Ramsey Nijem of Pit Elevated fight team is featured in The Ultimate Fighter Finale

Ramsey Nijem followed in his teammate’s footsteps all the way to the finals! Nijem’s teammate and training partner Court McGee reached the finals one year previously and went on to become the season 11 Champion. Nijem was considered by many to be the favorite going into the finals.

Nijem was aggressive in the finale but came up short against his opponent Tony Ferguson. Nijem had a good showing throughout the season and was the crazy wild one in the house. Although Nijem is not guaranteed a UFC contract there are many that will be looking to see him soon in the UFC.
