While the score is nearly even between Team Alvarez and Team Gaethje heading into the sixth episode of “The Ultimate Fighter 26,” the winners thus far have not exactly advanced according to seeding.
No. 1 seed Roxanne Modafferi, No. 4 seed DeAnna Bennett and No. 6 seed Montana Stewart moved passed their opponents with relative ease, but No. 12 seed Sijara Eubanks and No. 14 seed Nicco Montano turned the tournament upside down; Montano defeated No. 3 seed Lauren Murphy and Eubanks took out No. 5 seed Maia Stevenson.
