Ellenberger vs. Thompson, Masvidal vs. ‘Mutante’ Set for ‘TUF 21’ Finale in Las Vegas

A welterweight bout between Jake Ellenberger and Stephen Thompson that was originally scheduled for UFC 189 will now headline "The Ultimate Fighter 21" finale finale.

Promotion officials announced the change on Friday. The ‘TUF 21’ finale takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on July 12 and also includes a 170-pound showdown between Jorge Masvidal and Cezar Ferreira.

Ellenberger ended a three-fight skid at UFC 184, when he submitted Josh Koscheck with a north-south choke 4:20 into the second round of their encounter.
