In the first fight on the main card of The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale, bantamweights Johnny Bedford and Louis Gaudinot clashed in a lopsided match up.
Gaudinot is a Ring of Combat flyweight champion and ranked in the top ten at 125-pounds, but the disadvantage of his 5’3″ frame was glaring against the Bedford, a lanky, 5’10” fighter. Bedford dominated the first two rounds, taking Gaudinot down at will and climbing into a devastating high mount to pelt with unending strikes.
After two commanding rounds, Bedford dropped Gaudinot with a knee in the third and mercilessly punished the turtled fighter with brutal knees and kicks to the body to force the stoppage. Johhny Bedford wins his UFC debut with a third round TKO over Louis Gaudinot.
Bedord advances to eighteen wins, nine losses and one draw with the impressive performance. The loss was only the second of Gaudinot’s eight fight career.
