WRAP UP
Two guys who absolutely do not like each other coached 16 guys to earn a shot at Demetrius Johnson, a guy who beat both coaches rather easily. The coaches were highly entertaining but the show was about the fighters who all were champions from other organizations and wanted a shot at D.J. Guys like Brandon Moreno (Who went on to fight Deiveson Figuieredo for the title), Kai Kara-France, Matt Schnell and of course the man who won the show and gave DJ all he could handle in Tim Elliot. The two coaches settled their score at the finale also w/ Benavidez defeating Cejudo in a Split decision. Also on the finale we saw some future stars like Jorge Masvidal, Jarrod Cannonier, Rob Font and Anthony Smith.
