For the first time, The Ultimate Fighter features mixed martial artists from Mexico and Latin America, eight featherweights and eight bantamweights are divided into teams representing Mexico and Latin America and coached by heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, and his number one contender, Fabricio Werdum. Over the course of twelve weeks, they live in the same house, and train to fight each other in the octagon, with different backgrounds and cultures but with one dream in mind, to win a contract with the UFC.
