The UFC has fleshed out the live finale card to "The Ultimate Fighter," pitting Season 11 irritant Jamie Yager against Rich Attonito in one of the televised fights.
Kris McCray (6-0) will take on Court McGee (10-1) to decide the Season 11 winner on the June 19 card at The Palms in Las Vegas.
The two middleweights advanced with wins in the final episode of the reality TV show that aired Wednesday night. The winner earns a UFC contract, although others from the cast will undoubtedly join him in the MMA promotion.
The card also features veteran light-heavyweight Keith (The Dean of Mean) Jardine against Matt (The Hammer) Hamill, middleweight Chris (The Crippler) Leben against Aaron (A-Train) Simpson, and lightweight Dennis Siver versus Spencer (The King) Fisher.
Attonito (7-3) won both of his fights on the reality TV show but had to withdraw because of a broken hand.
Yager (2-1) scored two wins but then failed to answer the bell for the third round against Josh Bryant. The trash-talking, prank-playing fighter with the big ‘fro was like sandpaper to several other cast members during the show’s six-week shoot.
James Hammortree, Kyacey Uscola and Clayton McKinney all expressed a wish to fight Yager in the finale.
In other finale fights involving Season 11 cast members, semifinalist Brad Tavares (4-1) takes on Seth Baczynski (11-5), and Chris Camozzi (12-3) tackles Hammortree (4-0).
Proving the squeaky wheel gets the grease, Yager is the one who joins McGee-McCray on the televised portion of the card.
