Compustrike: TUF 13 Finale by the numbers
Saturday’s TUF 13 Finale was truly a mixed bag of fights. From epic finishes to stand up battles and grappling clinics, the event had something for everybody. The co-main event between Anthony Pettis and Clay Guida was expected to be a battle for the ages. Both fighters with clashing styles going head to head for a chance at the Lightweight championship. If Anthony Pettis won that fight he would get the WEC / UFC unification bout he’s been waiting for. If Clay Guida wins he’ll finally get his shot after five years fighting in the promotion. With so much at stake and on the line that night, thanks to our friends from Compustrike we are able to take a deeper look at the numbers from the fight.
