Tommy Speer, former WEC fighter and runner-up for "The Ultimate Fighter" reality TV series, season 6, is slated to fight Anthony "Rumble" Johnson on April 2 as part of Spike TV's Ultimate Fight Night 13, taking place outside Denver, Colorado. This event will act as the lead-in for The Ultimate Fighter's upcoming season 7.

In The Ultimate Fighter 6, Speer beat Ben Saunders, George Sotiropolous, and Jon Kippenhaver before being submitted by Mac Danzig in the live finale.

This promises to be a vicious battle as, in his UFC debut in UFC Fight Night 10, the 23-year-old Rumble slaughtered Chad Reiner in just 13 seconds.

Speer's record is 9-2 in MMA and 0-1 in the UFC. Johnson's is 4-1 in MMA and 1-1 in the UFC.

Other fights slated for Ultimate Fight Night 13 are:

• Gray Maynard versus Frank Edgar
