“In an interview on ESPN 690 in Jacksonville (one-timd Dana White Contender Series fighter) @A_Train_92 asked whether now would be the perfect time to reboot The Ultimate Fighter due to a lack of sports programming.    White: “We’re literally working on that right now”

With the global pandemic looming over the entire world, and everyone stuck indoors due to the social distancing and lockdown measures, the show will for sure come as a welcome relief to many.
