The much-discussed The Ultimate Fighter Brazil will finally see the light of day this Sunday, debuting on a UFC-owned microsite at 11:30 PM EST. The show will be subtitled in English and will also debut on Brazil network Globo Sunday following Big Brother.
Per the norm, fighters will have to compete to make it into the TUF house and unlike this season’s American version, the weight classes will be middleweights and featherweights. Vitor Belfort and Wanderlei Silva will be the coaches, leading to a clash this summer in Brazil that looks to finally have a home.
