EVENT: UFC 131: dos Santos vs Carwin
After 10 episodes, the UFC-produced reality show The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs Team dos Santos is finally coming to an end with its season finale on June 4, Saturday 9:00 PM PT/ 8:00 PM CT at the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
It’s Ramsey Nijem vs Tony Ferguson in the finals! Each will try to win and become The Ultimate Fighter and grab that six-figure UFC contract.
UFC 131 is supposed to feature in the main event, the comeback of former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar after his shocking loss to Cain Velasquez.
He was scheduled to fight Junior dos Santos after their coaching stint on The Ultimate Fighter Season 13, but due to a recurrence of diverticulitis, had to back out of the fight.
Instead, facing dos Santos will be the man who gave Lesnar all he got before being choked out in the second round, Shane Carwin. Carwin was supposed to meet Jon Olav Einemo. Instead, Einemo will now be fighting Dave Herman.
This is a very important fight for both dos Santos and Carwin as the winner of the fight is expected to face off against current UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez.
Last Saturday, June 11, 2011 LIVE from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Junior dos Santos clashed with Shane Carwin in a title-eliminator bout.
