“The Ultimate Fighter 7” cast member Jesse Taylor will challenge for welterweight gold when he takes on reigning champion Borys Mankowski at KSW 32 "Road to Wembley" on Oct. 31.

The Polish promotion announced the matchup on Wednesday. According to a release, Taylor defeated Mankowski’s original opponent, Michail Tsarev, in August, prompting KSW owners to give “JT Money” the title shot. KSW 32 takes place at Wembley Stadium in London and is headlined by a heavyweight duel between Mariusz Pudzianowski and Peter Graham.
