TUF 32 is set to begin filming shortly, and all the info that fans need to know is below.
Earlier this year, Dana White and the company announced plans to hold the 32nd season of 'The Ultimate Fighter'. The reality competition that began in 2005 is still going strong nearly two decades later. Last season saw the return of Conor McGregor, who coached against Michael Chandler.
This year's edition will instead feature the ladies in the coaching role. Women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso is set to coach the show against rival Valentina Shevchenko. The Mexican fighter submitted 'Bullet' last March to win the gold, but they fought to a controversial draw later in the year.
