The third season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) went out with a bang last night.

Not to mention a lot of blood.

In the light heavyweight division, Michael Bisping destroyed Josh Haynes. The middleweight fight between Kendall Grove and Ed Herman was an absolute war, but all three judges scored the bout in favor of the rising Team Punishment star Kendall.

The fight was so good, Dana White also awarded Ed a six-figure UFC contract.

Here are the results of the other bouts:

--Kenny Florian defeated Sam Stout via submission.
--Keith Jardine defeated Wilson Gouveia via decision.
--Mike Nickels defeated Wes Combs via submission.
--Matt Hamill defeated Jesse Forbes via referee stoppage.
--Luigi Fioravanti defeated Solomon Hutcherson via knockout.
--Kalib Starnes defeated Danny Abbadi via submission.
--Rory Singer defeated Ross Pointon via submission.

The TUF 3 finale definitely lived up to all the hype. Now we can look forward to Ultimate Fight Night LIVE this Wednesday, June 28. There are some big names on that card, and we can only hope that the event can somehow match yesterday's excitement.

The bar was set pretty high.
