Tune into FS1 on Wednesday, August 29th at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT for the premiere of The Ultimate Fighter: Heavy Hitters, with coaches Kelvin Gastelum and Robert Whittaker.
Yes, The Ultimate Fighter still exists. And it may even exist into 2019. Season 28 features the notoriously stacked women’s featherweight and heavyweight divisions, dubbed “Heavy Hitters.” The youngest heavyweights are all 28 years old, and the oldest is 37. This is extremely heavyweight. A few of the women’s featherweights here are bantamweights, and some have competed at flyweight. This is likely not a sign that they’ll be at W145 after the show is over.
You can discuss the season premiere tonight (Wednesday, August 29th) at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT on FS1. These shows used to be two-hours for the premiere, but this is merely one hour.
