Hard to believe we already at the 25th season of “The Ultimate Fighter”. The reality show is going back an old concept called “Redemption” consisting of 14 fighters who were in the UFC except for one fighter looking to get another chance to fight in the top MMA organization in the world.
The key names on the show are “TUF 2” season winner Joe Stevenson and “TUF 14″ winner Eddie Gordon.
The one fighter who isn’t looking to get back in the UFC is James Krause, who currently is in the promotion and coming off back-to-back wins over Daron Cruickshank and Shane Campbell. Krause hasn’t fought since Feb. 2016 due to a personal reason and then a torn hamstring.
Coaches on the show are UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt and former 135-pound champ and teammate at Team Alpha Male TJ Dillashaw.
“TUF 25: Redemption” begins on April 19 on Fox Sports 1.
Here are the fighters who will be on “TUF 25: Redemption”:
Seth Baczynski, Medhi Baghdad, Tom Gallicchio, Justin Edwards, Eddie Gordon, Hayder Hassan, Julian Lane, Dhiego Lima, Ramsey Nijem, Gilbert Smith, Joe Stevenson, Jesse Taylor, and Hector Urbina.
