Tragedy struck the UFC 260 card when Volkanovski vs. Ortega was postponed due to a positive COVID-19 test for Volk, but the card still powered through.

The fight has been shortly rebooked, sort of.

The hit reality show The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) has had its return teased for quite a few months now, and we have finally got our coaching assignments. Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega are currently signed on as opposing coaches for the 29th season.

The show has not been on since Fall of 2019 when it took a prolonged hiatus due to lowered viewership, but the promotion made their plans clear to bring it back.

The upcoming 29th has been titled “The Ultimate Fighter Returns” and will feature contestants from the Men’s Bantamweight (135 lbs) and Middleweight (185 lbs) divisions.
