The 25th season of “The Ultimate Fighter” will come to a close on Friday night as veterans Jesse Taylor and Dhiego Lima will go toe-to-toe to see whose redemption story will fill out the proverbial script. “The Ultimate Fighter” 25 Finale will be anchored by that showdown as well as the main event between lightweights Michael Johnson and Justin Gaethje.
At Thursday’s official weigh-ins, everything went off without a hitch, giving the event the expected green light.
Gaethje, an undefeated young lion who has been mowing down the competition in smaller promotions and the now-defunct World Series of Fighting, looked as ready as he could be for his Octagon debut.
