Winners on UFC’s 32nd season of “The Ultimate Fighter” will be crowned next weekend.
Finalists for the featherweight and middleweight divisions from this year’s season of “TUF” will compete at UFC’s August 24th card at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, as recently confirmed by the promotion.
At middleweight, American Ryan Loder is expected to take on Swiss finisher Robert Valentin in the finals.
Valentin earned a pair of finish wins in on the reality show to get on Saturday’s card, knocking out Giannis Bachar in the first round and submitting Paddy McCorry early.
Loder went the distance for a decision win against Omran Chaaban in the semi-finals after making quick work of Tom Theocharis earlier in the season.
The featherweight finals haven’t been announced yet, as the remaining semi-final bout from the tournament will air on the season finale this Tuesday. It was revealed just over a week ago that Australian prospect Kaan Ofli would get into the finals after beating Nathan Fletcher and Roedi Roets.
Ofli is expected to face the winner of a fight between Mairon Santos and Zygimantas Ramaska. However, it has been teased on the show that an injury to Ramaska might cause an alternate to also step into the bracket.
A clash between ranked middleweights Jared Cannonier and Caio Borralho is expected to headline the card.
