Saturday, December 4 marks the end of yet another season of the UFC’s flagship reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter. In this most recent season, the show’s twelfth, “Rush” Georges St. Pierre (20-2) and “Kos” Josh Koscheck (15-4) squared of as the coaches for the fourteen UFC hopefuls, but in the end, it will be two Team GSP fighters who face off for the prize. “The American Psycho” Stephan Bonnar (12-7) will co-headline the card against Team Cro Cop member Igor Pokrajac (15-6) with a supporting cast that includes middleweights Demian Maia (12-2) and “Da Spyder” Kendall Grove (12-7), and welterweights Johny Hendricks (9-0) and Rick Story (9-2). The card also holds the distinct honor of being the first UFC card ever to host fighters under the 155 lb. lightweight class as WEC featherweight slugger “Bad Boy” Leonard Garcia (14-6-1) faces the last man standing in the semi-finals from Team Koscheck, Nam Phan (16-7). The final two TUF cast members are GSP’s first and second picks Michael Johnson (12-6) and Jonathan Brookins (11-2), and they will fight for the UFC’s three-fight six figure contract and the title of “The Ultimate Fighter”.

When Strikeforce arrives in St. Louis, Missouri tomorrow former Elite XC Heavyweight Champion ”Bigfoot” Antonio Silva (13-2) will look to start a new winning streak by coming out on top in his battle against late replacement “MAK” Mike Kyle (14-7), a well rounded and dangerous kickboxer. Kyle stepped in for the injured “The Python” Valentijn Overeem (26-21) on late notice last week and wants to show the world he belongs in the Strikeforce heavyweight title picture. Both men are strikers of titanic proportions with a knack for bringing the heat that will all but guarantee a fan friendly slugfest to appease casual and hardcore crowds alike. Continue reading »
