The next season of “The Ultimate Fighter” returns in May, with filming commencing this month after the UFC officially named women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Pena and Amanda Nunes as coaches.
Their presence on the show, which will feature heavyweights and women’s flyweights, sets up the immediate rematch for the 135-pound title, with Nunes saying she’s out to prove she’s better than Peña and Peña wanting to prove that her first finishing win wasn’t a fluke.
The rivalry is almost sure to heat up in this environment? So on a scale from 1-10, how fired up are you? Did the UFC pick the right coaching matchup? Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Nolan King, Danny Segura and Matthew Wells answered that with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
You can watch their discussion in the video above or check out this week’s full episode below.
