BOSTON – Kurt Holobaugh’s road to an “Ultimate Fighter” championship might be the most unique in the show’s history.
Holobaugh (20-7 MMA, 1-4 UFC) submitted Austin Hubbard (15-7 MMA, 3-5 UFC) in the second round of their lightweight tournament final for Season 31 of “The Ultimate Fighter” on Saturday at UFC 292 at TD Garden in Boston. But unlike the majority of past “TUF” winners, Holobaugh already has big-show experience in the UFC.
Holobaugh had one fight for Strikeforce in 2012, and when the UFC absorbed that promotion, Holobaugh came with it. He had a UFC fight in 2013, but a loss to Steven Siler had him outside the company trying to work his way back.
