The Ultimate Fighter is reaching its finale, and Michael Johnson and Justin Gaethje are set to headline the card from Las Vegas. Gaethje is putting his 17-0 record on the line against Johnson as an underdog by a slim margin. Other major card events include Marc Diakiese vs. Drakkar Klose and Dhiego Lima vs. Jesse Taylor. Despite Gaethje's impressive record, Johnson is seen to have the edge in most major categories, but with 82 percent of Gaethje's fights ending in KO/TKOs, the hope is that he can end the fight quickly enough for fatigue to not be an issue. It will also be Gaethje's first fight in UFC after making the jump from the now defunct World Series of Fighting.

Diakiese is yet to lose a fight in the UFC circuit, whereas Klose has had only one fight with UFC, a win by unanimous decision back in January. Diakiese is a heavy favorite in his fight. As for the main event matchup, this will not be Johnson's first time reaching The Ultimate Fighter finale. Back in 2010, he made it to the final fight before losing by unanimous decision to Jonathan Brookins. Since then, he has struggled to find his footing, but is looking to get his balance back on Friday against the tenacious Gaethje.
