TUF 27 Finale results: Mike Trizano edges Joe Giannetti to win lightweight tournament

Mike Trizano appeared ready to do work in the final round of The Ultimate Fighter 27 lightweight final. Joe Giannetti didn’t, and put on a bizarre display over the fight’s final five minutes.

And that made the difference on Friday night at the Pearl Theatre in Las Vegas. Trizano took a split decision in a bizarre bout and won a split decision, taking the better side of two out of three 29-28 scores, to win the tournament and UFC contract at The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale.

Giannetti, a Team Cormier fighter out of Boston’s south suburbs, had his best round in the first.
