5 Predictions For The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale

3. Dhiego Lima vs. Eddie Gordan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Q6Tb_CW0U Weight Class: Middleweight In the first of two TUF 19 finals, we have a solid fight at middleweight. Dhiego Lima (9-1) isn't the first fighter in the Lima family to break into the MMA business. Over in Bellator, brother Douglas Lima won the vacant welterweight championship belt earlier this year, a belt that Ben Askren left behind when he tested the free agent market and wound up signing with ONE FC. Dhiego is the lesser known Lima as a result, but he has a chance to break onto the big stage at the TUF 19 finale. Lima is a rare bright spot in a dull season of TUF, a guy who has finished opponents in a season rife with decisions. He's got some slick submissions, and win or lose will likely find his way into the UFC. Eddie "Truck" Gordan (6-1), meanwhile, is the lesser experienced (in number and names fought) of the two combatants, having fought almost exclusively in ROC prior to joining TUF. Gordan did, however, upset Cathal Pendred to get to the finals, and he'll be looking to upset again. The said, the more polished Lima takes this one by submission in the first two rounds.
