Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returned to Spike TV last Saturday night (June 4, 2011) for its Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 live finale, featuring Anthony Ferguson's knockout win over Ramsey Nijem to capture the "six-figure contract" and TUF bragging rights.
But that's not all.
Former WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis got stifled for three rounds by the wrestling attack of Clay Guida, while Ed Herman returned from an extended layoff to institutionalize "Crazy" Tim Credeur in the first round of their middleweight mash up.
Fellow TUF veterans Kyle Kingsbury and Chris Cope also notched wins in their respective bouts.
