The Ultimate Fighter 14, Episode 5 Review

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Oleg

In the fifth episode, Team Bisping finally put one up on the scoreboard when [#82 FW] Hamid ‘Akira’ Corassani defeated [NR] Dustin Neace by majority decision in a closely contested bout. The win was not without controversy, as Akira appeared to be tapping out when he was caught in a leg lock by Neace in the first round; however the referee didn’t call the submission and Corassani was able to escape the hold, proceeding to drop Dustin with a punch in the second round and narrowly taking the decision.

The current win tally is Team Miller 4, Team Bisping 1.
