Oxygen4Energy.com Sponsored Athlete, James "Lightning" Wilks, makes it to the finals of The Ultimate Fighter Season 9!
June 18th, 2009
Last night, MMA fighter and Oxygen4Energy sponsored athlete, James Wilks, defeated Frank Lester for the final spot in The Ultimate Fighter finale. As the winner of the fight, Wilks will face Demarcus Johnson on Saturday, June 20th for a Six-figure UFC contract.
Lester was thought to be the tougher of the two fighters and the heavier hitter. However, throughout most of the fight, Wilks kept Lester at bay with his quick jab, reach advantage and accurate striking. Although Wilks is known as a submission fighter, Lester's take down defense was good throughout the fight and the two fighters never went to the ground.
In the third and final round, Lester started to tire and Wilks' strikes started to cause more damage. The end came when Wilks landed a knee that knocked Lester to the ground. At that point, Wilks proceeded to rain down blows until the fight was stopped.
Congratulations James! Way to make us proud!
