TUF 17 Finale

[SPX]

It seems like everyone in the division not named Barao and Cruz get smoked by Faber without much of a problem. Wineland is arguably the only other fighter at 135 to steal a round off him and from what I remember Faber may even have won that round, he just didn't run a takedown clinic in that round. Jorgensen got thrown to the wolves a little too early and it looks like he never really bounced back to that point where younger fighters keep improving. He just kind of stayed where he was developmentally and it's starting to cost him.

Well Jorgensen had won 5 fights in a row--including wins over Mizugaki and Brad Pickett--so it made sense for him to get a title shot. After that loss, he fought Ken Stone and Jeff Curran, both of whom he beat. He then lost to Barao and Wineland but got another bounce-back fight against John Albert. All in all, he seems to have been treated pretty fairly and I think his role in the division has been pretty well-defined.

Now he's probably going to get an ass whipping from Faber. Then he'll probably fight someone like Alex Caceres to get back on track.

BOL!

I like Faber here, but Jorgensen is worth a look at those odds.

[SPX]

I don't see see any non-flukey way for Jorg to win. And Jorg isn't known for one-shot KOing people and I seriously doubt he subs Faber, a fighter who has never been subbed in 33 fights.

[Thewisemann]

If Browne can stay off the mat for the first few minutes he should win. Gonzaga will tire if he has to work and cant get the td.
At a glance I like Bartimus.

[SPX]

I'll be surprised if Brown doesn't beat Gonzaga's damn ass.

The Miller/Bartimus fight is tough, but like you said, at a glance I probably like Bartimus. This doesn't seem like the best time in Miller's career. He's been having a rough go of it lately.

[edman5555]

I like browne as well. He is quick on the feet so he should be hard for gonaga to get his hands on and land the takedown. His wrestling isnt bad either.

Bart/miller. My first reaction was bart as well but now im not sure. Miller isnt bad. He has a long reach and he is dangerous off his back so bart probably wont want to take him down. If thats the case then it could be a striking match and i dont know who wins that.

And lastly, where the hell is the rest of this card? Theres gotta be a few more fights. Anyone have a clue?

[SPX]

Miesha Tate/Cat Zingano
Justin Lawrence/Daniel Pineda
Maximo Blanco/Sam Cicilia

. . . have also been announced.

But I think the current season of TUF has to conclude before they can finalize the rest of the card.

Its five days away

[edman5555]

Btw i rewatched faber wineland jorgensen wineland. I am more confident in faber now. I think he will have a big speed advantage on the feet.

[edman5555]

Just read an interview with cat zingano and apparently she is a very good wrestler.

I think there's one more episode to determine the finalists, right?

Like I said before, I'll be pretty damn surprised if Faber doesn't beat his splotchy skinned ass.

I haven't seen her fight but a lot of people are giving her a legit shot to beat Tate.

I might be on zingano. She is starting to sound like a badass.

You know what? I forgot that they pre tape this shit dont they? I figured they couldnt have a fight this week and then make the guys fight a couple days later due to the athletic commisions. Maybe. Am wrong.

[SPX]

Yeah, I think it's been long done. In fact, I think I heard that Uriah Hall was on some talk show the other day or something.

I believe the only season they did the shit in real time was the TUF Live season with Faber and Cruz.
