TUF Finale 25 video highlights: Jesse Taylor vs. Dhiego Lima

Jesse Taylor has the redemption he’s wanted for so long.

After being taken down and swarmed in the opening round, Dhiego Lima finally turned things around with a left hook that dropped Taylor at the start of the second.

Moments later, Taylor (31-15 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was back on top, taking Lima’s (12-6 MMA, 1-4 UFC) back and sinking in the rear-naked choke to force the submission just 43 seconds into Round 2, claiming “The Ultimate Fighter 25” tournament title worth nearly $300,000 in the end.

The welterweight bout co-headlined Friday’s UFC event, The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The “TUF 25” tournament final aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
