A featherweight bout between Josh Grispi and George Roop is in the works for The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale on June 4 in Las Vegas.
Grispi (14-2, 0-1 UFC) originally earned a title shot against UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo after a 4-0 run in the WEC. Aldo was forced to withdraw from the bout with an injury, though, and Grispi then lost to Dustin Poirier by unanimous decision at UFC 125.
Roop (11-7-1, 1-3 UFC) originally moved up to lightweight from featherweight to compete as a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter 8. After a 1-2 stint in the UFC, Roop was released and dropped back to featherweight, where he competed three times for the WEC. Roop returned to the UFC at "UFC: Fight for the Troops 2," but was knocked out by Mark Hominick in the first round.
