I just got around to watching the Ultimate Fighter Championship Finale. Needless to say, I am more than thrilled to see Ryan Bader win his fight. I think that guy has what it takes to go the distance in UFC. He has a good head on his shoulder, he's calm, and he knows how to fight with a good mixture of stand up and wrestling.
I'm not sure about my thoughts on the foil of Bader, Junie Browning, winning. He looked a heck of a lot better than he ever did on the show. I never once thought the guy was devoid of talent but he looked pretty damn good on the the finale. I think this guy also has what it takes to be a contender in his weight class. I hope that other UFC fighters are looking out for Browning.
Finally, I was unhappy when Nover lost his fight. I think he's the better fighter overall but just messed it up at the finale. I look forward to seeing more of him in the future.
