“The Ultimate Fighter” returns for its 32nd season and 19th year since its debut in 2005. While the concept of the show has evolved, the format has remained relatively the same.
16 fighters from two pisions are pided into teams coached by two UFC champions. From the first episode to the last, the fighters eat, sleep and train together to compete inside the UFC octagon at the end of the season and earn a six-figure contract with the promotion.
The 2024 edition of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ of UFC APEX in Las Vegas brings to the fore a compelling flyweight rivalry between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko. These two fighters, who have already shared the cage twice, are ready to light up the octagon with their mirror image styles. Grasso defeated Shevchenko at UFC 285 in March 2023 to win the flyweight belt, and their rematch at ‘UFC Night’ ended in a draw, setting the stage for an epic trilogy fight.
This season will focus on the men’s featherweight and middleweight pisions. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch TUF season 32.
