A bantamweight bout has been added to The Ultimate Fighter Nations Finale as George Roop will meet Dustin Kimura on the preliminary card.
The fight booking was announced by the UFC on Thursday afternoon following the UFC 170 Pre-Fight Press Conference.
The Ultimate Fighter Nations Finale takes place from the Colisee Pepsi in Quebec City on April 16th and will be headlined by a middleweight bout as Michael Bisping meets Tim Kennedy.
Roop (14-10-1) returned to the bantamweight division last year and won back to back fights against Reuben Duran and Brian Bowles. His winning streak would be stopped at UFC Fight for the Troops 3 in November by Francisco Rivera as he scored a TKO victory in the second round.
Kimura (11-1) has won two of his three fights in the UFC and both of those wins have come by submission. He recently defeated Jon delos Reyes at UFC Fight Night 34 last month and it was his eighth career win to come by submission.
