The Ultimate Fighter season 13 winner, Tony Ferguson, is set to fight Thugjitsu specialist, Yves Edwards at The Ultimate Fighter season 14 finale according to ufc.com

"Verbal agreements are in for an explosive lightweight match up between Ultimate Fighter season 13 winner Tony Ferguson and veteran striking specialist Yves Edwards December 3rd on the Ultimate Fighter Finale," Dana White, UFC president, said.

Ferguson (12-2) recently had a successful lightweight debut against Aaron Riley at UFC 135, winning via TKO in the second round and breaking Riley's jaw in the process. Ferguson now rides a five fight win streak and sits at a flawless 2-0 start in the UFC.

Opposing him on the TUF 14 finale is the "Thugjitsu Master" himself, Edwards (41-17-1). Edwards last defeated Rafaello Oliveira at UFC on Versus 6 via TKO in the second round to rebound from a Sam Stout knockout earlier this year. Edwards is now 4-1 over his last five fights.

Edwards is noticeably more experienced that Ferguson, having fought in nearly 60 fights spanning a 14 year career compared to just 14 fights in three years for Ferguson.

TUF 14 Finale on December 3, 2011 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas will be headlined by Michael Bisping fighting Jason Miller.

Yves Jabouin and Walel Watson also on tap for a bantamweight scrap at UFC 140 according to ufc.com.

"Jabouin is looking to stay undefeated since moving into the weight division and Watson is coming off a spectacular KO win," White said.

Jabouin recently dropped to the bantamweight division in his bout against Ian Loveland at UFC 134, winning the fight via split decision. Jabouin was a featherweight prior to his UFC 134 bout, building a 16-7 MMA record. He is now 2-1 over three fights.

Watson (9-2) recently made a successful UFC debut by defeating Joseph Sandoval via TKO in the first round at UFC on Versus 6. Watson is now riding a two fight win streak.

UFC 140 scheduled on December 10, 2011 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario will play host to the UFC light heavyweight title match between Jon Jones defending against Lyoto Machida.
