WRAP UP:
This season was special in that it was a Live show so the fights were in real time each week. The winner of the Season Michael Chiesa would go on to a very successful career and currently ranked in the top ten of the welterweight division. The finale saw champs and title contenders such as Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira in action as well as numerous fighters from the cast of the show. Justin Lawrence managed to win 2 bonus’s w/ Fight of the Night and KO of The Night. For the most part the coaches were relatively respectful towards each other.
