This week caps off the UFC’s flyweight tournament for season 24 of The Ultimate Fighter. The winner of this sixteen-man field, which consists entirely of champions from regional promotions around the world, will face #1 P4P ranked Demetrious Johnson in this weekend’s main event.
This Wednesday’s episode will be the TUF 24 tournament final, with pre-tournament favorite Tim Elliott facing off against Japan’s Hiromasa Ogikubo. Well I suppose if you flipped ahead in the TV Guide on DirecTV or AT&T, you needn’t bother finding out who won Elliott-Ogikubo, because they already spoiled the result. Here are a couple of tweets that were sent out recently, including one from veteran MMA official Rob Hinds. This is probably a good time for you to exit this article if you don’t want to be spoiler’d.

@davidbix AT&T. They list the prelims and main card as TBA, but the Weigh In and Pre-Fight show listing gave it away.
