Kimbo Slice, Marcus Jones, Others Confirmed For “Ultimate Fighter” Finale

Following Wednesday’s airing of the episodic “The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights” season-ender, UFC revealed the full lineup for Saturday’s live “Ultimate Finale” special. Headlined by rising star Jon Jones vs. TUF alum Matt Hamill, the show also showcases the “Ultimate Fighter” finals match between Roy Nelson and Brendan Schaub.

The true ratings draw, however, lies with neither of the aforementioned bouts. Rather, it is an anticipated clash between heavy-handed fighters Houston Alexander and Kimbo Slice that has the mixed martial arts world talking. That fight is confirmed for the televised portion of the card.

Frankie Edgar vs. Matt Veach and TUF semifinalist Marcus Jones vs. quarterfinalist Matt Mitrione are also scheduled.
