EXCLUSIVE: 10 names slated for the upcoming Ultimate Fighter cast
Now that Conor McGregor & Michael Chandler have been officially announced as coaches for TUF 31, filming is officially underway and we await May 30th for the first episode to air. We do know the weight classes that are going to be featured, and we also know the theme we could be seeing.
With UFC likely to announce the cast during UFC 284 or their upcoming UFC Fight Night card, we thought we’d share some names floating around for the final casting list…
LIGHTWEIGHTS:
- Brandon Jenkins
- Jason Knight
- Kurt Holobaugh
- Nate Jennerman
- Kenny Cross
- Cristian Perez
- Mitch Ramirez
BANTAMWEIGHTS:
- Anthony Birchak
- Mando Gutierrez
- Cody Gibson
Historically, we see a total of 16 fighters on the show, 8 per division, so there are still more names to be announced. Alternates are also set in the event of an injury happens or a fighter misses weight.
Now that we know the majority of details about the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, are you excited for it? Let us know in the comments.
