The Ultimate Fighter: A New World Champion episode 2 live discussion

Tune into FS1 on Wednesday, September 6th at 10 PM ET for the season premiere of The Ultimate Fighter 26, which will crown the inaugural UFC women’s flyweight champion.

A brand new season of The Ultimate Fighter is upon us. Season 26 will be similar to season 20, as TUF introduces a brand new weight class into the UFC. While TUF 20 crowned the inaugural women’s strawweight champion, TUF 26 will culminate in the first ever UFC women’s flyweight champion.

In last week’s season premiere, #1 seed Roxanne Modafferi advanced to the quarterfinals with a ground-and-pound TKO of #16-seed Shana Dobson.

You can catch episode 2 tonight (Wednesday, September 6th) at 10 PM ET on Fox Sports 1. Tonight’s fight will be #4 DeAnna Bennett against #13 Karine Gevorgyan. Your two coaches are lightweight contenders Justin Gaethje and Eddie Alvarez, who will fight each other presumably some time in December.

To get yourself up to speed on the cast of TUF 26, check out Victor Rodriguez’s comprehensive preview.
