On This Day: John Dodson Becomes The Ultimate Fighter

Nine years ago, on December 3, 2011, John Dodson scored one of the biggest wins of his career. He knocked out T.J. Dillashaw in the first round of the tournament finale. To go with his TUF 14 crown, Dodson was also awarded a $40,000 bonus for knockout of the night. It was the start of a long and mildly successful UFC career for Dodson.
