                    <p>It is common for the Ultimate Fighter to give an opportunity to most of the cast members a chance to earn a place in the UFC at the finale of the season, even if they don&#39;t make it through the tournament. It will be the same with this season of TUF, featuring sixteen women competing for the women&#39;s straw weight championship:</p>

UFC officials have confirmed to FOX Sports that 15 of the 16 fighters from this season of The Ultimate Fighter will compete at the upcoming finale on December 12 in Las Vegas.

The one fighter not on the card will be Justine Kish, who is still recovering from knee surgery to repair an ACL tear that was revealed on episode five of the series this year.

None of the matchups for the show will be announced until a later date of course because the tournament is still unfolding with preliminary round fights taking place for two more weeks before the quarterfinals begin.

This is news? It was said on the first episode that they were all already in the UFC this season, regardless how they do on the show. That is the bulk of the division. Phone Post 3.0

Yeah, but we didn't know they were all going to be fighting on the same card. It'll be the UFC's first female-dominated card.

Ugh. Have always hated when they do this. And this is no exception. I know they need to populate the division, but still.

Bec and Thug Rose tag-team FTW! Phone Post 3.0

Wow 8+ female fights on one card? If there was ever an event to attend the weigh ins, it might be this one

If 15 of 16 will be fighting then that leaves 1 odd girl out. I guess Heather will ride an airdyne bike for 3 rounds. Phone Post 3.0

Enter a pumpkin and your trip to the finale could be free:)

I'm sure there will be many negative comments before and after but the card should be awesome.
These girls are nasty and love to bang.

And subsequently the lowest watched card of all time

I wonder who's getting to fight the non cast member? Phone Post 3.0

8/8 for the majority of the show.

Zuffa needs to cut back on spending & save up for the upcoming balloon payment for Station Casino`s.

This can only mean 15 Woman Battle Royale for the UFC title!

Have they announced Van Zants debut? From what I understand she's the only direct signing so the match will prob be against her. Phone Post 3.0
She had a fight lined up. Pulled out of it due to injury IIRC. She should be good to go by then. Phone Post 3.0

On the UFC's website, they're saying Van Zant is fighting Kailin Curran on the Swanson / Edgar Fight Pass prelims.
