Check out the Complete TUF 13 Finale Card
Now that the 13th season of the Ultimate Fighter is in the books it’s time to crown yet another season’s champion. Ramsey Nijem of Team Dos Santos will take on Tony Ferguson from Team Lesnar for that six figure contract. Ironically both fighters were the coaches’ picks to make it to the finals.
Nijem (4-1) really dominated his way through the tournament with finishes over Charlie Rader, Clay Harvision and Chris Cope to reach the finals. The fourth pick by Junior Dos Santos, Nijem was nicknamed “Stripper Ramsey” by his housemates for obvious reasons if you watched the show.
Ferguson (10-2) was the quiet one on the show until he got drunk following his quarterfinal victory where he tackled Charlie Rader over a couch and called out his family. The unfortunate event overshadowed Ferguson’s wins over Justin Edwards and Ryan McGillivray in the first two rounds. Practically alone for his semifinal fights against Chuck O’Neil, Ferguson out kick boxed O’Neil on his way to a 3rd round TKO win.
All the fighters that fought in the quarterfinal round with the lone exception being Zach Davis were also added to the Finale card. Davis lost to Chuck O’Neil in the quarterfinals and during the fight had his retinas in both eyes torn. The doctors repaired the injuries but Davis was informed he’d be unable to continue his MMA career due to the possibility of further injury to his eyes.
Co-headlining the finale is a lightweight showdown between Clay Guida (28-11) and the WEC lightweight champion (still waiting to get his unification title bout) Anthony Pettis (13-1). After defeating Ben Henderson at the final WEC event, Pettis was suppose to face the current UFC lightweight champion to unify the belts. Much to the dismay of Pettis a draw and postponed title fight has put that on hold, so Pettis faces a very tough Guida.
After the additions of the TUF 13 final plus the three additional bouts featuring fighters for the season, the Ultimate fighter season 13 Finale now has 11 overall bouts.
