The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team Dos Santos Fighters Unveiled

News, Top Story

Today, Spike TV officially unveiled the 14-person welterweight (170 lbs.) cast for “The Ultimate Fighter 13.” The 13th season of the competition/reality series debuts March 30th on Spike at a new time 9 PM ET/8 PM ET with heavyweight coaches Brock Lesnar and Junior Dos Santos facing off as coaches.

This season, UFC official removed the “elimination” round of the show so that fighters won’t have to fight their way into the house and secure a spot in the cast. Check out the exclusive video reveal at UltimateFighter.com.

Check out the fighter’s full list and biographical information below. “TUF 13” began production last month in Las Vegas with the 14 fighters split into two teams competing in a tournament format. Once again, producers elected for a “wild card” bout to give one pair of eliminated fighters a second opportunity to fight in the quarterfinal round of the tournament.
