UFC 139: Shogun vs. Henderson The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller Finale UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida

The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller Finale (also known as 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.[9]

Background

The event featured the finalists from The Ultimate Fighter 14 – Team Bisping vs Team Mayhem in the Featherweight and Bantamweight divisions.[9]

With Fox Sports taking over UFC broadcasting rights in January 2012, this was the last UFC event to broadcast its main card on Spike TV. However, the network did broadcast two live preliminary fights at UFC 141 later that month. The card was shown in the UK on FX.[10]

The preliminary bouts were streamed on Facebook and consisted entirely of cast members of the show.[11]

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.[12] He was replaced by Josh Clopton.

This event also featured the debut of future Bantamweight Champion T.J. Dillashaw.
