Middleweight “Cacharrao” Ricardo Almeida (10-3) won a unanimous decision over The Ultimate Fighter 3 champ “Spyder” Kendall Grove (10-5) by scores of 30-27 times three at UFC 101 in Philadelphia Saturday night.

Almeida overpowered the Hawai’ian in the clinch and scored takedowns at will, including a big slam. But, Grove fed Almeida knees in the clinch and a head-snapping uppercut as Almeida shot in the second round.

Grove nearly finished “Cacharrao” in round two, fully extending an armbar before Almedia rolled free.

Three TUF champions highlighted the action in Las Vegas Saturday night: the original, the past, and the future.

The future shines brilliantly for The Ultimate Fighter’s newest blast into the mainstream consciousness, Amir Sadollah (1-0).

In his professional debut, Sadollah tapped “Doberman” CB Dollaway (6-1) in an armbar at 3:02 of round one to win the seventh season of the popular SpikeTV reality show contest.

“Nightmare” Diego Sanchez (19-2), one of the two original Ultimate Fighters, looked physically fitter than ever in his third-round TKO of American Top Team’s Luigi Fioravanti (12-4) at 4:07.

After back-to-back “embarrasing” losses, “Spyder” Kendall Grove (9-5), TUF 3 champion, recaptured past glory in a three-round split decision over former UFC titlist Evan Tanner (32-8).

The likeable young TUF walk-on from Virginia, Sadollah, versus the cocky All-American favorite, Dollaway, was a rematch of an exhibition fight fought on the final episode of last season’s The Ultimate Fighter.

Saturday’s finish was almost a replay of that fight’s end.

Fighters.com’s second-ranked heavyweight,current UFC co-Heavyweight Champion, and UFC Hall of Famer “The Natural” Randy Couture(16-8) spoke exclusively with Fighters.com from his Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas Monday afternoon.

Couture graciously confronted and answered questions about his beef with the Zuffa, LLC and UFC President Dana White and third-ranked “Maine-iac” Tim Sylvia’s (24-4) and his own prospective fight with sixth-ranked “Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko (27-1), shared opinions about fifth-ranked welterweight Matt Hughes (42-7), “Kimbo Slice” Kevin Ferguson (3-0), and Brock Lesnar (1-1), and made picks on future fights.

Fighters.com: You’ve said you’ve accepted that you might get a bad court ruling and not fight again. Have you lost some competitiveness from being inactive for so long?

The Natural: I still want to compete. I’m still in training as much as I can be with all this other stuff going on. I still seem to be able to hold my own, even with the lack of serious, hardcore training, with all the top guys that I have in the gym. I’m having fun being in the gym learning new tools, new skills and being there with a lot of the other guys that have been there for me, so I’m not too worried about that. The courts are going to do what the courts are going to do. We’ll deal with it when it comes in.

Fighters.com: Not many fighters have wives who also train. Does that give you both a different perspective and more understanding?

The UFC has officially announed the finale of The Ultimate Fighter 7 to be held 21 June live from The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

As reported by Fighters.com, the card’s main event will feature former UFC Middleweight Champion Evan Tanner (32-7), coming off of a knockout loss to Fighters.com’s fifth-ranked middleweight “Thunder” Yushin Okami (22-4).  He’s matched versus TUF 3 champion “Spyder” Kendall Grove (8-5).

The co-main event pits Fighters.com’s eighth-ranked welterweight and TUF 1 champion “Nightmare” Diego Sanchez (18-2) versus American Top Team’s Luigi Fioravanti (12-3).

The event will also feature the final bout in the middleweight tournament on the current season of The Ultimate Fighter.

TUF 3 Champion “Spider” Kendall Grove (8-5) has posted at his website that he’ll fight former UFC Middleweight Champion Evan Tanner (32-7) in Las Vegas 21 June on the finale of the current TUF season.

The match-up has not been confirmed by the UFC.

Both fighters are coming off disappointing losses.

After a two year hiatus from professional MMA battling alcoholism, Tanner returned to the Octagon last March to be knocked cold by top middleweight “Thunder” Yushin Okami (22-4).

Grove has posted a 2-2 record since winning season three’s TUF Championship over “Short Fuse” Ed Herman (14-5).

In January, “Spider” was squashed by “El Conquistador” Jorge Rivera (15-6) in a first-round knock out.

 UFC “Beastman” Marvin Eastman (15-7-1) has let his cat out of the bag too, posting on his MySpace blog that he’ll follow-up February’s unanimous decision over Terry Martin (16-4) with a match-up against Andrew McFedries (6-3) 21 June.

McFedries was TKO’d by “The Predator” Patrick Cote (12-4) in January.

The fight will conclude Eastman’s contractual obligation to the UFC.
