Masvidal will be taking on Jake Ellenberger at The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale. The news was first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday, and it was also announced by the UFC.

'Gamebred' was originally scheduled to take on Gastelum at TUF: Latin America 3 Finale on November, but he was left without an opponent when the UFC removed Gastelum from the fight to book him against Donald Cerrone at UFC 205.

Masvidal is coming off a unanimous decision win over Ross Pearson at UFC 201 in July. Prior to that, Masvidal was on a two fight losing streak, losing close split decision to Ben Henderson and Lorenz Larkin. The 31-year-old fighter is now 2-2 since moving up to welterweight back in July 2015.

His opponent, Ellenberger, last competed in the same card as Masvidal – UFC 201. There, Ellenberger saved his UFC career by defeating Matt Brown via first-round technical knockout. That victory earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, and it snapped a two fight losing streak. Ellenberger is 2-5 in his past 7 UFC outings.

TUF 24 Finale held on Dec. 3 at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nev. Demetrious Johnson is scheduled to defend his flyweight title against the winner of the TUF 24 season in the main event of the card
