LAS VEGAS – Daron Cruickshank found himself in a little bit of early trouble, but it was smooth sailing after he fought out of it. Well, mostly.
Cruickshank survived an early guillotine-choke attempt from Chris Tickle, and his takedowns and control on the ground led him to a unanimous-decision victory.
The lightweight bout between the two castmates took place at The Ultimate Fighter Live Finale at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. It aired on the preliminary card on FUEL TV prior to the FX-televised main card.
