Jefferson Creighton Proceeds to Welterweight Semifinals in ‘TUF 33’ Bloodbath

Jefferson Creighton drew enough blood to make diehard Wes Craven fans squirm.

The Team Cormier rep on Tuesday moved one step closer to an Ultimate Fighting Championship contract with a majority decision over Team Sonnen’s Andreeas Binder on Episode 4 of “The Ultimate Fighter 33.” Creighton seized the reins late in the first round, where he hacked open a long diagonal cut on the right side of his opponent’s forehead with a perfectly placed elbow strike. Though the cutman in Binder’s corner managed to stop the bleeding during the 60-second respite between rounds, it soon became problematic.
