That is correct.

 

This is the the first TUF to have someone in the finals who has a 1-3 pro record (Rakoczy).  If that isn't a sign this show needs to die, I don't know what is.

 

She is a former boxing champ who was fighting girls who she wasn't suppose to be fighting w/ zero experience training MMA. That would be a serious impediment to anyone's win-loss record.

Actually watched the entire TUF season, first I've watched any of since whichever one Bisping was on, and really enjoyed it. Jessamyn Duke was my favorite going in and loved her on the show, glad to see her get a fight on the main card still. Finals should be good.

It really says something that other than the two dudes who are in the Finals none of the other guys are fighting meanwhile there are two additional women's bouts and would have been three if the remaining two women weren't hurt. They ladies were the best part of this season, both in & out of the cage. Really hoping Rakozy wins, I hate this crybaby victim bullshit Pena pulled all season and in her blog on MMAfighting.com. Poor baby who received obvious special attention the whole season from her buddies Tate & Carraway. I hope Rakozy separates her from consciousness.

 

Duke vs. Morgan should be a nice brawl and I'm happy Roxanne is getting a shot in the UFC.
