The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale Odds

The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on June 23, 2007. Featured were the finals from The Ultimate Fighter 5 in the Lightweight division as well as a main event between B.J. Penn and Jens Pulver.

It has taken over five years, but on Saturday, June 23 at 9:00pm BJ Penn finally gets his rematch. The Ultimate Fighter 5 coaches and former UFC champions, Penn (10-3-1) and Jens Pulver (21-6-1) step back into the Octagon together for a rematch nearly a half a decade in the making at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV.

When former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver def the seemingly invincible BJ Penn in 2002, at UFC 35, he shocked the world and proved that when it comes to the Octagon, nothing is impossible. Since then, Penn has plotted his revenge and BJ Penn has been dying for this rematch and he claims that Pulver has been ducking him all this time.

It sounds like BJ is most bitter from the defeat. But on Saturday, June 23rd, these two 155-pound pioneers - who matched wits for six weeks as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 - square off in a rematch five years in the making and finally get the chance to settle their score with their fists when they battle in the main event on The Ultimate Fighting Championship organization and Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter 5 Season finale live from The Pearl at The Palms in Las Vegas.
