Even though Eddie Gordon needed just 71 seconds to capture “The Ultimate Fighter 19″ middleweight crown, some questions surrounded the validity of how he got the job done. In the midst of Gordon’s (7-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) fight-ending flurry against Dhiego Lima (9-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to earn the six-figure UFC contract inside Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center on Sunday night, it appeared some blows strayed into illegal territory. Gordon threw clubbing shots as he worked to earn the first-round stoppage. Replays showed a pair of strikes hit Lima directly in the back of the head, but Gordon insists there was no malice involved and says everything he landed was within the rules.
