A featherweight bout between Rony Jason and Robbie Peralta is coming to "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3" Finale this May, according to a report from Brazil's Combate.com.
Jason enters the event after some slight controversy in his last bout. Bouncing back from a knockout loss to Jeremy Stephens, Jason beat up Steven Siler before knocking him down with a big two punch combo. However, the ref stepped in as Siler looked to be fighting back. Jason was still likely en route to a victory, but the early stoppage brought some added attention to the fight.
Regardless, he picked up his fourth win in five UFC fights, and hopes to get on another winning streak here against Peralta.
The 28-year-old Peralta picked up a win in his last fight as well, bouncing back from a decision loss to Akira Corassani last April. Peralta knocked out Estevan Payan in that most recent bout in December, scoring his third win in the UFC.
"The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3" Finale airs live on Fox Sports 1 on May 31, headlined by the light heavyweight bout between Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva.
