Although promised a title shot, final WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (13-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) instead will make his UFC debut against standout Clay Guida (28-11 MMA, 8-5 UFC) in the headliner of The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has confirmed with event sources.
This past week UFC president Dana White mentioned the fight as a possibility, and today during a Q&A session ahead of UFC Fight Night 23, he said the fight is good to go.
Although White didn’t mention a specific date for the fight, MMAjunkie.com has confirmed with sources it’ll serve as the TUF 13 Finale headliner.
The event takes place June 4 at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and airs live on Spike TV.
“TUF 13,” which begins production this month in Las Vegas, is a welterweights-only season of a reality series that first debuted in 2005. Junior Dos Santos and Brock Lesnar serve as head coaches of the show, which debuts March 30 on Spike TV. Non-cast members often headline the show’s live finale.
