Man. JT$ put in the performance of his career there. Been tons of fights where he's gassed out and given up easy subs after winning early but he absolutely mauled Krause and put a stamp on it.

Really do feel good for the guy, he's a total dork and genuinely good dude who's made the most of his redemption chance.
 
For the grand finale we will be predicting three fights to close out the contest. All taking place on Friday so make sure you get them in asap.

Fight 1: James Krause vs Tom Gallicchio (2 points)

Perfect option to win this season :)
Really hoping he pulls through.

Mistakes were made. I did not expect Krause to be initiating the wrestling early. I thought he'd pick at him with strikes and eventually JT would shoot for a predictable takedown and Krause would catch him with a guillotine. Krause trying to outwrestle the much stronger JT Money was a terrible gameplan. But all power to JT too, he never let Krause get comfortable and anytime he was in a bad position he reversed and ended up on top and just pounded Krause. And he never left himself open to any sub attempts which have been his biggest weakness in the past.

Yeah, James did not fight smart. & Jesse looked phenomenal. That pressure doe... Reminded me a lot of Chael.
 
Krause
JT$
Gaethje

This finale is really hard to pick man. Dhiego seems overall more skilled, and Jesse doesn't necessarily pose a threat to his biggest weakness (chin) but that relentless pressure and size JT$ possesses at 170 makes him so difficult for anyone without elite tdd/footwork to deal with.

Couldn't agree more. I pick Jesse by (T)KO because I think he just wants this so bad & will get him down & really beat the shit out of Lima until the ref has to stop it.

Man. Krause coming straight out and throwing lazy kicks every time was fucking painful. I thought his fight iq was much higher than that being a coach himself

It was like watching Rumble vs DC 2, I had no idea what he could possibly be thinking fighting like that. He took all the strengths he had and just said "fuck it" and tried to fight a dumb fight.
 
Krause had so many opportunities to take the back and was unlucky really...

Nevertheless, I'm happy for Jesse - hope he wins the whole thing now!
