TUF 9 Finale: Jason Dent vs Cameron Dollar planned for June 20

by Jesse Holland on Jun 12, 2009 9:56 PM EDT

The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 9 semifinalists Jason Dent and Cameron Dollar have agreed to throw hands at the TUF 9 Finale from "The Pearl" at the Palms Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 20, according to an interview on MMA Torch.

Dent (18-9) and Dollar (2-1) were teammates under Coach Dan Henderson as part of the US Team that went head-to-head with Coach Michael Bisping and his British squad.

Like most of Team US, Dent and Dollar spent a majority of their time bickering at each other, which in their defense has a tendency to happen after being locked in a house with a bunch of other guys for weeks on end.

Dent is perhaps best known for sending Rob Browning -- the foul-mouthed kid brother of TUF 8's Junie Browning -- back to the trailer park with an ass-kicking to close out Episode three.

"Dynamite" actually has two prior appearances in the UFC. The first was a unanimous decision loss to Roger Huerta at UFC 63 followed by a unanimous decision loss to Gleison Tibau at UFC 68.

That experience likely helped Dent make it to the TUF 9 semifinals where he was outpointed by Ross Pearson in Episode 11.

Like Dent, Dollar was also bounced out of the semifinals when he was submitted by Andre Winner via triangle choke. Dollar first made a name for himself in Episode two after taking a beating from Tom Hayden -- only to miraculously escape his precarious situation and submit Hayden via rear naked choke.

Dollar spent the rest of his time in the house butting heads with Dent over well, just about everything. They'll finally have their chance to settle the score next Saturday (June 20).

TUF 9 Finale features a lightweight match between Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida, as well as a co main event that pits and Joe Stevenson against Nate Diaz in another fantastic 155-pound showdown.

Naturally, the Spike TV special will also host the lightweight and welterweight finales for the ninth season of TUF, which is currently in progress. Andre Winner and Ross Pearson are set to face off for 155-pound supremacy while welterweight Damarques Johnson waits for his opponent to be announced at the conclusion of TUF on June 17.

I thought I saw Dent before. Now I know why. No shame losing a UD against both those guys (Huerta and Tibau). He’s a tenacious bastard.

I think Dent’s ok….he should probably get a spot on the UFC roster, but Cameron has got to GO!!! Dude is garbage! Mentally, he is a mess~

Those two fights alone are what led me to think Dent would win the show. But he said it best himself: if its a decision then he loses.

Dent will submit Cam, but I think Cam may get another fighter after this.

yeah totally when i saw him on the show i thought he would just blast through every1. i thought if u had more than 2 fights in the ufc u couldn’t compete for TUF, am sure that was the situation for clay guida

Speaking of that Rob Browning — what a complete LOSER. Dana seems to like those two brothers. They’re pathetic. He talked ALL this crap, got in Pierce’s face and couldn’t back any of it up. He’s total junk.

If Dent puts himself out there and does not play the point game the match is his to win.

i don’t see dent losing this one
i am not surprised these two are fighting each other

Best thing about this fight is that it gives me time to grab a beer and take a shat between the good fights. Neither guy will last in the UFC.

Battle of the losers. They both look very unskilled to me.

I think Dollar has a career ahead of him. He seems easy to train, just needs his head in the game. Since he’s got a much longer amount of time to train for the TUF finale than for the fights on the show, he should prove himself to be a much better fighter. I think Dollar has some decent skills. Dent on the other hand is worthless on his back from what we’ve seen and seems very difficult to train.
Predictions: tough fought but Dollar by submission.
