After Team Rashad won the second elimination bout on episode two of “The Ultimate Fighter” the Heavyweights, it was coach Rashad Evans turns to call out the match-up for the next fight.

Evans called out Kimbo Slice and his “greasy beard” to face his fighter, Roy “Big Country” Nelson for the third elimination bout of the show.

The episode will air on Spike TV on Sept. 30 at 10PM (EST) and will no doubt be hyped up on the channel long before the show airs.

The fight will pit one of the most popular and well known fighters in the world, against one of the best fighters on this seasons TUF show. Nelson is the former IFL heavyweight champion, having successfully defended his title twice before the promotion closed its doors, and is the odds-on favorite to win.

In his last two fights, Slice has delivered 7 million viewers for his win James Thompson, the most watched MMA event in history, and more than 6 million viewers in his loss to Seth Petruzelli.

Next Wednesday’s show should be a ratings giant for Spike as both men step into a UFC octagon for the fist time.

Here’s how the teams stand after episode two:

TEAM RASHAD (2-0)

James McSweeney 1-0
Brendan Schaub
Justin Wren
Jon Madsen 1-0
Roy Nelson
Darrill Schoonover
Matt Mitrione
Mike Wessel

TEAM RAMPAGE (0-2)

Kimbo Slice
Abe Wagner – Eliminated on episode one by Jon Madsen
Demico Rogers
Wes Sims
Scott Junk
Wes Shivers – Eliminated on episode two by James McSweeney
