“Darth” Ryan Bader (6-0) defeated Vinicius Magalhaes (3-4) via TKO stoppage during the Ultimate Fighter Season 8 Finale in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The win by Bader earned the former Arizona wrestler the crown of Ultimate Fighter in the light heavyweight division for Season 8.

The main event fight started out Magalhaes throwing kicks from range. Bader took a couple of hard kicks before landing a right hand haymaker that sent Magalhaes into trouble. Bader quickly stood over Magalhaes raining down fists cuing referee Herb Dean to step in and stop the assault.

Ryan Bader officially won via TKO stoppage due to strikes at the 2:18 mark of round one.

    No offense but I think Bader is going to get killed if he steps up to fight any top guys in the UFC right now. He’s two or three years away from being ready for such competition at minimum.
