"Verbal agreements are in for an explosive lightweight matchup between Ultimate Fighter season 13 winner Tony Ferguson and veteran striking specialist Yves Edwards December 3rd on the Ultimate Fighter Finale," confirmed UFC president Dana White today.
Both fighters are coming off recent wins. Edwards stopped Rafaello Oliveira via second-round TKO at UFC on Versus 6 on October 1st, while Ferguson stopped Aaron Riley by breaking his jaw in the first round at UFC 135 the week before that. Ferguson finished every fight on TUF and has finished his two UFC bouts as well, but Edwards will be by far the toughest test of his career.
The show will be main-evented by a battle between the current TUF 14 coaches, Michael Bisping and Jason "Mayhem" Miller and will air on Spike TV.
