WRAP UP:
This season had a vast array of talent in the bantamweight and featherweight division. Future Bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw came up a bit short to winner John Dodson who would go on to fight Demetrius Johnson for the flyweight title twice. Dennis Bermudez and Diego Brandao both went on to very successful UFC Careers. Ironically two contestants (Brandoa and Brimage) would be the first two opponents of Conor McGregor. The finale not only featured the two winners crowned by also season 13 winner Tony Ferguson defeating longtime contender Yves Edwards. It was also one of the few occasions that the two coaches headlined the finale by competing against each other w/ Bisping defeating Mayhem Miller. Aside from the finale the season saw many heated moments between the two coaches as both men have extremely strong personalities that do not take kind to being challenged. Also in the Finale Diego Brandao won two bonus’s w/ Fight of the Night & Sub of the night.
