A bout between recent UFC signee Charles Oliveira (12-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and fellow lightweight Darren Elkins (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is now set for The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale.

 

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported the fight in April, and UFC officials have since confirmed it'll be part of the night's un-aired preliminary card.

 

The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale takes place June 19 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

 

The night's main card, including a headliner between Matt Hamill and Keith Jardine, airs on Spike TV.

 

Elkins, a former Indiana state high-school wrestling champion, scored a victory over veteran Duane "Bang" Ludwig down in the first round of their meeting at UFC on Versus 1 in March. Elkins, who was making his UFC debut, shattered Ludwig's ankle during a takedown attempt and scored the TKO win due to the injury.

 

Elkins fought throughout the Midwest prior to his UFC deal and scored victories over notables such as Pat Curran and Gideon Ray.
