Ross Pearson and Andre Winner have trained together, lived together, and now they'll fight each other. But who will win?
To watch the TUF 9 Finale live on Setanta Sports, which is headlined by Diego Sanchez v Clay Guida, click here.
The two lightweight appear to be massively evenly-matched, Pearson bringing intensity and wrestling power, Winner boasting the superior striking and BJJ.
There was only one way to preview the final, so setanta.com headed to the Team Rough House gym to speak to two men who know them better than anyone.
Nick Ozipczak, who also fights on the same card, and Dean Amasinger predict the winner of that £100,000 contract and a place in the UFC lightweight division.
THE VIEW ON ROSS PEARSON
Dean Amasinger:
“It’s funny how many people describe Ross as a pitbull. You see him train, you see his stature, he’s just relentless.
“We did pressure drills inside the TUF house where you have five different guys on you every minute, and he was coming out fresh as a daisy.
“Cardio-wise he is a machine and he takes training so seriously, he never shies away from anything.
“He is one intense guy. If it goes to a decision Ross will take it because of his intensity.”
Nick Ozipczak:
“They’ve both got a lot of strength. They’re both great fighters.
“Ross is just a natural born fighter. He will have the edge on the mat, although Dre will probably be powerful enough to pop straight back to his feet.
“Ross likes to go for that double-leg takedown which I think will come into play.”
THE VIEW ON ANDRE WINNER
Nick Ozipczak:
“Dre is really athletic, really quick hands, he’s explosive, strong and I think Andre will take the fight.
“I just think he’s slightly more dangerous than Ross, slightly more powerful than him and slightly more explosive than him.
“Training with him, he’s just a general bad man and it’s hard to imagine him losing to anyone. It’s mostly welterweights at Team Rough House and Dre copes well with us all. It’s hard to imagine him losing to a lightweight.
“I believe Dre will stop him in the third round with strikes.”
Dean Amasinger:
"I think Dre has the edge. Striking-wise Dre is more technical, although Ross has the better wrestling. Ross maybe hits harder too but Dre is definitely the better technical striker.
“In the clinch Dre has really good knees, he’s got excellent Jiu Jitsu, so if you did a tally of who has the better attributes I think Dre comes out on top.
“Dre’s takedown defence is amazing and I think he might stop it due to his striking. His striking was the best in the house.”
THE VIEW ON BOTH MEN
Nick Ozipczak:
“They’ve both got what it takes to go all the way in The UFC and they’ll be around for years to come.”
