Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar put a stamp on his quest or another featherweight title shot by destroying Chad Mendes in the main event of tonight’s (Fri., December 11, 2015) The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 from The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For his efforts, ‘The Answer’ not surprisingly earned $50,000 for the card’s first “Performance of the Night” bonus.

The second “Performance of the Night” bonus went to Tony Ferguson for his amazing D’arce choke win over Edson Barboza in their bloody co-main event war where both fighters absorbed serious damage.

Ferguson also got the coveted double bonus when his slugfest with Barboza deservedly earned “Fight of the Night” as well.
