Nate Diaz

By FCF Staff

Here are the results from tonight’s TUF 18 Finale card in Las Vegas, Nevada, which saw Nate Diaz quickly put away Gray Maynard to take their rubber match series.

Not long into the lightweight bout, Diaz stunned Maynard with a short, hard left, and the latter was unable to recover from the prolonged onslaught of punches that followed.

Although Maynard remained on his feet as Diaz poured on the strikes, the decorated wrestler was clearly out of the contest and the bout was stopped.

And in the bantamweight finals for the 18th season of “The Ultimate Fighter”, Julianna Pena stopped Jessica Rakoczy with an extended ground-and-pound assault, and Chris Holdsworth tapped out Davey Grant with a second round, rear-naked-choke.

The card was hosted by the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
