On a night with a few worthy candidates, it was Jared Cannonier and Ion Cutelaba who walked away with “Fight of the Night” honors at "The Ultimate Fighter 24” finale.
Cannonier and Cutelaba received $50,000 apiece for a light heavyweight slugfest that saw both men have their moments at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. While Cutelaba worked the body and head effectively and landed a pair of takedowns in round one, he couldn’t maintain his pace throughout. Instead, it was Cannonier who turned it on over the final 10 minutes, landing powerful punching combinations to win a unanimous decision.
