The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale
The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on December 3, 2011 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.[2]
Background
The event featured the finalists from The Ultimate Fighter 14 – Team Bisping vs Team Mayhem in the Featherweight and Bantamweight divisions.[2]
With Fox Sports taking over UFC broadcasting rights in January 2012, this was the last UFC event to broadcast it's main card on Spike TV. However, the network did broadcast two live prelimimary fights at UFC 141 later that month. The card was shown in the UK on FX.[3]
The preliminary bouts were streamed on Facebook and consisted entirely of cast members of the show.[4]
Akira Corassani was originally slated to fight Steven Siler at this event. However, Corassani suffered an injury and was forced to pull out of the bout.[5] He was replaced by Josh Clopton.
