The Gambling Gods have finally rendered their verdicts on the remaining bouts for Saturday’s “The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale.” It appears the relative newbies’ unknown skills have forced them to go conservative with their ratings.
Court McGee will battle Kris McCray to determine who takes home the TUF 11 crown and the highly coveted six-figure UFC contract. The middleweight final was originally scheduled to serve as the card’s co-main event behind Matt Hamill vs. Keith Jardine (Hence the picture above), however the organization abruptly swapped it out with the light heavyweight battle.
Jardine owns a respectable 15-7-1 professional record, however has fallen on tough times having lost his last three bouts. He knows his head’s on the chopping block and has promised to respond.
Fans last saw Hamill being handed a controversial disqualification win over up-and-coming superstar Jon Jones after “Bones” landed a devastating, yet illegal, north-south elbow to Hamill’s head that prevented him from continuing.
