The conclusion of “The Ultimate Fighter 20” leads to eight fights including the crowning of the first ever UFC strawweight champion Friday night in Las Vegas.
The main event of the finale will see Carla Esparza and Rose Namajunas square off for the initial 115 belt, plus the rest of the cast (expect Justine Kish) will be in action.
The event will also see the U.S. debut of former DEEP-JEWELS champion and Korea star Seo Hee Ham.
The fighters hit the scales at 4 p.m. pst/7 p.m. est and you can watch live below.
We won’t have to wait until September to find out who made the Ultimate Fighter 20 house.
