“The Ultimate Fighter” will be returning to screens for the first time since 2018, and now we know the names of those who will be vying for a UFC contract on the long-running reality show.
The Las Vegas-based promotion on Saturday revealed the bantamweight and middleweight casts for “TUF 29,” which will air on ESPN+ on Tuesdays beginning June 1. Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and current No. 1 contender Brian Ortega will serve as opposing coaches on the show before squaring off with championship gold on the line at a later date.
The bantamweight lineup is an experienced group that features Dana White’s Contender Series alums Vince Murdock and Ricky Turcios as well as former M-1 Global and World Series of Fighting title challenger Joshua Rettinghouse.
