TUF 13 Finale: Spike TV announces final fight card for June 4 in Las Vegas
And a fair warning to all the West Coast Maniacs, TUF 13 Finale will air via tape delay in your neck of the woods.
Leading the charge into "Sin City" will be a welterweight match-up featuring Anthony Ferguson (10-2) from Team Lesnar versus Ramsey Nijem (4-1) from Team Dos Santos. Both contestants will slug it out in the main event to see who goes home with the "six-figure contract" and TUF bragging rights.
Also featured on the Spike TV telecast will be an electric battle between top lightweight contenders as Clay "The Carpenter" Guida (28-11) tries to quell the uprising of former WEC 155-pound champion Anthony "Showtime" Pettis (13-1).
And expect to see some familiar faces from this season of TUF, as the promotion is bringing back a handful of hopefuls for a second shot at UFC stardom.
That includes "Cold Steel" Chuck O'Neil (8-3), who was bounced from the semifinals by Tony Ferguson. He's been paired up with another semifinalist in Chris Cope (4-1), who was unable to get past Ramsey Nijem in the second-to-last episode.
Shamar Bailey (11-3) of Team Dos Santos will get a second lease on his UFC life, despite falling short to "C-Murder" on the cable network reality show. He must prove himself worthy against fellow teammate Ryan "The Kid" McGillivray (11-4-1).
Last but never least, Justin Edwards (6-0), who made an early exit after an upkick knockout by "The Boogeyman," gives it another go opposite Clay Harvison (6-1), who fought through a mangled pinkie finger only to be submitted by Nijem in the quarterfinals.
