Las VegasThe Ultimate Fighter celebrates its 20th year anniversary with an exciting new season featuring a pair of UFC Hall of Fame coaches and co-hosts of ESPN’s Good Guy/Bad Guy, as former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight title challenger Chael Sonnen go head-to-head. The series is set to exclusively debut on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes on Tuesday, May 27, and will also be available on ESPN+.


20 Years of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Cormier vs. Team Sonnen will feature 16 men’s flyweight and welterweight prospects embarking to pursue their UFC dreams.

The entire 12-episode season will be available exclusively on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, with one episode dropping each Tuesday beginning May 27at 10pm ET/7pm PT. Episodes will be available to stream on demand on ESPN+. In addition, UFC fans can re-watch all 32 previous seasons of TUF on ESPN+.

Produced by Lionsgate Alternative Television’s Pilgrim Media Group, the iconic reality series has introduced a wide array of fans – from die-hard to brand new – to UFC and served as a springboard for the career of numerous fighters who went on to be UFC champions, contenders and stars, including: Kamaru Usman, Tony Ferguson, T.J. Dillashaw, Rose Namajunas, Michael Bisping, Nate Diaz, Michael Chiesa , Kelvin Gastelum, Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Uriah Hall and Conor McGregor, who was a coach in TUF 22 and TUF 31.
 
If theres someone in the lightweight divisions that could stylistically beat DC its Chael. He's actually bigger than DC so we'll see what happens. lol
 
Lol what? They're not fighting bruh.

Glad to see they have mature guys that can actually coach instead of the usual drama bullshit
AH my bad. Would have been hilarious if they did. lol
 
Even though they aren't fighting, I can see Chael getting under DC's skin. DC doesn't seem like a bad guy but he seems to have a limit and I think his all round good guy persona will start to crack.

that will be a fun dynamic. Chael is a master at getting on people's nerves.
 
The UFC posted CFFC fights of Bilal Hasan and Armando Gjetja on the UFC Fight Pass Youtube Channel
 
Cool for Donchenko
 
DC says WWE Superstar Julius Creed — real name Jacob Kasper will be part of his coaching staff.


Cormier also brought in UFC veteran Michael Chiesa as well as two very experienced head coaches in Bob Cook, who works out of American Kickboxing Academy, and John Wood, who owns and operates Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas.

Cormier also included his longtime boxing coach Rosendo Sanchez and kickboxing veteran Tiago Beowulf.

Will be rooting for the Indian chap @ Flyweight.
 
Alibi Idiris or Imanol
Rooting for Donchenko and Sezinando at WW, Doncheno might be too small
 


Pretty stacked season


This is stacked? God damn, the only guys who's a top shelf prospsct is Alibi Idiris and he's already pushing 30. At 125 Daniyar Toychubek and Bilal Hasan are the best guys they could sign, i expected Jeremy Del La Mata or Oscar Miguel. At WW no Michael Oliveira? No Samandar or Khotam? No Kubanza? Sean Clancy Jr? Sucks.
