The finals of the 27th Ultimate Fighter took place on July 6th coming from The Pearl Theater in Paradise, Nevada. In the night's Main Event, Israel Adesanya scored the biggest win of his career taking a unanimous decision from Brad Tavares. The bout was set to be the biggest test for the undefeated Adesanya and he passed the test using his often unique and aggressive striking to keep Tavares at bay for the most part. Tavares for his part, put forth a gutsy performance and survived despite a bad cut and never quit trying. In women's action, Montana De La Rosa scored a late stoppage over Rachael Ostovich. The first two rounds saw De La Rosa being the more active striker, throwing and landing more shots than Ostovich. In round three, Ostovich tried to step it up and had De La Rosa in trouble looking for an armbar, but De La Rosa escaped and with just seconds remaining sunk in a choke for the win. Also, Roxanne Modafferi got a big win over Barb Honchak. Round one was pretty even with both having their moments, both landing good shots. Round two was all Modafferi as it went to the ground and Modafferi was able to transition to whatever position she seemed to want and finally the ref had to step in.
