In one of the strangest finishes you’ll see in MMA, Jorge Masvidal beat Jake Ellenberger with a little help from the fence.
Masvidal (31-11 MMA, 8-4 UFC) got a TKO win over Ellenberger (31-12 MMA, 10-8 UFC) at Saturday’s TUF 24 Finale after Ellenberger’s left foot got caught between the canvas and fence. When referee Herb Dean stopped the fight, he thought he’d be able to restart it. But upon asking advice cageside, he learned he had to end the bout – giving a TKO to Masivdal, and a near certainty that Elleberger will appeal the decision.
The TUF 24 Finale took place at The Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The card aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
