Date: Dec. 29, 2007

Venue: Mandalay Bay Events Center
Broadcast: PPV

The Ultimate Fighter finale was supposed to feature a bout between the two coaches from the season, Matt Serra and Matt Hughes. Unfortunately, Matt Serra backed out of the fight due to a back injury, and Matt Hughes is set to fight Georges St. Pierre in this month's other big UFC event – UFC: Nemesis.

UFC 79: Nemesis will feature the main event bout between Georges St. Pierre and Matt Hughes, in the main event. The two coaches featured on "The Ultimate Fighter 6" television series.

In addition, former champions Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva are expected to finally face off in a 205-pound war. It’s going to be a great night.

Liddell (20-5), considered by many to be the greatest light heavyweight fighter of all time, reigned as the 205-pound UFC champion for over three years. He knocked out seven opponents in seven consecutive fights, including Randy Couture (twice), Vernon White, Jeremy Horn, Renato “Babalu” Sobral and Tito Ortiz (twice), before he was defeated by Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 71 in May. Chuck now returns to the Octagon to face the fighter he has wanted to fight for years - Wanderlei Silva.

The 31-year old Silva (31-7-1), known by fight fans as “The Axe Murderer” for his ultra-aggressive style and finishing ability, began his career almost 11 years ago in his native Brazil, fighting in Vale Tudo bouts that pushed him to the limit as he honed the skills that would soon make him one of the most feared fighters on the planet. He met great success by winning the PRIDE organization”s middleweight championship and defeating the likes of current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton Jackson (twice), Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba (three times), Ricardo Arona, Hidehiko Yoshida, and Kazuyuki Fujita, while engaging in some of the most memorable fights in MMA history. Well-rested after his February PRIDE fight against Dan Henderson, Silva is ready to take on Liddell and secure the most important victory of his mixed martial arts career.

There are other fantastic match ups in the works for this card, including a lightweight showdown that possibly includes BJ Penn fighting for the 155-pound title against either current champ Sean Sherk or number one contender, Joe Stevenson (This all depends on Sherk’s October 31 CSAC steroids appeal).
