A new fight has been made for The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale, as Jake Matthews takes on Kevin Lee. The Daily Telegraph revealed the change, as Lee steps in for Steven Ray.
Matthews (10-1) rebounded from his first pro loss with back-to-back stoppages over Akbarh Arreola and Johnny Case. This will be the first time the lightweight prospect has fought outside of his home country of Australia.
Lee (12-2) has gone 5-2 over seven appearances with the UFC, including a recent win over Efrain Escudero. He is 5-1 over his last six, losing only to Leonardo Santos during that time.
The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale is set for July 8 in Las Vegas at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
