Yes he will and that's how I saw this going down when the semifinal matchups were announced. Winner and Demarques get the contracts.

Wilks is going to destroy Lester


I think Lester has a punchers chance.

However I would like to see Demarques beat a Brit in the finale though.

Kind of disappointed in this season, I wonder if they picked a mediocre USA team to help the UFC grow by gaining a TUF champion or two.

At least the main card of the finale will have Guida vs Sanchez and Diaz vs Stevenson!

this really is a terrible season. they dont even have a 155 on this show that'll be around in 2 years imo and Demarques is the only 170 thats decent and its not like he is Diego or anything. Mac Danzig has been doing terribly in the UFC and he would roll all of these 155 dudes up into a ball.

They have done a lot of seasons with 155ers I think.

I don't know what to think of how Winner and Demarques will fare in the UFC. I see Winner having a better career because I think his stand up is far more technical. We have yet to see him truly tested on the ground though. Both LW and WW are very deep divisions in the UFC though which could give both of these guys big problems trying to find their way in.

this is the 3rd 155 show but Diego, Joe Daddy and Danzig all won other weights and dropped to 155 with a shite load of others like Florian.

That's why it probably seems like a lot more.

Hell Diego and Florian have dropped from 185 to 155 since the TUF Finale.

How great was the line "Frank Lester gets back in the cage with the guy that ruined his smile"

He's got no shot, but I would guess he's already got a tapout and ufc contract (not 6 figures) waiting for him.

I'm not sure why they keep having lw's. It's the deepest division that the UFC has.

As young as Dollah is he could maybe make it in a couple of years.

You can tell his fight was over when Winner kneed him in the stomach. His ribs must have been hurting pretty bad.

They really need to concentrate on MW's and HW's.

They need to funnel these guys straight to WEC's LW division.

Last episode. Don't know if I can really stomach watching Bisping put 3 guys in the finals tonight.

For those interested, the episode already aired in the UK and there are spoilers on sherdog.

Also, i'm sure it's old news but for those who missed it.

I guessed they finally got tired of the scrubs and finally went after talent

Who won that round? Wilks?

Lester looked liked he hurt Wilks, but Wilks might have stole that round at the end with a few nice jabs.


Apparently Lester doesn't know the difference between a kick and a straight jab.

Winner, Johnson. I hope it goes like that.


Wilks looks damn good, but it's hard to tell how good he really is. He had a fricking cake walk into the finale.

Melvin Guillard back in action Saturday night. Then he will be out another 6 months after the post fight drug test.
