The latest installment of the Spike TV reality show, “The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck” sees two more lightweights stepping into the octagon in an elimination match.

Early on, the two trade strikes, with both fighters having their moments. Soon after, they lock up, with Main taking Watson’s back as they stand against the fence. Main is the busier fighter, using his punches to force Watson to the mat. Watson remains patient and gets free with two minutes left. He lands a few ground strikes before the bell, ending the round strong….”
