Summary
"The Ultimate Fighter" is shaking up its lineup this season by bringing Hall of Fame fighters Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen under its coaching microscope, marking a departure from its traditional format where active fighters coach-up UFC hopefuls. The show will air its first episode on May 27 on ESPN2 and ESPN+, focusing instead on the experience and expertise of its coaches as it looks to produce a competitive crop of fighters. With Cormier and Sonnen at the helm, the season promises fresh dynamics and high-caliber training, promising to deliver an exciting lineup of flyweight and welterweight contenders.
