The Ultimate Fighter is back, featuring middleweight and bantamweight tournaments to earn UFC contracts. The two teams are coached by UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, and former title challenger Brian Ortega.
At 185 pounds, the eight-man tournament began with a matchup between Team Ortega’s Andre Petroski and Team Volkanovski’s Aaron Phillips. Fighting out of Renzo Gracie in Philadelphia, Petroski should be one of the favorites to come through the bracket, based on his wrestling pedigree.
