Relive the action from The Ultimate Fighter Finale in our picture special

JOANNA Jedrzejczyk was in scintillating form as she came from behind to defeat Claudia Gadelha and retain her UFC women’s strawweight title at the MGM Grand on Friday night.

Our Octagonside photographer Per Haljestam was as close to the action as you’re allowed to get without actually being in the cage.

And he captured some stunning shots as the fighters went to battle at The Ultimate Fighter Finale in Las Vegas.

Check out the best of his shots here:
