Pellegrino vs. Edgar for TUF 10 Finale

by Zak Woods on Sep 10, 2009 1:29 PM EDT

Kurt Pellegrino (14-4) will most likely face Frankie Edgar (10-1) at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale on December 5th.

Frankie Edgar recently defeated Sean Sherk at UFC 98. That victory put Edgar on the short list for possible lightweight contenders.

Kurt Pellegrino is riding a three fight win streak and recently defeated Josh Neer via unanimous decision at UFC 101.

It has yet to be announced who will headline the TUF 10 Finale. Pellegrino and Edgar join Jon Jones and Matt Hamill and with Edgar's possible position as title contender he could headline the card.

Same here, although I didn;t go to Clarion, I grew up near it. Still pulling for Edgar.

Man, Joe Silva’s on a roll! First Jones vs Hamill, then Davis vs Saunders and now Pellegrino vs Edgar! Great fights!

So Lemme Get This Straight...

Edgar goes from beating a former champion and putting himself in the title mix to fighting Pellegrino, who, despite his three-fight winning streak, is a clear mid-card guy who isn’t as talented as Sherk?

“Hi, I’m Frankie Edgar. Watch my showcase fight on the live finale of Season 10 of the Ultimate Fighter so you those of you who don’t know who I am won’t be confused when I fight the winner of the Penn – Sanchez bout.”

Shamelessly self-promoting since 1997...
