The mystery is over and we finally know who Aisling Daly will be meeting at The Ultimate Fighter 20 finale next weekend.

The Irish strawweight has been matched up with Team Pettis team-mate Alex Chambers on the card which will see the crowning of the UFC’s very first 115 lb champion.

During her time in the house, Chambers was one of few fighters that Ais “The Bash” became close with as she revealed in an interview with SportsJOE last month.

Daly is the vastly more experienced fighter, holding a professional record of 14-5 while her Australian opponent has fought professionally just five times (4-1).

Both fighters are coming off exhibition losses in The Ultimate Fighter house.

Daly reached the quarter-finals before losing a close decision to Jessica Penne while Chambers was eliminated in her first fight by a Rose Namajunas submission.

The TUF 20 finale takes place in the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada and the official fight card reads as follows.

Jeremy Stephens vs Charles Oliveira
KJ Noons vs Daron Cruickshank
Joe Proctor vs Yancy Medeiros
Aisling Daly vs Alex Chambers
Emily Kagan vs Angela Hill
Tecia Torres vs Angela Magana
JoJo Calderwood vs Soe Hee Ham
Bec Rawling vs Heather Clark
Felice Herrig vs Lisa Ellis
