In my UFC Fantisy Game - Picking the Winners post, I promised to share my picks for The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale. To get things rolling, lets take a look at the matchup between Rob Yundt and Rob Kimmons.

I was introduced to Rob Yundt at UFC 81 where he fought Ricardo Almeida. Coming into that fight, Yundt had a record of 7-0. He ended up losing the fight in the first round by a choke submission. I didn't learn much in that fight, but I assume he is a decent fighter based on him being in the UFC.

I know even less about Rob Kimmons. His profile on Sherdog shows a record of 20-3. I recognize a few of his past opponents. The only opponent to stand out is Marvin Eastman who defeated him via unanimous decision. Scanning his wins, I notice that he tends to win fights in the first round. These wins have come by submission, specifically chokes.

This is a difficult fight to call. I am going with Rob Kimmons based on his fight experience. I think he submits Yundt by rear-naked choke early in the first round.
