Season 14 of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ will feature featherweight and bantamweight fighters. Sixteen fighters have been announced for each division, though only eight per weight class will make it into the ‘TUF’ house after a round of elimination bouts.
As these divisions are not yet fully established in the UFC, the average ranking of contestants going into the show is somewhat higher than we’ve seen in the previous seasons.
