Hard-hitting middleweights Marvin Eastman (15-7-1 MMA, 1-3 UFC) and Drew McFedries (6-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) will meet at The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale, which takes place June 21 at The Palms Las Vegas.

Eastman broke news of the fight with a recent MySpace bulletin.

The fight will be the final one on his UFC contract, Eastman wrote. The contract was acquired when the UFC bought out the World Fighting Alliance in December 2006.

In his most recent fight, Eastman finally picked up his first career UFC victory after three unsuccessful attempts. He scored a unanimous-decision victory over Terry Martin at UFC 81. He's now 3-1-1 in his past five fights with the only loss coming to Quinton Jackson at UFC 67.

McFedries, meanwhile, will look to rebound from his first-round TKO loss to Patrick Cote in January. The highly touted Miletich fighter suffered a serious, "football-sized" staph infection prior to the fight. It was his second loss in three fights. Prior to a 33-second knockout of Jordan Radev, McFedries suffered a first-round submission loss to Martin Kampmann.

In addition to the finals of "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rampage vs. Team Forrest," the live finale will feature Luigi Fioravanti vs. Diego Sanchez, Kendall Grove vs. Evan Tanner, and Josh Burkman vs. Dustin Hazelett.

Eastman is built like a damn brick wall, he has muscles in places that people don't even have places, but sometimes you have to figure that he pays more attention to his appearance than his skills, sure it's good to look good, if you have the game to back it up and what I have seen of him, he kinda doesn't.

Yea it seems that the loser of this fight will be gone from the UFC for a very long time with the winner staying on for a while longer.

I don't see either as a big loss really, but I would rather it be Eastman gone than McFredies.

Yea neither is going to rock the foundation but with records like that in the UFC Dana is sure to release the loser.

I'm not sure Eastman would mind too much to be honest, as long as he still has his physique to maintain he will be fine.
