Luis Pena to fight TUF winner Mike Trizano at UFC Denver

Luis Pena’s stint in The Ultimate Fighter house was cut short. Now he’s getting the chance to make up for lost time.

Nicknamed “Violent Bob Ross,” Pena (4-0) will fight TUF 27 lightweight champion Mike Trizano (6-0) at UFC Denver at the Pepsi Center on Nov. 10, according to a report from The Denver Post.

Though Pena gained plenty of notoriety on TUF 27 show for his fighting ability and resemblance to famous painter and television personality Bob Ross, it was Trizano who would go on to defeat Joe Giannetti at the Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale in July to win the season.
