“The Ultimate Fighter” is back for a 30th season.
UFC women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Peña and women’s featherweight champion Amanda Nunes will coach teams comprised of four women’s flyweights and four men’s heavyweights, sources with knowledge of the show recently told MMA Junkie. MMA reporter Ariel Helwani first reported Peña and Nunes were the frontrunners to be coaches on the show.
Contestants and alternates already are in Las Vegas with medicals and COVID-19 testing underway. Filming is expected to begin mid-February. The season’s roster has not been publicly released.
