The Ultimate Fighter season 9 lightweight winner Ross Pearson will take on tough veteran Aaron Riley at UFC 105 in November. The news comes courtesy of a report on MMAWeekly.com.

On season 9 of the durable reality series, Pearson secured a spot in the house and on Michael Bisping's team by defeating A.J. Wenn in the elimination bouts. He made his way to the lightweight finals by taking out Richie Whitson and Jason Dent.

Pearson has won his last two bouts including the Ultimate Fighter 9 lightweight tournament by defeating fellow brit Andre Winner at TUF 9 finale in June.

The Cage Warriors Fighting Championship veteran has been competing professionally for nearly five years, putting together a 9-3 MMA record, with 7 of his wins being via stoppage.

UFC 105 is expected to take place on Nov. 14 in Manchester, England and will be televised on Spike TV. The UFC has yet to determine a headline bout for the event but it is expected to feature Michael Bisping taking on Denis Kang and the TUF 9 welterweight winner James Wilks facing Matt Brown.
