The UFC has officially announced the Finale event for the 13th season of The Ultimate Fighter, and tickets for the event go on sale this week.

Taking place from The Pearl at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 4, the Finale event airs live on Spike TV with a lightweight headliner between Anthony "Showtime" Pettis and Clay "The Carpenter" Guida.

The card will also feature Ultimate Fighter 12 winner Jonathan Brookins in a bout against Jeremy Stephens and the welterweight finals from the upcoming season of the long-running reality show.

"Anthony Pettis and Clay Guida both want to prove that they deserve the next shot at the lightweight title," UFC President Dana White said. "Pettis comes in to the UFC with a lot of hype. He was the last WEC lightweight champion and became a superstar after landing that incredible kick off the cage against Ben Henderson. But this is the toughest fight of his career. Clay Guida is a gritty, in-your-face fighter who has put together a really impressive winning streak. This is a fight I can't wait to see."

The Ultimate Fighter 13 features 14 welterweight being coached by former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and divisional challenger Junior Dos Santos.

Tickets for the event range from $150-$375. UFC Fight Club members get the first crack at tickets this Wednesday, March 23, with UFC Newsletter subscribers getting a pre-sale on Thursday and the general public getting their shot at tickets on Friday.

UPDATE: The UFC mistakenly announced that the Barao-Johnson bout was on this card, but the bantamweight bout takes place on May 28 at UFC 130.
