The Ultimate Fighter 29 Rosters Released and Date Announced

The Ultimate Fighter is finally back! TUF 29 streams live on ESPN+ starting June 1st after being off the air for years now. The wildly popular MMA show pits a roster of up-and-coming prospects against each other and has them living together in a house in Las Vegas for months during the filming of the show.

After years of UFC president Dana White repeatedly stating the reality series would eventually relaunch, the wheels are fully in motion. The 16 selected bantamweights and middleweights have made their way to Las Vegas.

Coaches

TUF 29 will be coached by UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (22-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) and his next title challenger, Brian Ortega (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC).
