By now you probably know that this Saturday's TUF 6 final match has been set. Mac Danzig will face Tommy Speer for the crown and the guaranteed UFC contract.

Wednesday night's final TUF 6 episode offered viewers a nice respite from the usual TUF house hijinx since both semifinal matches aired on the same show. The only real controversy involved Danzig's original opponent, Matt Arroyo, who decided to pull out because of a cracked rib.

I've never suffered a rib injury, but from everything I've heard and read, it's extremely painful and very difficult to ignore. If Arroyo felt as discomforted as he says he did, I certainly can't blame him for making the right long-term choice. He had already earned a spot as one of the top four TUF contestants for the season and while a victory over Danzig would have been huge, the likelihood of that happening with the injury and without 100% confidence in himself would have been slim.

Richie Hightower continued through the end to make me wonder why he was even on the show. I don't know if he was a victim of selective Spike editing, but his image was battered by the narrative told throughout the season. The last episode was no exception. Presented with an opportunity to make a name for himself and step in for Arroyo, Hightower balked.

Hightower claimed that cutting weight was his main concern, but if he had prepared the entire six weeks as if a fight was always potentially around the corner (instead of taking upper deckers), he wouldn't have found himself in that position. It's also possible he wanted nothing to do with Danzig.

Either way, John Kolosci stepped in and at least tried his best. Kolosci, of course, ended up losing to Danzig for a second time by rear naked choke.

The other semifinal fight wasn't without a little controversy either. Tommy Speer caught George Sotiropoulos with a finger to his left eye. Soon after returning to action, Speer caught Sotiropoulos with a couple of right hands and the second one floored the Australian. Speer finished the job on the ground to earn the first-round TKO victory.

Speer's victory was an upset for sure. Did the eye poke affect the outcome? It's definitely possible -- after all, the punches that rocked Sotiropoulos came on his affected side. Still, Speer's strength can't be discounted and even before the eye poke, he was holding his own.

The final fight between Danzig and Speer should be a good one. It's power vs. skill and interestingly enough Team Hughes vs. Team Hughes. Unfortunately for Matt Serra, that means December will be a month to forget.
