Comes up short in TUF finale
Gibson lost to Brad Katona via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 27-30) at UFC 292 on Saturday in Boston, coming up short in his bid to become the bantamweight winner of season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter.
ANALYSIS
Gibson's night was far from a total loss, as he'll take home a $50,000 bonus after this matchup was awarded Fight of the Night honors. He also put forth an incredibly competitive effort, winning the total striking battle in the first two rounds and even wobbling Katona a bit early in Round 3. When it was all said and done, only four strikes separated the two men in a matchup in which 324 significant strikes were landed. At the end of the evening in Dana White's post-fight press conference, White acknowledged that Gibson would earn a UFC contract as well despite the defeat. He'll be a tough out for anyone looking to break into the ranks of the bantamweight division.

Draws Katona in TUF Finale
Gibson will take on Brad Katona at UFC 292 on August 19 to determine the bantamweight winner of season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter.
ANALYSIS
Gibson will face a fellow Team Chandler combatant in Katona, both of whom come from the "veterans" portion of the show. To get here, he Gibson clinched the final available spot by defeating Team McGregor product Rico DiSciullo via first-round submission after capitalizing on a slip from the striker. Gibson last saw UFC action in 2015, and has even faced the likes of current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. He's floated around on the regional circuits since, recently competing in promotions such as XMMA, Eagle FC and Up Next Fighting. A win against Katona would grant the 35-year-old a long-awaited second chance with the world's top promotion.
