UFC finally confirms women’s flyweight division launching with ‘Ultimate Fighter’ 26

Let’s try this one more time.

Last week the UFC announced and then retracted plans to launch a women’s flyweight division with season 26 on “The Ultimate Fighter” with filming expected to start in July.

Now the UFC has finally rolled out the plan — again — to kick off the 125-pound women’s division with the new season of the reality show where fighters from outside the UFC as well as competitors currently on the roster can try out for the season that will crown the first ever champion.

Tryouts will be held on May 23 at the Palace Station Hotel in Las Vegas.
