The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): Season 31 returned this week for the 10th time this season with an important episode in the context of the bantamweight tournament. Timur Valiev and Bard Katona, a pair of UFC veterans and two of the brightest fighters in the tournament, square off with a spot in the tournament finals – and the potential for a second chance in the UFC – on the line.
Katona will be reunited with real-life head coach John Kavanaugh and training partner Conor McGregor, per UFC President Dana White giving the fighters the option to change allegiances.
