The Ultimate Fighter Season 13 Finale Predictions
The 13th season of The Ultimate Fighter is one fight away from inducting its new member into the fraternity of winners. The fighters have made their way through three fights on the show and are now only one fight away from achieving their goal of becoming the next Ultimate Fighter.
It’s Team Lesnar vs. Team Dos Santos one last time as Ramsey Nijem of Team Dos Santos will be taking on Tony Ferguson from Team Lesnar. Each fighter was favored early on by their coaches to win it all and breezed through the competition, making their coaches look like geniuses.
Nijem (4-1) used his wrestling to get himself to the finals with wins over Charlie Rader and Clay Harvison by submission and Chris Cope by TKO. Nicknamed “stripper Ramsey” by his house mates, Nijem will have the clear advantage on the ground against Ferguson.
Ferguson (10-2) became the exile of the show in episode #9 when he got drunk and got into an altercation with Charlie Rader. Ferguson used his striking to get him to the finals with (T)KO wins over Justin Edwards, Ryan McGillivray and Chuck O’Neil. Ferguson holds the striking advantage over Nijem, making this bout a classic striker vs. grappler.
The card also includes three other bouts with fighters from this season including Chuck O’Neil vs. Chris Cope that will appear on the night’s main card.
Co-headlining the card is a lightweight clash that could determine the next fighter in line for a title shot at 155 pounds. Clay Guida will stare across the Octagon and see the former WEC champion Anthony Pettis staring back at him, looking to finally get that unification bout after winner the WEC belt in the promotions final event.
