TUF 5 Finalists *Spoilers*

djkilljoy77 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-13-2007, 01:05 AM

i had just read what matt had typed up about the semi'brackets for tuf 5. i believe i remebering hearing that too. that it would be teammate vs teammate. but just to confirm i was on the ufc site and was looking over the schedule and found an interesting spoiler. as you guys know the last two episodes of tuf 5 will air back to back well when i looked at the two tuf timings on the calender they have. the first show simply spoke about the confrontation b/w karo and nate. but on the second one, heres what it said 'maynard faces nate diaz in the last semi to determine who will fight manny G in the finale'. well they just gave away the first finalist and if going by rumours circulating through out it should be a nate manny finale. im just wondering why would they say teammate vs teammate on todays show when it obvis isnt the case.

do you have a link to where you read this?

cuz i remember some guy on the forum saying his source says Nate and Lauzon are the finalists.

TV promos for most shows for the upcoming episodes are almost always misleading to make the next episode seem more interesting.

Nate is fighting Manny in the semi-finals, so no it is not Nate vs Manny in the finale. That would be like....Impossible??

move your cursor over the june 14th shows and a small lil box opens up with the preview for it. read the second one which airs at 11pm ET on the 14th for the spoiler

sorry for the double post but i noticed a 'click here for more info' tab and heres a direct link to anyone having trouble finding this...

that for the second show. it doesnt give away the winner of the first semi but clearly states the remaining semi is b/w nate and gray eliminating the whole 'teammate vs teammate' concept. the earlier post with the link still shows manny so you can still check that one out

ya i checked it out and that is weird... hmm i think ppl saw the clip of next week of jens flippin out cuz he doesnt want it to be teammate vs teammate maybe dana listens to him and decides that is how it should go?? but i guess for the best finals match the semis should be teammate vs teammate that is just how it falls

so this suggests that Manny defeats Lauzon?

i'm glad to hear this, but i can't imagine HOW manny pulled it off.

the only way i see it happening is by submission. maybe a kimura.

hey that is totally wrong about the manny g thing in the finals because all it says is

The Ultimate Fighter® 5 episode 12
Premiere: Thursday, 6/14 at 11:00pm
Reairs: Thursday, 6/21 at 11:00pm and Saturday, 6/23 at 8:00pm

It’s mayhem at the Ultimate Fighter House as the fighters go stir crazy. And Gray Maynard faces Nate Diaz in the last semi-final match to determine who will move on to fight in the live finale on June 23rd at the Palms Hotel. so it does not state any thing about manny being in the finale

yeah i was over it right now and they obvis changed it. manny's name was put in right in between that line 'to determine who will move on to fight MANNY G. in the live finale'. i bet dana was reading my thread... lol
well either ways it should atleast prove that the semis are going to be a pulver vs penn semi instead of a team mate vs team mate. like the poste above im curious to see how manny takes out lauzon. to be honest i think maybe a desicion (split)
