Former WEC bantamweight number one contender Scott Jorgensen will try to get back into the 135-pound title hunt when he battles Ken Stone at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 Finale on June 4 in Las Vegas.
Heavy.com brought word of the pending match-up earlier today.
Jorgensen tried to upend division champion Dominick Cruz, throwing his "Young Guns" at "The Dominator" in five rounds of rapid fire at WEC 53 but failing to pierce the champion's armor.
It was the Boise banger's first defeat since a June 2009 split decision loss to Antonio Banuelos and snapped a five-fight winning streak.
Can he reload and finish the rolling Stone?
The American Top Team (ATT) standout made his Zuffa debut against Eddie Wineland at the WEC's final show in Dec. 2010. Unfortunately Stone was dropped into the annals of highlight reel history when Wineland stiffened him with a fight-ending slam.
A loss on June 4 could be his last under the banner of the world's largest fight promotion.
The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 Finale is currently scheduled to go down at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will feature Anthony Pettis putting his lightweight number one contender spot on the line when he throws hands against energetic caveman Clay Guida.
