The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson is the sixteenth main installment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)-produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter.

This season reverted to the taped format, after The Ultimate Fighter: Live's 12-week live format. The previous season saw the show be revamped. Prior seasons of the show were filmed in six weeks, edited and aired several months after filming was completed, whereas The Ultimate Fighter: Live was being filmed over thirteen weeks, featuring live fights. This season returned the old taped format, but stayed on Friday nights

Abandoning the usual open tryouts for the show, the UFC and FX interviewed candidates directly, with many interviewees being former-tryout participants. On July 12, 2012, Roy Nelson and Shane Carwin were announced as the coaches for the season.

The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson Finale (also known as The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale) was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It took place on December 15, 2012 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.[2]

Background

Shane Carwin was expected to face Roy Nelson in the event's headliner. However, Carwin suffered a knee injury and was replaced by Matt Mitrione.[3]

A bout between Melvin Guillard and Jamie Varner was previously linked to this card. But due to an illness, Varner had to be removed from the card thus scrapping the fight, and rebooking to UFC 155.[4]
