Discuss the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated right here on Bloody Elbow.
A brand new season of The Ultimate Fighter is upon us. Season 27 has something a little bit different, as all of the fighters on the show (lightweights and featherweights) have undefeated professional records. This is why it’s called TUF: Undefeated. Very hard to decipher, I know.
You can catch the premiere tonight (Wednesday, April 18th) at 10 PM ET on Fox Sports 1. Your two coaches are light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and heavyweight king Stipe Miocic, and they will fight for Stipe’s title at UFC 226 on July 7th.
To get yourself up to speed on the cast of TUF 27, check out Victor Rodriguez’s comprehensive preview.
