Ultimate Fighter Finale

I just finished watching this fight. BJ Penn is a savage. Truly a technician. I didn't notice any uneasiness for BJ Penn during the fight. Smooth transition with his submissions. The rear naked choke hold was beautiful. I liked how he used his legs to keep Jens Pulver's armed down causing him to be defenseless near the neck area. A true living legend.
Jens pulver is a great fighter as well. A fighter with great heart and powerful hands. Can't take nothing away.
The ultimate fighter fights were okay, I guess. The finale was weak, except for the first round. Nate Diaz is a good fighter but the injury to Manny dampens this win for me. Hopefully in a couple months they can have a proper rematch.
Joe Lauzon is a savage, 'nuff said.
Roger Huerta is also savage.
Overall, a good night of action from the UFC. Can't wait for 73 and 75 to come. Definitely, can't wait for UFC75 with the Henderson and Jackson fight.
