The Ultimate Fighter Season 31 – Details
It was revealed that The Ultimate Fighter Season 31 was going to employ male bantamweights and lightweights. Initially, the UFC did not have plans to bring the set of coaches that we just mentioned. The creators were planning to have Justin Gaethje as well as Dustin Poirier, who are the UFC Lightweight Champions. Although, Poirier did not accept the opportunity and denied being on the screen.
At the beginning of the season, we see that both coaches unite on the screen at the UFC Apex. They are obviously eager to fight with each other, and things might be taking a new turn right now.
