Posted on June 4, 2011, 11:32 PM by Joey Santosus
The TUF 13 Finale delivered an exciting night of fights tonight from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tony Ferguson of Team Lesnar secured a six-figure contract with the UFC after scoring a first-round knockout victory over Ramsey Nijem in the headlining bout to become the latest "Ultimate Fighter." In the co-main event, Lightweight veteran Clay Guida outworked WEC stand-out Anthony Pettis to pick-up a lopsided unanimous decision, while Ed Herman returned in style with an opening round stoppage win over Tim Credeur. Kyle Kingsbury took a close contested decision victory over Fabio Maldonado and TUF 13 semifinalist Chris Cope got the nod on the scorecards over Chuck O'Neil.
The UFC awarded generous $40,000 bonuses to the night's top performers, who were announced immediately following the event.

I wasnt suprised to see tony ferguson win, and i still dislike that punk.
erm...get ova it?
Why did Chris Cope go on about nothing for 5 minutes?
good fight
Scott Jorgensen's KO within Stone's guard was much more worthy of KOTN, surely how many times are you gonna see that type of KO again?
Kinda sucks that Jorgensen was coming off a hard title shot loss and was bumped down to the Prelims. Tough sport.
i was very impressed with fabio even though he lost. he looked like he has very good boxing and even though hes chunky looks like he has a good gas tank
Yeah any fight that gets FOTN always does some good for the loser. I liked the way Fabio kept the pressure on and brought it back somewhat in the 3rd round.
He looks like he could possibly cut to middleweight though.
It's a good thing Jonathan brookins didn't fight Jeremy stephens.it would of been a bad day for brookin.
