The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale Results: Frankie Edgar Vs. Chad Mendes, Crazy Co-Main Event, More

The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale was the mid-way point in UFC's huge fight week. With a main event featuring big name featherweights Chad Mendes and Frankie Edgar, the show's top bout was one of the most underrated of the week by casual fans.

For all the excitement, we saw a highlight reel knockout, as Frankie Edgar obliterated Chad Mendes with an insane combination. Those who doubted that Frankie Edgar was still in his prime were quickly silenced. A fight that many expected to go the full five rounds ended explosively in under one.

Tony Ferguson and Edson Barboza squared off in the night's co-main event, which was one of the evening's most highly anticipated fights. Ferguson was penalized a point for delivering an illegal kick to a downed opponent after diving for a kneebar. After the kick, Big John McCarthy oddly exclaimed that Barboza "wasn't hurt" although he very clearly was. This fight lived up to the hype, with an absolutely guano crazy round one.

Round two was much of the same, with each man throwing everything from spinning kicks to knee dives at each other. Midway through the second round, Tony Ferguson pulled a beautiful d'arce choke out of his arsenal, submitting the crimson mask wearing Barboza.
