I am leaving for Vegas in a few hours for The Ultimate Fighter Finale. I have a couple friends that were in the house on this season so its really not a show that I could miss.
Congrats to Dan "The Upgrade" Lauzon on his win on Friday night. Dan is under contract with affliction and is set to fight Chris Horodecki in January but took a local fight to stay sharp. Here is the video of the fight.
