TUF 12 Finale: By the Odds

And then we came to the end of another season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” bringing us to yet another TUF Finale event. It’s that special night when the fighters who might have a future square off against the ones who probably don’t, and when the cream that has risen to the top during the reality TV tournament undergoes one last sifting with a fine cut-glass trophy on the line.

Okay, so maybe that’s a little cynical. I’m a tad under the weather and still stressing over how I’m going to absorb two MMA events on Saturday night without my head exploding, so forgive me.

Rather than draw this out any more than we need to, why don’t we just look at the main card odds for the TUF 12 Finale and figure out where the best deals are so we can all bet big and retire early?

Kendall Grove Says He Asked for Fight with Demian Maia, Takes Our Trivia Quiz…(VIDEO)

UFC Middleweight and TUF 3 Champion, Kendall Grove says he asked matchmaker Joe Silva for a fight with Demian Maia because he is at a point in his career where he only wants to fight the best. Grove doesn’t think the caliber of fighters he’s beaten lately mean much to advancing him up […]

UFC Middleweight and TUF 3 Champion, Kendall Grove says he asked matchmaker Joe Silva for a fight with Demian Maia because he is at a point in his career where he only wants to fight the best. Grove doesn’t think the caliber of fighters he’s beaten lately mean much to advancing him up the ranks or testing his true abilities. Whether he wins or loses he wants to see what he can do against a respected talent like Maia.

As Grove has been fighting in the UFC since 2006, RawVegas.tv thought they would test his cognitive skills and see if he could answer a few trivia questions to gauge how the years of fighting have effected him. Grove says he’s a “dumb fighter” and didn’t expect to know the answers… Watch full video below:

Are you someone who has a tough time making decisions? Does holiday time make you crazy because you can’t decide on the right thing? (Just go with a gift card, dummy). Fortunately for you, you’re not often faced with decisions in the MMA world. On most nights there’s a major show running, it’s the only major show running.

Unfortunately for you, Saturday night is not one of those nights. You’re going to have to make a decision. Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu airs on Showtime, while the UFC counters with the TUF 12 Finale on Spike.

What to do? To figure it out, I enlisted the help of my MMA Fighting colleague Ben Fowlkes to argue over who’s controlling the remote.
