It was a great round for Slice, who was trying to prove himself against the best competition of his career.

Matt Veach suffered his first career loss at the hands of Frankie Edgar in the second fight of the main card of The Ultimate Fighter Finale. Veach came out strong, scoring with some big slams in the first round and even landing some solid punches standing. Late in the first it became clear that Matt was tiring and Frankie started to score with punches standing.In the second round Veach was never able to get on track as Edgar was much too quick standing. A short right hand wobbled Veach’s legs and Frankie followed him to the ground, unleashing some brutal ground and pound. Finally, Matt had no choice but to give up his back allowing Edgar to sink in the rear naked choke for a submission victory.

In the main card opener Matt Mitrione took on Marcus Jones in a clash of former

players. While Jones won the first round on the SBNation.com card his ultra-amateurish striking skills were leaving holes for Mitrione. Jones managed multiple takedowns but was never able to secure a submission. The round ended with Jones on top looking for an armlock.Quickly in the second round Mitrione was able to land a big right hand that put Jones out. A few more punches for emphasis and the ref had to jump in and save Marcus from any further punishment. The crowd had nothing but boos for the winner, who had filled a “bad guy” role on The Ultimate Fighter TV show.
