Season 25 of The Ultimate Fighter is nearing its premiere date (April 19th, by the way), and the UFC is already working on getting talent for TUF 26.
In an official UFC press release sent out on Thursday, tryouts for the next TUF season will include fighters from middleweight, as well as the women’s strawweight and bantamweight divisions. This is similar to the TUF 23 tryouts, which had the same women’s divisions but the men’s tryouts were for light heavyweight. The UFC ultimately chose to center that season around light heavyweight and women’s strawweight, with Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Claudia Gadelha serving as the team coaches.
