On the Rise: TUF 27 Finale Edition

While the lion’s share of the attention during International Fight Week is going to be focused on UFC 226 and its twin championship fights, Friday’s Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale offers an intriguing assortment of contests featuring a host of fresh talents looking to make their mark on the UFC roster.

Headlined by clash between middleweight stalwart Brad Tavares and rising star Israel Adesanya, the card features a host of former TUF contestants and competitors from Season 1 of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contenders Series, as well as several members from this season’s crop of fighters that made up Team Miocic and Team Cormier.
