While the title of the next season of The Ultimate Fighter is called “Heavy Hitters,” it’s not going to be focused just on the heavyweight division.
With news that middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum are set to coach TUF 28, it’s also been confirmed via press release that both heavyweight and women’s featherweight fights are set to compete on the show. Those were the two weight classes that had tryouts earlier this year, but tryouts don’t necessarily confirm that those divisions will make the cut to be on the program.
TUF 28 rosters have not yet been announced.
