(Stephan Bonnar: He will stand there all day like that.)
The finale show for The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck — slated for December 4th at the Palms in Las Vegas — just picked up its first two official matchups. According to a press release sent out by Spike this morning, the event will feature a middleweight contest between former title contender Demian Maia and TUF 3 winner Kendall Grove. Maia most recently outpointed Mario Miranda at UFC 118 in Boston, while Grove is coming off a split-decision win over Krzysztof Soszynski (also at UFC 116) when he meets Igor Pokrajac, the man responsible for choking James Irvin out of the UFC. With his 1-2 Octagon record, Pokrajac isn’t exactly a step up in competition for Bonnar after the K-Sos fight. But it’s a fight that Bonnar can win, and if you don’t like seeing Bonnar win fights, we have one question for you: Why do you hate America so much?
Related: According to an MMAJunkie report, the TUF 12 Finale will also host a welterweight battle between Johny Hendricks (9-0, 4-0 UFC) and Rick Story (11-3, 4-1 UFC).

commentsBonnar v Igor. Love it.
I've been to a bar to watch UFC fights only once, and it was the Broids v Caroids fight. People went absolutely APESHIT, myself included, when Bonnar and Fatherless Bastard won their fights. That was good stuff, you guys.
God &*$%^* Damn it ... looks like they just did
Also it may not be a step up but he's 1-3 in his last 4 fights and Igor's 1-2 in his last 3. To imply that they're not on the same rung of the ladder right now shows much ignorance with respect to proper match-making.
