As part of the reality show, Pendred, Fields and the other 14 contestants will be divided into two teams, coached by MMA legends BJ Penn and Frankie Edgar, who will battle it out in a tournament to decide who should win the ultimate prize of a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
As well as that, the contestants will live together and train together during the competition, with the winner having to come out on top in four fights over a six-week period, an ordeal that Chael Sonnen once said was “tougher than any other tournament in sports”.
Speaking to JOE last year, Pendred declared his intention not only to try out for The Ultimate Fighter, but also confidently predicted that he would end up winning the whole thing, an attitude that will hopefully serve him well through the duration of the upcoming season.
Here’s wishing himself and Chris the very best of luck.Explore more on these topics:
