The UFC are finally ready to unleash an international edition of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ series in China.
TUF: China will air on LiaoNing TV in the country and try-outs for the show will be happening in the coming months in Beijing, Singapore and Macau in order to round up the best Chinese talent available.
They are also casting a wide net by focusing on three different weight classes – featherweight, lightweight and welterweight.
The Chinese market could be huge for the UFC, but there’s a big question mark over how much fighting talent they can unearth in the region with only two fighters from China currently signed to the UFC, so it’ll be interesting to see how this version of TUF plays out.
