Fighters Make Weight for TUF 7 Finale
Friday, June 20, 2008
by Mike Sloan (msloan@sherdog.com)

LAS VEGAS -- The weigh-ins for the finale of season seven of "The Ultimate Fighter" went off without a hitch Friday. There were no head butts, riots or fighters wearing T-shirts criticizing their bosses. All in all, the scale-tipping exercise was business as usual.

Not one fighter missed weight inside the packed ballroom at the popular Palms Resort, and announcer Joe Rogan's decibel levels were kept in check. The only near skirmish came in the moments following the Diego Sanchez (Pictures)-Luigi Fioravanti (Pictures) weigh-in.

"Nightmare" flexed his muscles and grimaced as if he were Jay Cutler on the Mr. Olympia stage and then robotically stepped off the scale and walked Terminator-like toward his opponent. Clinching his jaws and scowling as if Fioravanti had just shot him with a massive spitball, Sanchez stepped up into Luigi's face and stood about an inch from him.

Fioravanti was unfazed, though, and stared at Sanchez as if he knew the native of Albuquerque, N.M., was trying to psyche himself up. Once photos were snapped of the two, Sanchez dropped his guard, tucked away his nightmarish mask and stepped down off the dais.

Lineup:

Kendall Grove (Pictures) (186) vs. Evan Tanner (Pictures) (186)
Diego Sanchez (Pictures) (170) vs. Luigi Fioravanti (Pictures) (171)
CB Dollaway (185) vs. Amir Sadollah (185)
Jeremy Horn (Pictures) (186) vs. Dean Lister (Pictures) (185)
Josh Burkman (Pictures) (170) vs. Dustin Hazelett (Pictures) (170)
Marvin Eastman (Pictures) (186) vs. Andrew McFedries (185)
Rob Kimmons (Pictures) (185) vs. Rob Yundt (Pictures) (185)
Cale Yarbrough (186) vs. Tim Credeur (185)
Jeremy Stephens (Pictures) (155) vs. Spencer Fisher (Pictures) (156)
Dante Rivera (Pictures) (185) vs. Matt Riddle (185)
Matt Arroyo (170) vs. Matt Brown (170)
