The Ultimate Fighter Finale 3 Fighter Fixtures on 5th June
If you work the night shift like I do, you might wanna talk to your boss about booking off a few evenings in June. That’s because the UFC is giving us all we can handle with The Ultimate Fighter 3 finale on the 24th followed by Ultimate Fight Night 5 on the 28th. Both events will air live on Spike TV from the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
The TUF3 finale will be headlined by TUF1 finalist Kenny “KenFlo” Florian taking on deadly Canadian striker Sam “Hands of Stone” Stout. Other reputed matchups include Keith Jardine vs. Wilson Gouveia and Josh Neer vs. an opponent to be announced. And of course, there’ll be the middleweight and light heavyweight finals to determine who’ll receive a six figure contract with the UFC.
But if that isn’t enough mma to satisfy your twisted needs (mine are insatiable), only 4 days later we’ll have Ultimate Fight Night 5. Rumors are flying all over the internet about this one. It looks like the main event will feature Chris “The Crippler” Leben butting heads with UFC newcomer Anderson “The Spider” Silva. The Spider is currently ranked #4 in the world among middleweights on mmaweekly.com’s Top Ten List. Personally, I’m super stoked to see my fellow Canuck Mark “The Machine” Hominick go to war with Jorge Gurgel. Also rumored to be on the card:
Stephan Bonnar vs. Rashad Evans
Josh Koscheck vs. Dave Menne
Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves
Luke Cummo vs. Jonathan Goulet
Jason Lambert vs. Brandon Lee Hinkle
