TUF 13 Finale weigh-in: Nijem not impressed by Ferguson

Another six-figure UFC contract will be snatched in less than eight hours. Anthony Pettis also has a UFC lightweight title shot on the line. Needless to say, there's a little pressure on several of the participants on tonight's Season 13 "Ultimate Fighter Finale."

Ramsey Nijem is one of the guys under the gun as he faces Tony Ferguson to close out the UFC's reality series. He was joker on the show and was in a similar mood all week. RawVegas caught up with Nijem, who joked around until we asked him if he impressed was by Ferguson (4:00 mark).

All 22 competitors were on the mark during the weigh-in at the Palms in Las Vegas. Clay Harvison's animal head/pelt was impressive, but couldn't match Danny Downes' good luck potato. The lightweight, facing Jeremy Stephens, pulled a potato from his trunks and tossed it into the crowd.
