    Matt Hamill vs Jon Jones
    Light heavyweight prospects Jon Jones and Matt Hamill are expected to do battle at the Season 10 finale of "The Ultimate Fighter."

    MMAMadness.com first reported the match-up, and MMAWeekly.com subsequently confirmed the news with sources close to the fight. Though bout agreements have not been signed, both parties have agreed to the fight and are expected to finalize the fight soon.

    Though not officially announced by the UFC, the reality show finale is expected for Dec. 5 at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas.

    Jones (9-0) has been on the fast track in the light heavyweight division, defeating Andre Gusmao, Stephan Bonnar, and most recently, Jake O'Brien with an explosive and unpredictable style. Based in Greco-Roman wrestling, Jones will split his pre-bout MMA training between Team Bomb Squad in Cortland, N.Y., and Jackson's MMA in Albuquerque, N.M.

    Hamill (6-2) showcased a vicious striking attack in his last appearance at UFC 96, knocking out fellow wrestler Mark Munoz with a head kick in the first round of their meeting. The Utica, N.Y., resident was supposed to face Krzystzof Soszynski at UFC 102, but a knee injury prompted him to withdraw from the fight.

      Yeah, it is hard to say what will happen. We haven't really seen Jones tested, although he has basically dominated his opponents since coming into the UFC. He is very quick and explosive but then again Matt has a heavy chin and if he uses his wrestling may be able to pull out a decision.

      Personally, I think Matt Hamill is way too stubborn to fight this fight smart and will try to strike with Jones and I believe that Jones will finally break Hamill's granite chin. I can't wait to see the line though.

          This should be a very interesting fight...one I'm not touching...but I'm leaning towards Jon Jones via late round stoppage or UD.

            Jones by murder..... This won't be close....
            Whatever the line opens at it will move towards Jones quickly.
