The UFC has added multiple fights to the TUF 23 Finale, which will occur the night before UFC 200. Of the new additions to the card, the biggest matchup is a lightweight battle between TUF 9 winner Ross Pearson and James Krause. The main card airs live on Fox Sports 1 on Friday, July 8th.
Pearson (19-10, 1 NC) won an entertaining split decision over Chad Laprise at UFC Brisbane last month. Dating back to his highly controversial (AKA: completely incorrect) split decision loss vs. Diego Sanchez, the Englishman has kept a holding pattern of alternating losses with wins over his last 8 fights.
