Thrilling lightweights Justin Gaethje (18-0) and Eddie Alvarez (28-5, 1 NC) will coach opposite each other on season 26 on The Ultimate Fighter.
Confirmation of the news came earlier today from the UFC president himself, Dana White, during an interview between he and MMA Fighting’s Luke Thomas. “It’s 100% true,” White said at the Mayweather-McGregor press conference in Los Angeles, California. White also stated that filming for the upcoming season has already begun.
The Ultimate Fighter 26 will air on Fox Sports 1, but there has yet to be a confirmed release date.
