    only Dollar vs Dent is scheduled besides the 2 finals. This was a weak group of fighters for sure IMO.

    That is a bit surprising. Ultimate Fight Night 19 has next to no fights announced so perhaps we'll see some of them there.

    Frank Lester (3-2) vs. Nick Osipczak (3-0) has been added to the card.

    Gotta think Lester can outbang Osipczak in this one, but Nick should have the cardio if he can take a punch.

    Man Frank Lester is a tough guy doing 4 fights in 34 days. I felt bad for the way he lost and Wilt making fun of him during the fight. Lester needs to learn how to execute combinations to set up his power shots. He has potential to be a decent fighter in UFC, but he needs the right camp around him to develop him into a better all-around fighter. Right now he's a banger and relies on one big punch to win fights.

    I think after this upcoming HW season the UFC needs to do one season dedicated just to guys in Japan, Brazil, or a couple of countries in Europe. The potential is out there and it would make for a nice change of pace.

    agreed chocolove, but I'm sure the execs at Spike want Americans on their American channel watched by Americans, if you-America-get my-America-drift.

    you know how ignorant some ppl (especially casual 'lets see some blood' fans) can be about different cultures.

    p.s. America!

    Yeah, this is so true, especially on a channel like Spike. Still I am crossing my fingers and hoping that it happens.

    Hendo and Bisping both got tricked out Range Rovers in addition to their pay for coaching TUF. Nice.
