Check out the fight card and bout order for The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale, which goes down on Friday, July 7th and features Justin Gaethje and Michael Johnson in a lightweight main event.
There are two UFC events to look forward to as part of International Fight Week 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first one is on Friday, July 8th, as The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale will crown the $250,000 grand prize winner. It’ll be one of Dhiego Lima, James Krause, or Jesse Taylor. You can see Krause vs. Taylor on the next TUF episode on Wednesday.
Your main event is a great one, as WSOF lightweight champion Justin Gaethje makes his UFC debut against contender Michael Johnson. It is awesome that this is a five-rounder.
