UFC Fight Night For The Troops FREE Tonight on Spike TV

and my picks to win are:

Yoshida by submission
Swick by TKO
Steve Cantwell by KO
Tim Credeur vs. Nate Loughran – possible fight of the night? both seem to have nice submission skills. I’ll pick Credeur because I’ve seen more of his fights, thanks to the reality show.
Matt Wiman vs. Jim Miller – another possibly great matchup. I’m picking Wiman to win.
Luigi Fioravanti
Ben Saunders by JKD
Corey Hill by being 6’4″ and 155lbs.

Kendall Grove Defeats Evan Tanner By Split Decision; Other Results From The Ultimate Fighter Finale

Although many saw the fight as a unanimous decision, the official scoring had Evan Tanner winning one round. Although Evan was able to take Kendall Grove down, the reach advantage of Grove proved to be too much for Tanner. Kendall used his long legs to land good knees. I hope to see Evan Tanner back in action though, he is a true warrior, and despite being 12 years older than Grove, and living a harder life, he managed to last all 3 rounds and fought all the way through.

Other results from the show include Amir Sadollah scoring a 1st round armbar submission victory over CB Dollaway.

Diego Sanchez defeated Luigi Fioravanti by TKO (strikes) – Round 3
Matt Riddle defeated Dante Rivera by unanimous decision
Spencer Fisher defeated Jeremy Stephens by unanimous decision
Dustin Hazelett defeated Josh Burkman by submission (arm bar) – Round 2
Drew McFedries defeated Marvin Eastman by TKO (strikes) – Round 1
Dean Lister defeated Jeremy Horn by submission (guillotine choke) – Round 1
Matt Brown defeated Matt Arroyo by TKO (strikes) – Round 2
Rob Kimmons defeated Rob Yundt by submission (guillotine choke) – Round 1
