    Some interesting fights on the finale. Jeremy Horn V Dean Lister should be a good one and although I like Evan Tanner, I think Kendall Grove will destroy him.
    Will also like to see how the two Matts shape up against each other.


    * Kendall Grove vs. Evan Tanner
    * Luigi Fioravanti vs. Diego Sanchez
    * Finalist #1 vs. Finalist #2
    * Spencer Fisher vs. Jeremy Stephens
    * Jeremy Horn vs. Dean Lister
    * Josh Burkman vs. Dustin Hazelett
    * Marvin Eastman vs. Drew McFedries
    * Rob Kimmons vs. Rob Yundt
    * Matt Arroyo vs. Matt Brown

    UFC's website says it's on Sunday the 22nd at 9pm on Bravo

    Some interesting fights. I read that Matthew Riddle will be fighting Dante Rivera too I think. Not many guys from the show fighting, the quality is obviously decreasing

    Cheers fozzy. Usually some good fights by the 'lesser' known fighters on those shows.

    People have been saying that for every season though, sure a good few of the blogs gave up on this season before it even started when the names (and records) leaked but you can take Amir Sadollah, with his 0-0 pro record, and vindicate this entire series.
    At the same time having the ultimate fighter contestants as a mix of promising talent and entertaining meatheads has been the pattern so far anyway, so nobody should be surprised by a severe cut. This year had 32 guys at the same weight get their face on camera but I'm sure if at the end of it they come out with CB and a handful of fighters to fill in Fight Nights and undercards they'll be perfectly happy.

    Oh and one of the blogs recently pointed out the amount of talent that came through in TUF 5. There was a lot.

    I think that could be put down to the fact that they were the first lightweights on TUF. They got the pick of the bunch out of all the unsigned fighters in that division. This is the third time that they've had middleweights on the show and I think the talent pool is almost dry

    I'm sure they'll add more guys to the finale once the show is over, but I don't see many getting signed. Isn't Mac Danzig the only guy from last season still in the UFC?

    Next season could be fun though, lightweights getting trained by Frank Mir! Nogueira also has Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida as his coaches, so some guys are surely going to pick some things up by working with them
