The Ultimate Fighter is a perfect mix between reality television and MMA. ‘TUF’ has not only been instrumental in helping the promotion reach a wider audience, but it has also been a breeding ground for talent. Multiple fighters who have competed in The Ultimate Fighter have gone on to win UFC belts, establishing themselves as top fighters in their respective divisions.
After a long hiatus, the show will resume on June 1st. Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, and number two ranked featherweight Brian Ortega, will be the head coaches. UFC President Dana White stated that the season was an extremely interesting one, one that would be worth the wait.

In a recent interview, James Lynch asked Colby Covington for thoughts on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter. He said, “I know Hunter Campbell and Dana White probably had to go behind closed doors and be smacking themselves in the head. You don’t want those two guys as your coaches. As your comeback season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’ Those guys are going to make a complete mockery of the show. I mean, there’s just no entertainment factor there, you know.”
@ColbyCovMMA why you mad? Just take a fight already you little bitch. You literally play a character to stay relevant.
