At long last, “The Crusher” is ready to return after what will be an absence of two years.

Season 11 “Ultimate Fighter” winner Court McGee (16-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC) will return in December to meet Marcio Alexandre Jr. (12-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in a welterweight bout at UFC 194. Promotion officials announced the new fight booking today.

Featuring featherweight champion Jose Aldo vs. interim titleholder Conor McGregor and middleweight champ Chris Weidman vs. Luke Rockhold, UFC 194 takes place Dec. 12 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

McGee has continued to suffer injuries that have kept him out of competition since December 2013, when he dropped a unanimous decision to Ryan LaFlare. Prior to that, he had back-to-back wins over Josh Neer and Robert Whittaker earlier in 2013. McGee won “TUF 11” in June 201 by submitting Kris McCray, then won his next two UFC fights before a two-fight skid.

Alexandre Jr. could be fighting for his UFC life. After starting a perfect 12-0, with 12 stoppages, the Brazilian was submitted by Warlley Alves in the middleweight final of Season 3 of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.” Then he dropped a split decision to Tim Means this past December in his welterweight debut. Now he’ll fight outside his native Brazil for the first time in desperate need of a victory.

With the addition, the latest UFC 194 lineup now includes:

Champ Jose Aldo vs. interim champ Conor McGregor – for featherweight title Champ Chris Weidman vs. Luke Rockhold – for middleweight title Yoel Romero vs. Ronaldo Souza Warlley Alves vs. Colby Covington Marcio Alexandre Jr. vs. Court McGee
