[hankmoody]

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Las Vegas – The next season of The Ultimate Fighter ® will feature no shortage of star power as interim UFC® featherweight champion “The Notorious” Conor McGregorcoaches opposite Team Alpha Male’s Urijah Faber on the 22nd edition of the UFC’s storied reality television series.

The Ultimate Fighter®: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber will feature 16 competitors in the lightweight division and, in addition to a UFC contract; national pride will be on the line as McGregor leads eight European hopefuls against the Faber-led American squad. The sixth season to air on FOX Sports 1 will kick-off on Wednesday, September 9 with a two-hour season premiere airing at 10 p.m. ET. The season will continue with 11 one-hour shows Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET. The series is the highest rated and most watched original program since the network’s inception in August 2013.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2013, McGregor (18-2) has taken the MMA world by storm. Declaring in July 2014 “we’re not here to take part; we’re here to take over” when referring to the Irish presence in MMA, the Irish sensation has done exactly that. Originally scheduled to fight Jose Aldoat UFC® 189, McGregor defeated Faber’s friend and training partner Chad Mendes to claim the interim UFC featherweight title last night by second-round TKO. Now he awaits his next fight, a highly anticipated title unification bout with the Aldo in the coming months.

The former WEC featherweight champion, Faber (32-8) has been vocal in his disdain for McGregor. Long considered a pioneer for the lighter weight classes, Faber has assembled one of the top gyms in the sport, Team Alpha Male, featuring UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw, No. 2 flyweightJoseph Benavidez and Mendes. Now, he’ll bring his high-powered team to Las Vegas in hopes of leading the Americans past the Europeans.

Waarom typ je a la Telegraaf de topictitel in hoofdletters, ouwe Wilma Nanninga

[hankmoody]

omdat het goed nieuws is

[hankmoody]

haha was te lui

[Pansier]

Ben ik de enige die het niets vind als de coaches op het einde van het seizoen niet tegen elkaar knokken?

Vindt het ook niks, maar Aldo kan nauwelijks Engels anders hadden ze vast Aldo vs Conor gedaan met afsluitend de titlefight.

[viTRTor]

2 nederlanders in de cast, Djamil Chan n Paulo Boer. Hopen dat ze het huis halen.

[Suplex]

Deze uitzendingen komen toch ook gewoon op fight pass?

[viTRTor]

Ja, woensdagnacht de eerste geloof ik. De partijen waren zes weken terug dus wie weet hebben we ondertussen een nieuwe nederlandse ufc vechter.

[viTRTor]

[Bromios]

ff een video topic en een discussie topic aanmaken ?
Kan wel weer een leuke worden dit.

Waarschijnlijk hebben ze het niet gehaald gezien hun activiteit op sociale media ten tijden van de opnames.

[Wheelie]

TTT, ben toch wel benieuwd naar de eerste aflevering

[BIG Lebowski]

Iemand bevestiging dat Djamil en Paulo het wel/niet gehaald hebben?

[viTRTor]

Als dat naar buiten komt hebben die jongens een rechtzaak aan hun broek die je echt niet wil...

[ChingChong]

Wanneer worden die partijen uitgezonden?

[Kingbalotelli]

Iemand bevestiging dat Djamil en Paulo het wel/niet gehaald hebben?

Kan je morgen zien. En ik ben er 99% zeker van dat ze het niet hebben gehaald. Ook in de promofilm zie je ze bijv niet.

Maar weet iemand of ze tuf afleveringen ook meteen uploaden op mmanext of fightnex bijv? Ben namelijk niet van plan te wachten tot maandag om het op fox sports nl te zien

Djamil Chan

SPOILER

Another Team Europe fight and it's Djamil Chan (19-2), who admits he loves to hurt people. He also promises a "spectacular fight" against Marcin Wrzosek (10-2). The only thing spectacular was how badly he lost by getting tapped out.
Wrzosek def. Chan via submission (rear-naked choke)

Paulo Boer

SPOILER

Moving on and it's time for England's Saul Rogers (10-1) to face Paulo Boer (10-1-1) from Holland. Boer gives some snotty pre-fight interview then proceeds to get choked out. Dear fighters who are not yet in UFC: Zip your lips!
Rogers def. Boer via submission (rear-naked choke)
