Valérie Létourneau earned her shot on the back on three-straight decision victories inside the UFC. She will become the first ever "The Ultimate Fighter" contestant that lost in the "get into the house round" to fight for a UFC title. Previous non-season-winning TUF veterans are 1-9-1 in their attempts to claim a title (the only successful challenger was Dillashaw).

Despite her winning streak, Létourneau's victories hardly compare with the striking dominance displayed by the champion. The following graph shows both of the fighters' last three performances and their overall career StrikeScore (career includes all fights listed in FightMetric.com)
