The Ultimate Fighter is a show about 16 fighters living in a house together and battling for a six-figure UFC contract. In a few days, it finally goes international.
Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort is expected to co-headline a loaded UFC 147 card on June 16 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, against Wanderlei Silva, “The Axe Murderer.” But before they settle their score, the two will coach teams of eight fighters, with four middleweights and four featherweights per team after the elimination rounds go down.
Of course, before the season begins, we’ll need to get a better idea of the 16 men who will compete for their chance to become the next Ultimate Fighter, as well as the two men that will serve as the head coaches before they compete in Rio.
