|  TUF 7 Finale looking good
Quote: Five Ounces of Pain | Report: Spencer Fisher vs. Jeremy Stephens at TUF 7 Finale
MMA Junkie is reporting that a lightweight match-up between Spencer Fisher and Jeremy Stephens has been confirmed for The Ultimate Fighter 7’s season finale on June 21st.
Fisher (20-4) comes to this fight after pulling out of a fight with Marcus Aurelio at UFC Fight Night 13 due to injury. His last actual fight was at UFC 78 where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Frankie Edgar. In that fight Fisher was unable to defend Edgar’s takedowns and spent the majority of the fight on his back. If everything goes as expected, Fisher shouldn’t have to worry about working off his back against Stephens, who is very much stand-up oriented.
Stephens (13-2) also comes to this fight after pulling out of a previously scheduled match-up. Stephens had agreed to face Terry Etim on the undercard of the upcoming, UFC 84 but had to pull out due to a “minor legal situation”. Stephens differs to Fisher in that the last time he stepped inside the caged walls of the UFC Octagon, he tasted victory. He impressively dispatched TUF 5’s Cole Miller via a 2nd round TKO earlier this year.
This fight is the 5th “non-TUF” fight to be scheduled for the TUF 7 finale which is in stark contrast to last year’s TUF 6 Finale which, except for the main event and Jonathan Goulet, was entirely made up of fighters that participated in that season of the Ultimate Fighter.
The event will be headlined by a welterweight clash between Diego Sanchez and Luigi Fioravanti. Other bouts on the card include, Drew McFedries vs. Marvin Eastman, Evan Tanner vs. Kendall Grove and Josh Burkman vs. Dustin Hazelett.
| Man this card is looking pretty good... I REALLY hope that Tanner KO's Grove to the minor leagues... for some reason I just can't stand Grove!

I'm actually more excited for the other fights rather than the main event.
WAR Fiorivanti, Fisher, McFedries, and Tanner!

Yeah I'm not a fan of Grove and a big supporter of Evan Tanner putting his career back on track.
Heres sending Grove to WEC.... or the WWE

I would like to see the two semi finalists who lose, fight eachother on the main card. Then of course the finals. But other than that I don't mind saving the other TUF guys for the undercard.
