Here are the results from tonight’s TUF 20 Finale, which saw Carla Esparza become the first UFC strawweight champ, by submitting Rose Namajunas.

Early on, Namajunas threatened with a wide array of strikes, but eventually Esparza was able to counter with her wrestling game and a finishing, rear-naked-choke.

In the co-headliner, Charles Oliveira worked his way to a unanimous decision win over fellow, featherweight contender, Jeremy Stephens.

The card was hosted by the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
