Hello friends of the forum that accompany this dynasty, this season will be the 21th, The Ultimate Fighter wanted to tell you, participating in or viewing.

In this new season, I choose two friends to be coaches, I do so ...

I will make 3 editions of The Ultimate Fighter, when in early March will be released coaches and the cast of fighters.

Who wants to be one of the coaches of the season just apply ... the first two will be chosen.

After this, the first candidate will coach the red corner, and the second will be the blue corner.

Then the coaches will choose the color of their teams.

For the division of teams, I will ask that coaches analyze the fighters available, and choose, in order of highest to lowest, all fighters. Once you are in the annotations of the coaches, will distribute the fighters. The coach who start picking, you will lose the right of choice of the first fight.

In the case of, for example, in some round the coaches choose the same fighter, the preference will be the coach who won the choice of fighters.

After the season, the coach who has the fighter champion will be the winner of the season, and will have preference to participate in the next edition.

I'll wait for candidates for one week, if there is no participantsI will normally make the season.

I count on the collaboration of friends accompanying the dynasty.
