Two surprises here.

One, the fighter who couldn't continue wasn't Tommy. It was Matt, who had 2 impressive preliminary wins. Unfortunately, he hurt his rib and decided to bow out. Dana thinks Matt didn't want to face Mac and there might be some truth to that.

So, John stepped in to avenge his previous loss to Mac. He had a different game plan but the result was the same - rear naked choke.

Second surprise was Tommy knocking out George and advancing to the Finals.


Matt Hughes seem very happy that his 2 guys are advancing to the finals and consider his team the winner in Hughes vs. Serra. Now I'm thinking Serra should've let Tommy and Mac fight in the quarter semi, just to eliminate one of them.

The finale is this Friday and it should be a great fight between Mac and Tommy. I'm rooting for the underdog - Tommy.
