A potentially exciting welterweight slugfest between Matt Brown (9-7 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Anthony Johnson (7-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) is now official for The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale.
First rumored in late March, the bout was made official during Wednesday's broadcast of "The Ultimate Fighter" in a segment entitled "Inside the Octagon brought to you by Burger King: Late Night News Your Way."
The TUF 9 finale is scheduled for June 20 at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort.

Taking Rumble for this one... Matt Brown has looked fairly good in his last few fights, and he actually won that fight against Dong Hyun Kim too

I could see this fight coming from miles away.
I might have to pick Johnson...it's tough to chose.
I like both of these fighters so much, this is gonna be an awesome fight I think.

I agree man, he won the Stun Gun fight....this fight sucks for me because these are two of my favorite fighters...I think its going to be great but in the end I see Johnson winning by Tko, possibly early.

I've really came to be a Matt Brown fan. I was and Amir fan when watching 'TUF'. But after seeing Browns fights since being in the UFC. I have become a fan.
I'm thinking Brown can win this fight. But I'm not sure if I'm just being biased since I like him. He's got a real good chance.

If this fight stays on the feet,I like Brown.But I have the feeling that Johnson is going to put Brown on his back and keep it there for the majority of the fight.Brown has some good BJJ though,and he got away from Kim,so I think he's going to give Johnson serious problems.
I think Johnson is going to be the favorite in this fight,but I'll take Brown in a close decision just for the hell of it.The guy is game and Johnson is just a little too full of himself at the moment.
WB.

the concern for me is Johnson's lack of headmovement.
theres only 2" seperating them in reach(in favor of johnson) but he doesnt move as well nor is he as fluid with his striking.
Its power v. Technique and i think Brown is going to win out in this one.
