TUF15 Finale **Spoilers** broadcast info in first post**

El Guapo!

Thought I'd get a thread up for this since it's on tonight.
Some really tough fights to call in this one. I keep going back and forth between Ellenberger and Kampmann but I think Jake might just take it....although I'd never rule out Kampmann.
I like Chiesa and he had a tough road to the finale so I hope he wins but I can't see past Iaquinta getting the win here.

pauldoo

is this on facebook?.............:p

good start, quick turn around!

I hope chiesa looses, pretty annoying the way he carries on. Hasnt been the best season of TUF. Would love to see another comeback season, they could get great ratings off it

El Guapo!

Excellent first fight but ruined by Kim Winslow. She should not be allowed anywhere near a fight. Albert probably would've tapped eventually but still an awful awful call by Winslow.

lol
Technically the wiki is wrong as they blame the UFC for hiring her when in fact the refs have nothing to do with the UFC, they're employed by the state athletic commission.

Said it here before and I will say it here again. She is the worst referee in big show MMA but Dana gives out the impression Mazzagatti is, with his constant criticism of him.

Mazzagatti has messed up many times but Winslow messes up way too much and more regularly. Dana has to start criticising her more. Also, you have to feel sorry for John Mc Carthy, when he can't get a referee licence in Nevada because they have too many referees and yet Kim Winslow can.

moongoose

i think kim winslow is mazagatti's campaign manager to get him out of being the worst ufc ref....

El Guapo!

Great win by Proctor. Cracker of a knee!

It stopped on me too but I just logged out and back in again and its fine again now.

moongoose

the ufc is working fine so i'm using the great engineering principle!
if it ain't broke don't **** with it.

also they have bits from the studio on the ufc site as well hadn't caught that on facebook

Just looking at this card. I think the days of Dana criticising boxing for having one good fight on a card, have to be put on hold for a while. Ellenberger & Kampmann is a great fight but that is it. TUF Finales of old used to have some great fights.

moongoose

don't know about you but personally i'm looking forward to the finale fight & brookins fight as well

moongoose

nice win for sicilia. anyone else thinking back to griffin's comment of "when i stop throwing punches like this" que wild over hands demo

Johnny Johnson

I have seen Kim Winslow's early stoppage. Awful decision

moongoose

do she did redeem herself somewhat catching the eye poke. al turk would've loved that call against cro cop.....

Dana White says Albert still gets a win bonus

Yep. Here's the tweet:

Just an FYI John Albert will get his win bonus after the ridiculous stoppage by Winslow. Always cleaning up after bad reffin

I think he still would've tapped anyway but it was a terrible stoppage.

Im watching the #TUFFinale in Spanish...I have no idea whats going on

Nice finish by Lawrence there.

El Guapo!

What a ko.
The noise of that head kick was like a tree snapping in half!

Johnny Johnson

Sweet ko

Delighted for Chiesa!

Is the maincard for this online legally(and free) or just on television?

Edit: nvm figured it out

Kurz

Nice one for Kampmann, I think Hendricks will take him handy enough though. I really wish Diaz wasn't suspended for so long.

I know it's petty but it's really bad form how John Anik doesn't shake anyone's hand, he's like a shy five year-old. He interviews them and walks away quickly as they put their hand out. He's rubbish as a commentator too and drags Florian down to his mediocrity. He makes me happy that I don't really bother to watch these FX/Fuel cards.

El Guapo!

Disappointed for Ellenberger. I really thought he was gonna get the ko in rd 1. I think he just smelled the blood and got too sloppy.
Great win for Chiesa, delighted for him even though I had Iaquinta in the fantasy league!

jayteecork

I think Jon Anik is a lot better than Goldie, and not so "I know everything" like Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan thinks the moon landings were faked ffs.

I didn't really follow TUF 15 but I enjoyed the card.

got to love kampmann, if only for his heart.

Lol Dana calling out Winslow, she is a ****e ref though in fairness.

Reverse discrimination and nothing more.

PS: is Kampmann called the hitman after agent 47? He does bare a passing resemblance and the games were made in Denmark.

Someone obviously not a Kim Winslow (Wednesday Adams) fan wrote this article about the danger of Winslow as a ref. There's quite a few videos and gifs embedded so no point copying it to here.

Ellenberger looked wiped, he was blowing hard after the first round. Would like to know how much he cuts to make weight. Great seeing Kampman moving up the ladder however fear for him in his next fight.

He said on the MMA hour perviously that he's well over 190 when he steps into the cage.

Ye reckon he is well over 190 considering he drops to 170 & when people like Gray Maynard & Bendo drop from nearly 200 to fight at 155.

Keeping in line with what these whole series is based around(the house and gym) id like to see the finale episodes include them in the house one last time, pep talks, arriving at the arena, psyching up in the dressing room pre fight, then the fights. Instead we just go straight into the fights.
Ok this series is live which makes it different but for me its disappointing all the finales seem to go straight into the fights like nothing has gone before it.

The only way to save tuf is another Comeback season imo!
