But on Saturday, June 23rd, these two 155-pound pioneers - who matched wits for six weeks as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter® Season 5 - square off in a rematch five years in the making and finally get the chance to settle their score with their fists when they battle in the main event on The Ultimate Fighting Championship® organization and Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter 5 Season finale live from The Pearl at The Palms in Las Vegas.

SATURDAY, APRIL 7LIVE FROM TOYOTA CENTER IN HOUSTON Houston, TX - Odds mean nothing. The past means nothing. In mixed martial arts, what matters is what happens when the bell rings. And when the bell rang at Toyota Center tonight, Matt Serra came to fight. When you do that, good things can happen, and they did for the Long Island native, who stunned the mixed martial arts world with a first round TKO win over Georges St-Pierre to win the Welterweight Championship in the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) organization's UFC 69: SHOOTOUT main event.
