The Hulk & Killer Gorilla Capture FOTN Honors
UFC TUF 24 finale was a surprising card, one that flew under the radar but if fight fans tuned in they were witness to some interesting and exciting moments. The UFC awarded fight of the night $50,000 bonuses to Ion "Hulk"Cutelaba and Jared "Killer Gorilla" Cannonier. The introductions began with fireworks when Ion walked the length of the cage stood in front of Jared and signaled his thumb across his neck at Cannonier. The fight was a slugfest that shockingly went the distance, both fighters were throwing bombs looking for the finish. Cannonier finished the fresher fighter and was literally walking down Ion with his hands down eating punches that seemed to have no affect.
Sara McMann was awarded performance of the night honors when she defeated Alexis Davis by second-round submission (Head and Arm Triangle). McMann is now $50,000 richer along with Anthony Smith. Smith survived scary early moments in his fight against Elvis Mutapcic but was able to get a come from behind stoppage in the second round.
