A fight between former cast members of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show has been confirmed for the December final event of the program’s 16th season.

Making his debut in the bantamweight division, Brazil’s Marcos Vinicius Vina, 32, will face the USA’s Johnny Bedford, a member of the 2011 TUF 14. The Brazilian was on the cast for the maiden season of TUF Brazil. The fight is set for December 15 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Vina was a featherweight semifinalist, exiting the contest after losing to Godofredo Pepey. His resurrection came in the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais at UFC 147, when he had a come-from-behind win after knocking out Wagner Galeto in the third round, after showing off a durable chin early on.

Even with the win, Vina decided to drop down a division and fight at 61 kg (135 lbs).

“I’m overjoyed with the opportunity the UFC is giving me. I’d been waiting for a fight since the day after my win over Galeto, in June. I’ll give my life in that octagon to win again,” said the fighter, now with a record of 20 wins and three losses.

Um combate de ex-participantes do reality show “The Ultimate Fighter”, o TUF, está confirmado para o evento final da 16ª temporada do programa, em dezembro.

Fazendo sua estreia no peso-galo, o brasileiro Marcos Vinicius Vina, 32 anos, enfrenta o americano Johnny Bedford, que participou do TUF 14, em 2011. O paranaense integrou o time de participantes do “TUF Brasil”, em sua primeira edição. O duelo será no dia 15 de dezembro, em Las Vegas, nos EUA.

Vina disputou uma das semifinais do torneio entre os penas, onde acabou derrotado por Godofredo Pepey.  A reabilitação veio no UFC 147, em Minas Gerais, onde ele conquistou uma grande virada, nocauteando Wagner Galeto no terceiro round, após mostrar um queixo duro ao suportar potentes golpes de seu compatriota no começo da luta.

Mesmo com a vitória, Vina optou por descer de categoria, passando a lutar na divisão até 61kg.

“Fiquei muito feliz com a oportunidade que o UFC está me dando. Estava esperando por uma luta desde o dia seguinte ao da minha vitória sobre o Galeto, em junho. Vou dar a minha vida dentro daquele octógono para sair mais uma vez com a vitória”, disse o lutador, agora com um cartel de 20v, 3d.
