Lightweights Jake Matthews, Kevin Lee to Clash at ‘TUF 23’ Finale on July 8

Lightweight prospects Jake Matthews and Kevin Lee will lock horns at "The Ultimate Fighter 23” finale.

Lee replaces Steven Ray in a bout that originally pitted Ray against Tae Hyun Bang before withdrawals altered the matchup. The Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed the new pairing on Thursday following an initial report from The Daily Telegraph. The “TUF 23” finale takes place on July 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and is headlined by a strawweight title tilt between Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Claudia Gadelha.
