During last night’s UFC On FOX 8 broadcast we got to see the first preview from the new season of The Ultimate Fighter 18 starring Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate as coaches and you can now watch the promo below.

As expected it looks like there’s plenty of drama between the two rivals on the show which should help the ratings and fuel interest in a rematch between the two which will take place at the blockbuster UFC 168 end-of-year pay-per-view event.

The season also features a cast of both male and female bantamweight fighters battling it out to become the next TUF stars.

Speaking after last night’s FOX show UFC President Dana White appeared excited for the upcoming season noting that he’d had a chance to watch the first couple of episodes and felt the first was “great” and the second was “amazing.”

You’ll be able to judge for yourselves when the show premieres over on it’s new TV home at FOX Sports 1 beginning on Wednesday, September 4th.

Over the years I've watched the UFC develop into the powerhouse it is today, organizations like PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC rise and fall, and Bellator emerge as a new force on the MMA landscape. Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
