Two former cast members of “The Ultimate Fighter” will meet at UFC Fight Night 22. The card is expected to take place on Sept. 15, but the promotion has yet to indicate a location. The event will serve as a lead in to the reality show’s 12th season.
MMAFighting was the first to break news of the match up.
Pearson has followed up his tournament-winning performance on the reality show, by going 3-0 under the UFC banner. After defeating Andre Winner in the championship match, he returned and bested Aaron Riley and Dennis Siver. Overall, the British prospect’s record stands at 11-3.
Like Pearson, Miller also found his way into the world’s number-one promotion through the reality show. After failing to win the fifth season, he made his debut against Andy Wang and won in devastating fashion. Since then, the American Top Team product has experienced mixed results inside the Octagon. In his last outing, he used a Kimura lock to defeated Dan Lauzon and improve his UFC record to 5-2.
Several media sources have reported that Alan Belcher will also face Demian Maia on this card. As previously stated, a location for this event has not yet been announced. However, MMAJunkie has reported that the event will take place in either Austin or San Antonio, Texas.
