The Ultimate Fighter 20 finale goes down live Friday night in Las Vegas, Nevada, and as advertised, a champion will be crowned. TUF 20 was a solid season, probably the best since TUF 17, and while some of the fights were hit and miss, over the last two weeks, the action in the cage finished strong. Heading into the finale, that's a great sign, as it sets us up for a fantastic title fight between Carla Esparza and Rose Namajunas - the vet and the upstart. The UFC has started the month of December strong, and they're look at continuing the trend with two solid events this coming weekend - UFC on Fox 13 airs on Saturday, following the TUF finale Friday. Is it worth tuning in for? Definitely if you're an MMA fan. If you're a casual fan, the interesting angle is that aside from the title fight and the runner-ups, all of the girls from TUF 20 are fighting on the preliminaries, including popular fighters like Bec Rawlings and Felice Herrig. The UFC might have been better served to throw at least one of their fights on the main card - but we'll have to wait and see how things pan out. For the time being, however, here are five main card predictions for The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale.
