The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale prelims to stream on Facebook, heavy on cast members

The preliminary card for The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale will stream live on Facebook, officials today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com.
The social-networking site has streamed most of this year's prelims.
Saturday's card, which features a Spike TV-televised headliner between Michael Bisping and Jason "Mayhem" Miller, will be heavy on cast members from "TUF 14."
The 14th season of the UFC's long-running reality series concludes its regular-season run on Wednesday. Then, a bantamweight tourney champion and featherweight tourney champion will be crowned at Saturday's live finale, which takes place at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Because this is the first "TUF" season to feature bantamweight and featherweight fighters, many of the eliminated cast members will get a second chance at a UFC contract when they're matched up on the event's preliminary card. However, those matchups won't be revealed until after Wednesday's final episode.
Currently, the only fights announced for Saturday's card are Bisping vs. Miller (who served as "TUF 14" coaches) and "TUF 13" winner Tony Ferguson vs. lightweight veteran Yves Edwards. They'll fill the main card with the tourney finales.
All other fights are expected to be part of the Facebook stream.
