TUF Live brought a new format with 16 new fighters but in the end there is that same outcome, someone is going to be crowned the next Ultimate Fighter. After last week’s final TUF Live episode that saw the two semifinals bouts we have reached the TUF Live Finale, happening this Friday from The Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada.
If you remember last week episode, Dominick Cruz gave Urijah Faber the control to pick and he asked his team who’s ready to fight, which prompted no response from team Faber. The fighters on Team Cruz took that as a sign of weakness and a victory for their team, shooting their confidence through the roof.
