Another bout announced on Saturday by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is a bantamweight match between Reuben Duran (7-3-1) and Francisco “Cisco” Rivera (5-1) which has been scheduled for The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale.
The bout will most likely take place on the preliminary card of the “TUF 13 Finale” which will air on Spike TV, which takes place on June 4 at The Pearl at the Palms Casino & Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Duran made his UFC debut earlier this month at the UFC on Versus 3 event, losing a split decision to Takeya Mizugaki at the Louisville, Kentucky event. The defeat stopped a four fight win streak which saw him win two submission victories, one by knockout and one by decision for King of the Cage and the Long Beach Fight Night promotions.
His opponent, Rivera, makes his UFC debut against Duran after making one appearance in the WEC cage, losing to Erik Koch by TKO in the first round. It was “Cisco’s” first loss after earning five straight wins with various promotions.
