TUF 17 Finale

Demetrious Johnson injured and fight is off...sooo

Urijah Faber vs. Scott Jorgensen slotted as new main event for TUF 17 Finale

[Ludo]

I'll take Faber up to -300

Damn, quick turn around for Faber. And yeah, he should win.

[Ludo]

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.

sounds weird, but I am curious to see Faber/Wineland 2

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.

Interesting fight. I like Frankie in that one.

oh edmann..............................

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.
