UFC Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Finale line up and fight card finalized for Dec. 5

After months of speculation and weekly teases, the UFC has finalized the line up and fight card for The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 Finale, set to take place at "The Pearl" from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, December 5, 2009.

Former IFL champion Roy Nelson and undefeated Greg Jackson disciple Brendan Schaub were the last two standing out of a field of 16 hungry heavyweights on the Spike TV reality show and will face off for a chance to earn a "six-figure contract" and TUF bragging rights this Saturday night.

Of course, the ratings bonanza surrounding the much ballyhooed inclusion of former YouTube sensation and Elite XC star Kimbo Slice was enough to get him a spot on the televised card against the furious fists of Houston Alexander.

Former contestants Marcus Jones, Darrill Schoonover and Justin Wren will also be in action, joining Matt Mitrione, Justin Wren and Jon Madsen in a second attempt at UFC stardom.

Last but certainly not least will be a light heavyweight war featuring Jon "Bones" Jones as he inches his way closer to title contention against Matt "The Hammer" Hamill.
