After stumbling against Tony Ferguson in the finals of TUF 13, lightweight Ramsey Nijem has looked incredibly sharp en route to racking up back-to-back victories inside the Octagon. This December he’ll get a chance to make in a true winning streak when he faces fellow TUF alum Joe Proctor at UFC on FOX 5.
Their bout was confirmed this week by UFC brass. The December 8 event is scheduled to take place in Seattle and will feature lightweight champion Benson Henderson putting his belt on the line against Nate Diaz.

Nijem made an impression on TUF with his personality as well as his promise, showing a slick submission game along with solid wrestling and improving hands. He holds an overall record of 6-2 with an even split between wins involving tap-outs, TKOs, and decisions.
Meanwhile, the 8-1 Proctor has come out of four straight fights with his hand raised including his official Octagon debut at the Ultimate Fighter 15 Finale.
