Historic UFC Records Set
Promotional Records Established at The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale
The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale was the first finale in franchise history to crown tournament champions in the newly absorbed bantamweight and featherweight divisions.
Diego Brandao became one of the few fighters in TUF Finale history to secure two separate post-fight performance bonuses in a single night ($40,000 for FOTN and $40,000 for SOTN).
Future two-time undisputed UFC Bantamweight Champion T.J. Dillashaw made his official promotional debut in the bantamweight tournament final against John Dodson.
John Dodson earned the Knockout of the Night award by dispatching future champion T.J. Dillashaw in just 114 seconds, one of the fastest bantamweight tournament finals ever recorded.
After being knocked down and surviving heavy ground strikes from Dennis Bermudez, Diego Brandao locked up a walk-off armbar with just nine seconds remaining in round 1.
Michael Bisping delivered a signature striking clinic in the main event, landing 102 significant strikes out of 192 attempted before finishing Jason Miller via TKO in round 3.
Michael Bisping captured his 22nd career victory and 12th UFC triumph, capping off months of contentious banter by delivering Jason Miller’s first stoppage loss in over five years.
TUF 13 winner Tony Ferguson improved to 3-0 in the UFC by outpointing 65-fight veteran Yves Edwards via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28), outstriking him 61 to 45.
The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale produced 7 stoppage victories (4 TKOs and 3 Submissions) across 10 bouts, producing one of the most action-packed cards of 2011.
Roland Delorme secured one of the fastest third-round submission victories in bantamweight history, submitting Josh Ferguson with a rear-naked choke just 22 seconds into round 3.
All five preliminary fights were streamed live across the globe on Facebook, continuing the promotion’s rapid digital streaming expansion to millions of international fans.
The event generated a live gate of $453,200 with an attendance of 1,909 fans, maintaining the promotion’s historic venue partnership at the Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas.
