I didn't see one of these, so I'll get it rolling: The Ultimate Fighter 8 FinaleLive on Spike TV, 12/13/2008, 9 p.m. ET Main Card:- TUF8 Lightweight Final: Phillipe Nover vs. Efrain Escudero
- TUF8 Light Heavyweight Final: Ryan Bader vs. Vinny Magalhaes
- Jason MacDonald vs. Wilson Gouveia
- Anthony Johnson vs. Kevin Burns -- the eye-poke rematch
- Junie Browning vs. Dave Kaplan
Undercard:- Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Shane Primm
- Eliot Marshall vs. Jules Bruchez
Kyle Kingsbury vs. Tom Lawlor
- Shane Nelson vs. George Roop
- Roli Delgado vs. John Polakowski
Gouveia weighed in at 189 and the commission wouldn't allow him time to cut more weight, so Gouveia vs. MacDonald is now a catch weight fight at 189, and Gouveia will forfeit 20% of his purse to MacDonald. |

I'm picking the card as follows: Nover by submission Magalhaes by submission Gouveia by TKO Johnson by KO Junie by submission Krazy-stuff by TKO Eliot Marshall by submission Tom Lawlor by decision Nelson by submission Delgado by submission I was also kind of amused by Tom Lawlor's Randy "Macho Man" Savage look at the weigh-ins:  |

I think McDonald vs. Gouveia should be the main event. McDonald has been in enough entertaining fights to headline a TUF finale.
I hope McDonald wins. After his fight with Maia I have become a huge fan of his.
here are my picks...
TUF8 Lightweight Final: Phillipe Nover vs. Efrain Escudero
TUF8 Light Heavyweight Final: Ryan Bader vs. Vinny Magalhaes
Anthony Johnson vs. Kevin Burns -- the eye-poke rematch
Junie Browning vs. Dave Kaplan

I'm currently watching the all-day Ultimate Fighter season right up until the event tonight. I think it'll be a decent night of fights. Granted, they aren't the biggest names around, but I still feel they can all put on a great fight. It should be great and I can't wait.

Yeah, even though they're not all superstars (yet anyway), they're relatively even fights... which means they could be very entertaining. Even if some of the guys are inexperienced, as long as they're not severely overmatched they could still be very fun fights to watch. |

Kaplan + His Entrance Music + Dance = AWESOME. Still going for Junie though.

That Dave Kaplan entrance was hysterical. Whatever happens in his MMA career from here on, that was worth it.

Great fight by Junie. He looked so much better than he did on the show its unbelievable. Kaplan though showed more charisma in just his entrance than on the entire show.

Good lord, that was a nice KO. On a side note, I'm 8-for-8 so far in my predictions... woo hoo!
But I'm sure I just jinxed it and will probably get both TUF 8 finals wrong now.
EDIT: Yep. I jinxed it. Me and my big mouth.

It was definitely "Bader Time" last night as he took care of Vinny in convincing fashion. Great KO by "Rumble" Johnson and good performance by Junie. I was hoping Jason MacDonald was going to win, but oh well.
Great night of fights overall. I enjoyed it.

wow. I can't believe Phillipe lost. I guess I got lost in the hype and actually believed what Dana was saying when comparing him to Anderson Silva and GSP.
F***ing dana ruined my predictions. Mcdonald =/
