Veteran Austin Hubbard is the first lightweight finalist set to fight for The Ultimate Fighter title after defeating his teammate Roosevelt Roberts by split decision
Hubbard: “This opportunity came up and I knew I was going to come and make the best of it. I am going to the finale, and I feel great. I’ve been away from my family for seven, eight weeks and this is a big sacrifice, but it’s a big reward.”
Roberts: “I told myself I wasn’t going to be friendly…I was coming out here for a goal and I came in here and I lost sight of that…I lost to somebody that I respect, but you know what? I’m going to keep my head up high. I’m going to push forward and just keep going.”
