I thought The Ultimate Fighter Finale was a pretty awesome event all around. I only watched the first two fights because I had to be somewhere at 11, but I was very impressed with what I saw.
I was disappointed to see Kenny lose so fast to Diego. Kenny pretty much ran from Diego at the beginning before getting taken down. He had a few nice sweep attempts, but he only ended up back in guard. Diego dominated him with his size.
Forrest and Stephan was one of the best fights I have ever seen. It had little ground work and was not even that technical of a striking match, but the sheer heart of the two fighters was very impressive. I had the fight dead even and was very glad that although Forrest won the decision, Dana gave them both UFC contracts.
I didn't get to watch Shamrock and Franklin so I'm not sure how that went. Overall though, I think this event was probably the best publicity for mixed martial arts in the history of the sport. Hopefully it will get more people excited about the martial arts (and grappling), and we will have more new people interested in our club.
