In this episode of “The Ultimate Fighter,” teammates Kurt Holobaugh and Jason Knight will go to war to determine who will fight another teammate, Austin Hubbard, in the lightweight finale.
Both fighters come out swinging, as they both land heavy shots in the very opening of the first round. They continue to trade shots throughout the round, but Holobaugh gets the upper hand landing haymakers with less than three minutes left in the round.
Jason Knight responds with some haymakers of his own, with two minutes left on the clock. With over a minute to go, Holobaugh continues to land heavy combinations to Knight. With 30 seconds left in the first round, Jason Knight dances around his opponent, dodging combination after combination. The horn sounds, and both fighters go back to their corners.
The second round begins with Knight leaning on the cage, playing defense, with Holobaugh continuing to land heavy left hands to Knight. Heavy hands from Holobaugh connect, one after another, combination after combination. With over three minutes left, Knight begins landing some kicks to the body.
Holobaugh just continues to bring the pressure to Knight, bringing him to the cage, and unloading more heavy combinations. You can hear the smacks of the gloves as Holobaugh lands a heavy left hand that drops Knight. The referee determines that Jason Knight cannot defend himself, and Holobaugh gains top position, landing combinations. The referee stops the fight.
Kurt Holobaugh wins by TKO at 3:57 into Round 2 and will take on Austin Hubbard in the lightweight finale.
