LAS VEGAS: Middleweight Amir Sadollah beat C.B. Dollaway to win "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 7 finale with a first-round submission Saturday night.
The two traded punches before Dollaway, a former All-America wrestler at Arizona State, took Sadollah down and started controlling him.
Sadollah (2-0) weathered the storm and eventually caught an arm, slapping on an armbar from below with a standing Dollaway straining to escape.
Dollaway (7-2) raised his arms in disbelief when referee Herb Dean stopped the fight 3:02 in. Dean mouthed "He tapped" and TV replays seemed to prove him right.
Sadollah also submitted Dollaway during the taped portion of the TV series.
In the co-main event, Season 3 winner Kendall Grove won a split decision over Evan Tanner, bloodying and battering the former middleweight champion
