This year’s season finale of “The Ultimate Fighter” has come together with some pretty interesting fights, despite a season that failed to meet expectations. 

The expectations fell short due to a lack of personalities in the house, as well very little interaction among the coaches, certainly not because of a lack of ability among the fighters.

While some season 13 contestants failed to impress, the four fighters that made June 4’s card all bring a lot of intrigue to the table.

Not to mention that the main event features an excellent number one contender bout in the lightweight division.

Clay “The Carpenter” Guida will be taking on Anthony “Showtime” Pettis to see who gets the next shot at Frankie Edgar’s belt at 155 pounds.

Also on the main card, is a light heavyweight showdown between Kyle Kingsbury and Fabio Maldonado, as well as a middleweight fight between Ed Herman and Tim Credeur.

The inaugural Bleacher Report staff predictions features newcomers to the MMA team in Tony Preston and Dana Becker, as well as the work of featured columnists Dale De Souza, Jordy McElroy, and me, John Heinis. 

Also a special thanks to another featured columnist, Nick Caron, for providing the graphics for the slideshow. 

Let’s take a look at how our team feels this card is going to play out.
