The finale for the UFC's lowest rated sequel to its reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" takes place tomorrow, April 16 on Fox Sports 1.
The introduction of "The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs Australia has gotten mixed reviews from the UFC's American fan base, with abysmal ratings on the Fox's new sports network, Fox Sports 1, the Finale will feature a few of the UFC's mainstays including the coaches of the show Kyle Noke and Patrick Cote, also a main event caliber fight in TUF 3 winner Michael Bisping and former Staff Sargent in the US Army, Tim Kennedy.

It's a classic United Kingdom vs United States match up.
Michael Bisping (24-5) comes into this fight with nearly a year long layoff due to a detached retina suffered from previous fights and in training, but Bisping is the UFC's most popular star from the United Kingdom.
Tim Kennedy (17-4) comes into this fight riding a three fight win streak with his most notable a first-round-knockout of Rafael Natal, at the UFC's annual show for the military veterans, "UFC Fight for the Troops 3."
Both men will enter the octagon with some animosity towards each other, after trading shots on twitter and trashing each other on some interviews.
Although the fight will take place in Canada, it will have major implications for the countries each men represent.
