Re: ► OFFICIAL UFC - TUF - The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale - Las Vegas - April 13th, 2
- Props to everyone for putting in work on the prelims and main card.
- Big ups to Tate & Zingano for putting on an entertaining fight. Nice to see Zingano get some shine. Those knees - DAMN. Always been a fan of Tate's. She's had exciting fights aplenty in recent years.
- Urijah's been on a roll in recent years with the submissions. Did the commentators say 6 of his last 7 wins were by way of submissions or something like that? 16 or 17 total submission wins over the course of his entire career. Wasn't the most exciting fight between him and Jorgensen though. Faber outclassed him coming in ... they've been friends for years (dating way back into their WEC days) and they're under the same management company. Hence not trying to kill one another in there.
- Props to Kelvin on the win. He was the underdog coming into this season ... youngest entrant (turned 21 just before it started) ... upset fighters along the way ... can take damage ... and has heart. Not the most exciting to watch, but he's durable (recovers well) and works his takedowns into the gameplan properly. Hall looked like he was trying too hard to imitate Silva at times ... the hands down ... backing himself into the cage ... but also taking too long in the 1st round to gauge distance, etc. He should have come out and imposed his well. My take was Kelvin - 1st / Uriah - 2nd / a tougher one to call in the 3rd.
