Historic UFC Records Set
Promotional Records Established at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale
Tony Ferguson knocked out Ramsey Nijem in round 1 to secure the TUF 13 welterweight trophy, commencing an iconic UFC tenure that culminated in an interim lightweight championship and a historic 12-fight win streak.
Clay Guida produced a signature upset by dominating final WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis with five takedowns, halting Pettis’ direct path to an immediate UFC title unification bout.
Kyle Kingsbury and Fabio Maldonado exchanged 173 combined significant strikes across 15 relentless minutes, claiming consensus Fight of the Night honors.
Despite suffering a fractured orbital bone early against Maldonado’s pinpoint boxing, Kingsbury persevered to sweep all three judges’ scorecards (29-28 x3).
Returning after a 21-month layoff caused by major knee surgery, Ed Herman blitzed Tim Credeur to score a sensational 48-second first-round stoppage.
George Roop cashed as a +335 betting underdog by landing a devastating liver shot to finish former consensus top contender Josh Grispi in round 3.
Scott Jorgensen scored one of the rarest finishes in bantamweight history, rendering Ken Stone unconscious with hammerfists directly from inside Stone’s closed guard.
The TUF 13 Finale marked one of the UFC’s first cards to broadcast all six preliminary bouts live globally via Facebook streaming.
Reuben Duran earned the sole submission victory across the entire 11-bout event, catching Francisco Rivera in a third-round rear-naked choke to win Submission of the Night.
Eight fighters from Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos competed on the card: Ferguson, Nijem, Cope, O’Neil, Bailey, McGillivray, Harvison, and Edwards.
Jeremy Stephens showcased his wrestling arsenal against late-replacement Danny Downes, completing 6 takedowns and dominating from top position for a pair of 30-26 scorecards.
