The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate Finale (also known as The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale) was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It took place on November 30, 2013, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A rubber match between Nate Diaz and Gray Maynard took place on November 30, 2013, in the main event at The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale.
The two faced each other on The Ultimate Fighter 5 Semi-Finals in an amateur bout, which Diaz won via submission (guillotine choke). Diaz faced Maynard again on January 11, 2010, in the main event at UFC Fight Night 20, a rematch from when the two met in the semi-finals of the TUF 5 lightweight tournament, which Diaz won. Diaz lost a controversial split decision to Maynard, as the former TUF winner was given the nod in the FightMetric reports, winning rounds two and three.
Diaz won the trilogy via TKO in the first round. The stoppage earned him his first Knockout of the Night bonus.
