The final episode of The Ultimate Fighter 9 "US vs. UK" gets underway with a Team US barbecue where Frank Lester promises to show version 2.0 of himself in his final elimination fight against James Wilks. Team UK on the other hand talks fight strategy inside a walk-in closet.

The Brits hit the gym and Wilks expects to beat Lester since he's already done it once this season. Coach Bisping is all about the submission in this fight. Lester and Wilks exchange pleasantries when Team US gets to the gym.

Hendo thinks Lester is more confident and more comfortable inside the cage and has a decent shot at taking it. Wilks and Lester continue their buddy-buddy relationship back at the house. The next day both fighters make weight without incident.

After Bisping sets sail Andre Winner starts spitting his food out and lo and behold we have a British food fight on our hands. It ends with Andre Winner getting baptized in the pool and then covered in flour.

Inside the house Lester gets all teary-eyed over his opportunity and DaMarques Johnson swoops in to pump him back up (figuratively).

It's fight day and Coach Henderson tells Lester "Let's get this bastard back for knocking out your teeth."

After the fight Team US is perturbed that Wilks was being flashy inside the cage with some unnecessary body language. Lester breaks down in the locker room but doesn't lose any respect from his team since he was pretty much going on heart after fighting four times in one month.
