The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale will take place on April 13th in the Mandalay Bay Events Center, and was originally scheduled to be headlined by a title fight. But UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson is hurt, so his bout with John Moraga was scratched and there’s a new main event now. Former WEC fighters and friends will meet in the headliner as Urijah Faber faces off with a guy he’s trained extensively with the past, Scott Jorgensen.
The co-main event of the card will likely be the Ultimate Fighter 17 middleweight final. The combatants in that bout will be revealed in the final episode of TUF 17 tomorrow night. But one of the other wrinkles that came out over the UFC 158 weekend was that the women’s bout between Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano will decide who coaches against Ronda Rousey on The Ultimate Fighter 18. Also of note on the current card is a heavyweight battle between Travis Browne and Gabriel Gonzaga. Here’s a look at where the card sits right now:
Apr 13th, live on FX from Las Vegas, NV:
Urijah Faber vs. Scott Jorgensen
TUF 17 middleweight final
Miesha Tate vs. Cat Zingano
Travis Browne vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
Cole Miller vs. Bart Palaszewski
