The show will continue in that timeslot until the season’s conclusion on December 5th.
The cast features 8 middleweights and 8 welterweights, with Ross Pearson coaching the UK team, while George Sotiropoulos will oversses the Aussies, and according to Dana White it’s a great season of the show.
“These guys have definitely made the second international ‘TUF’ show can’t-miss TV,” White claims. “Going into this thing, I had no idea just how much the Aussies and the Brits can’t stand losing to each other. Now I know.”
Those outside of the UK and Australia will also be able to stream the weekly shows by visiting tuf.tv.
