According to a report from Heavy, Matt Brown is set to face off against Rich Attonito on the finale card for the 13th season of “The Ultimate Fighter.” The card takes place on June 4 at the Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Brown will be looking to break a three-game losing streak. In 2010, he dropped bouts to Brian Foster, Chris Lytle and Ricardo Almeida. Before that stretch, “The Immortal” went 4-1 in the UFC with a win over Bellator veteran Ryan Thomas.
After the 11th season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Attonito made his UFC debut against fan-favorite Jamie Yager and picked up a second-round knockout. In his next fight, he was a huge underdog against Rafael Natal, but pulled out the unanimous-decision victory. In his last fight, Dave Branch handed Attonito his first UFC loss at the TUF 12 finale.
The 13th season of “The Ultimate Fighter” is set to begin airing on March 30 on Spike TV. Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos are leading teams of welterweights looking for a shot in the UFC.
In the main event of the finale card, WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will make his UFC debut against Clay Guida. With a win, Pettis will receive a shot at the UFC lightweight title.
