Straying from the normal format and surely likely to cause more than a few head scratches, Ultimate Fighting Championship and Spike TV officials today confirmed that the upcoming 11th season of “The Ultimate Fighter” will feature 28 middleweight fighters.
The show traditionally features 16 or 32 competitors because of its single-elimination tournament format, though officials promise a “new format” that will be revealed during the show’s March 31 debut.
“TUF 11,” which features former champs Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz as coaches, today went into production.
