TUF 14 Finale Prediction Results

A great way to end what could potentially be called one of the best seasons of "The Ultimate Fighter". This season displayed some of the best fights we've seen in the reality series and I believe the fighters that earned contracts will continue to put on a good showing in the octagon. Onto the results.

The opening bout was between Bantamweight semi-finalist Johnny Bedford (Team Miller) and Bantamweight quarter-finalist Louis Gaudinot (Team Bisping). The majority of the fight was dominated by Bedford and in the third round Bedford dropped Gaudinot, finishing him with vicious knees to the body and strikes. The second fight of the card was between TUF 13 winner Tony Ferguson and Yves Edwards. Ferguson ended up taking a close back and forth battle on the feet, getting the unanimous decision nod from the judges. 

Bantamweight finalists John Dodson (Team Miller) and T.J. Dillashaw (Team Bisping) squared off in a fairly short battle. The fight was fairly even until Dodson rocked Dillashaw with a hook and jumped on him for the finish., becoming the TUF 14 BW winner. Many will argue that the stoppage was premature, and I can definitely see why, but I couldn't give 2 shits because I still believe Dodson's the better fighter of the two. 

Featherweight finalists Diego Brandao (Team Bisping) and Dennis Bermudez (Team Miller) fought a one round fight that, in my opinion, was the best round of the year, and one of the best fights of the year. In the first (and only) round, Brandao quickly rocked Bermudez, but the "Menace" was back to his feet quickly. Bermudez then responded at the end of the round with a brutal straight right that sent Brandao crashing down. Bermudez attempted to finish the fight, but Brandao caught him with a beautiful armbar, becoming the TUF 14 FW winner. Coming from somebody that as a little bit of BJJ training, that armbar was absolutely perfectly executed. Dennis was tapping before he even rolled over. Check it out (hopefully this video doesn't get removed, I'll put another in the comments):

The coaches Michael Bisping and Jason Miller squared off in a long awaited match-up in the main event. The first round went to Mayhem in my opinion, with him hitting Bisping with some power shots and landing a nice takedown. The second and third round were pure domination on Bisping's part though. In those rounds, it looked as if Mayhem gassed out or had a complete adrenaline dump. With his technical superiority, Bisping completely outstruck Miller en route to a third round TKO, finally "squashing the beef".
