(PRESS RELEASE) -- Las Vegas – The UFC® announced that the
groundbreaking season of The Ultimate Fighter®: A Champion Will Be
Crowned will come to an explosive finish in the season finale on
Friday, Dec. 12 at Palms Casino Resort. The two finalists will
battle it out to become the inaugural UFC 115-pound champion in the
five-round main event.
As the latest installment of the UFC’s signature reality series, The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned launched the UFC women’s strawweight division, and showcased 16 of the world’s best 115-pound female mixed martial artists as they fought to capture the first-ever strawweight crown. The winner of this season, to be decided on the finale show, will emerge as a trailblazer in women’s MMA and follow in the footsteps of current UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
In addition to a world title fight, powerful striker (No.10)
Jeremy
Stephens (23-9, fighting out of San Diego, Calif. by way of Des
Moines, Iowa) will take on 14th-ranked featherweight Charles
Oliveira (18-4, 1NC, fighting out of Houston, Texas by way of
Sao Paulo, Brazil) in the co-main event.
Coming off a 30-second win over Sam Stout at The Ultimate Fighter® finale in April, former STRIKEFORCE® veteran K.J. Noons (12-6, fighting out of San Diego, Calif.) returns to face The Ultimate Fighter season 15 alumnus Daron Cruickshank (16-5, fighting out of Detroit, Mich.). Plus, fellow season 15 standout Joe Proctor (10-2, fighting out of Bridgewater, Mass.) looks for a third straight win when he meets the always dangerous Yancy Medeiros (10-2, 1 NC, fighting out of Honolulu, Hawaii) in a 155-pound scrap.
