The UFC will look for its next reality-show fighters – both male and female – next month at open tryouts for “The Ultimate Fighter 26.” Officials today announced a call for female strawweights (115 pounds) and bantamweights (135 pounds), as well as male middleweights (185 pounds). However, as we’ve learned in past seasons, there’s no guarantee those weight classes will officially be chosen for the show. The tryouts take place May 23 at Palace Station Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and they begin at 8 a.m. PT (local time). “TUF 26” begins filming in July and debuts on FS1 later this year, likely in September. Head coaches, who are usually established UFC fighters, have not been announced.
