June 20, 2008 by Sam Caplan
Las Vegas, Nevada – FiveOuncesOfPain.com attended today’s weigh-ins for the live season finale of “The Ultimate Fighter 7” Friday at the Palms Hotel & Casino.
The weigh-ins were not held in the Pearl concert venue, but instead in a ballroom that was located in the same area. The weigh-ins were jammed packed.
Results and bout order are as follows:

- Rob Yundt (185 lbs.) vs. Rob Kimmons (185 lbs.)

- C.B. Dalloway (185 lbs.) vs. Amir Sadollah (185 lbs.)
- Kendall Grove (186 lbs.) vs. Evan Tanner (186 lbs.)
Things got interesting during the Fisher vs. Stephens weigh-in. Stephens weighed in before Fisher and was waiting for the staredown. Fisher came up to him like he was going to hit him. Stephens gave him a fake backhand and words were exchanged. The two were separated but were still exchanging words. Who knew the battle for Iowa would be so intense?
Credeur and Sanchez had a lot of supporters in the crowd, especially Sanchez. He is back to his old super-intense style that he had when he was racking up wins. He looked like he wanted to fight at the weigh-ins.
Grove was especially intense as well and refused to shake hands with Tanner after the staredown. Tanner came out in sun glasses, a bandanna, and a crazy beard. He looked like Kimbo Slice.
Seen attending the weigh-ins were UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and trainer Juanito Ibarra; TUF 7 competitors Mike Dolce, Jeremy May, and Gerald Harris; TUF alum Troy Mandaloniz; and Ariel Helwani of MMARated.com.
In an interesting turn of events, there were actually a fair amount of people going up to May seeking pictures and autographs.
anyone know why Dolce or Harris isn’t fighting on the finale, or if they signed with the UFC? I can’t believe that Harris isn’t fighting unless he’s not healthy.
i think you mean crazy beard
i can’t wait to see arroyo mix it up again
I’m hoping Tanner puts Grove out of the UFC. TEAM TANNER!
Dolce has been helping Rampage get ready for his fight, last few blog posts he did were from Rampages camp in Big Bear or wherever.
