The Ultimate Fighter returns this month with its 21st installment of the long-running series. The show changes up its format for this season, as it goes with a gym vs. gym layout that should be a nice shakeup to the series.
This season will take place in Florida, as rival gyms American Top team and the Blackzilians will compete against one another. The rivalry stems from a few years ago, when a group of fighters from ATT defected from Dan Lambert’s camp to form the Blackzilian team and the gym, which is owned by Glenn Robinson.
This split has caused much tension and a bitter rivalry between teams, something that should boil over on screen. With that tension, we should be able to have an entertaining season of fights featuring 16 welterweights that have a chance for a total prize of $500,000 for their gym when it’s all said and done.
With that, let’s take a look into this season, break things down and check out the favorite and darkhorses for TUF 21.
