The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale Details Confirmed

Spike TV and the UFC have released full details of the finale for TUF 7 today.
The show takes place at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on June 21st. The UFC has announced further fights to accompany the already confirmed Evan Tanner vs Kendall Grove and Diego Sanchez vs Luigi Fioravanti bouts.

Spike TV have announced that the event will be shown in HD, and will be a three hours fight card, as opposed to the usual two hours.

The event, as always, will feature the fight between the two finalists from the season, with the winner receiving a six figure contract and various prizes. (In the past these prizes have included new cars and watches.) The bout between coaches Forrest Griffin and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will not be featured on the finale, but will instead be the main event at UFC 86 in July.

Here is the fight card as it stands at the moment. Further bouts are expected to be announced.

Kendall Grove vs. Evan Tanner
Luigi Fioravanti vs. Diego Sanchez
Finalist #1 vs. Finalist #2
Spencer Fisher vs. Jeremy Stephens
Jeremy Horn vs. Dean Lister
