If there is any consolation, no
Ultimate Fighting Championship title will be tied up this
season.

The latest season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” its 34th numbered
season, will commence this summer. The first episode will launch on
June 14, the date of the UFC White House event, with the rest of
the episodes coming out via Paramount+ on Tuesdays until it
concludes. The UFC issued a press release regarding this latest
season of the reality show, one that has served as the catalyst for
many a high-level career ranging from T.J.
Dillashaw and Rose
Namajunas to Forrest
Griffin and Rashad
Evans. It has not yet indicated the Finale date.

Season 34 will be titled “Team Cormier vs. Team Bisping” because of
its coaches, Daniel
Cormier and Michael
Bisping. The former coached Season 33 against Chael Sonnen
in 2025 and his team ended up winning the welterweight bracket,
while Sonnen and pupil Joseph
Morales took home the six-figure contract for their side. This
season will feature eight men’s bantamweights and eight women’s
strawweights to tie the teams together, with the standard style of
them living in a house together amidst shenanigans and tomfoolery
fully intact.

No strangers to TUF

This will be the third season that former two-division champion and
UFC Hall of Fame inductee Cormier has coached. He made his TUF
coaching debut opposite Stipe
Miocic in 2018 prior to their meeting at UFC 226 that
July—where Cormier’s fighter Brad Katona
ran the table at featherweight while Cormier punched out Miocic to
secure his second divisional title.

Bisping made his bones on TUF, first appearing on the third season
back in 2006 as an undefeated light heavyweight on Tito Ortiz’
team. Ortiz crushed that season, with Ken Shamrock
only having one athlete in a division’s finals: Ed Herman, who
ultimate lost a decision to Kendall
Grove for the trophy and contract. The Brit gave back to TUF in
2011 when he coached against Jason Miller
as they split the season at one win apiece.
