The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale coverage

Lightweight bout:
Joe Stevenson vs. Nate Diaz

Stevenson wins unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).

Fight analysis: Stevenson controlled much of the bout against the cage. Both fighters traded several guillotines, including one by Stevenson in the first round that was incredibly tight. This was a pretty technical bout all the way through. Neither fighter really opened up on the feet until Diaz did in the final minute. A solid, albeit unspectacular, fight.

Welterweight bout:
Chris Lytle vs. Kevin Burns

Lightweight Final:
Ross Pearson vs. Andre Winner

Welterweight Final:
DaMarques Johnson vs. James Wilks

Lightweight bout:
Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida

I’m starting to grow a bit weary of these Chris Lytle-styled sloppy stand-up wars.

Bloody hell.

how do you get tired of two dudes beatin the hell out of each other. its not technical but it was entertaining

The key phrase is “not technical” — to me it’s a little like two guys trying to submit each other with neck cranks at a furious pace.

Bloody hell.

Damn my stream is choppy as hell, but this fight has some crazy sh!t happening in it.

Bloody hell.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates. My Internet is cutting in and out here.

by Matt Bishop on Jun 20, 2009 11:15 PM EDT reply actions

Wilks looked better than he had all season, man. Props to him. Guy has potential.

“The Nightmare” has a title shots in his crosshairs! Looks psyched.

Two bloodbaths tonight, baby! Lytle-Burns and Sanchez-Guida!

by Rich Wyatt on Jun 20, 2009 11:47 PM EDT reply actions

Outstanding fight! I think Sanchez edged him out. A little busier and more effective. Guida is a tough, tough test for anyone.

by Rich Wyatt on Jun 20, 2009 11:54 PM EDT reply actions

I will be astonished if they give this to Guida.

by Ahhhoki on Jun 20, 2009 11:55 PM EDT reply actions

man guida is gonna have to shave that head so they can stitch all the cuts.

In terms of damage, that fight was not even close.

Bloody hell.

by 3PA on Jun 20, 2009 11:56 PM EDT reply actions

Who the Hell gave that to Guida? LOL!!!!

...some call me "el mexicutioner"...

by _Felix_ on Jun 20, 2009 11:57 PM EDT reply actions

Right call. It was close but I would have been surprised by a different outcome. Pretty good card. Goodnight everybody.

by Rich Wyatt on Jun 20, 2009 11:57 PM EDT reply actions

Split decision. What a disgrace…

Was Cecil Peoples a judge or something?

by Ahhhoki on Jun 20, 2009 11:57 PM EDT reply actions

The 10 must system has to be reviewed.

Bloody hell.

by 3PA on Jun 20, 2009 11:58 PM EDT reply actions

Demarques lost, Guida lost and Joe Daddy won. Awesome!
