The second edition of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brasil” will debut later this month and the UFC has announced the cast for the show.
This season will feature 28 welterweight fighters and the coaches on this season are UFC heavyweights Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Fabricio Werdum.
The first two episodes will feature the 14 preliminary card bouts and the winners will move into The Ultimate Fighter house and be split into two teams.
“I think the level this season is extremely high. I’m confident that apart from the season winner we will be sending a lot of great fighters to the UFC in the future. Basically, we have the very elite of Brazilian MMA welterweights in front of us”, said Rodrigo Minotauro.
