Former UFC flyweight title contenders Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo will lead a cast of 125-pound fighters as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 24.
The announcement was made during Wednesday night’s episode of “UFC Tonight.”
Benavidez and Cejudo, who have both fought – and lost – to current champion Demetrious Johnson, will coach 16 flyweights from several organizations around the world. The winner will receive a title fight at The Ultimate Fighter Finale in December vs. Johnson.
For their efforts, Benavidez and Cejudo will meet in the co-main event that same evening.
