Anthony Pettis against Gilbert Melendez, women's strawweight.
The winner received the inaugural UFC Women's Strawweight Championship rather than only a contract.
The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned Finale2014-12-12Read from our own event records. The card’s bouts are not restated here — there is one copy of every professional result and it lives on the event page.
Contestants link to their canonical profile where one exists. A name that does not link never fought under our records — it is not a second profile.
1 professional · 14 exhibition or unverified. House bouts are unsanctioned and are excluded from professional records and every professional stat aggregate.
A seeded sixteen-woman bracket, unusual for the show. Seeds are given by the source and recorded.
team_rosters — Tecia Torres is listed on both team rosters by the source. She lost in the first round, was given a second chance, and moved to Team Pettis — so both listings are describing different points in the season rather than contradicting each other. Recorded once per team with the move noted, rather than silently deduplicated.
replacement_contestant — The source names Seohee Ham as a replacement fighter and explicitly does not state her seeding or which bouts she contested. Recorded as a roster entry with no bracket placement rather than inserted into a round.
Season data from the season record, retrieved 2026-09-07. The final is verified against our own ufc_bouts / ufc_bout_results row. That card loaded during backfill window B-2014 before the window failed, so eleven of its bouts exist; nothing here is imported.
Contested for the inaugural UFC Women's Strawweight Championship rather than for a contract — the only kind of TUF final that ends with a belt.
