According to Joe, the coaches for the 24th season of the Ultimate Fighter will be middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and No. 1 contender Paulo Costa.

The fight never came to fruition due to Paulo asking for a significant purse. Costa was asking for a 15 million payday to fight the champion.
The Ultimate Fighter is the UFC reality show that has continued for 23 seasons. The UFC has been teasing a new season for a few months now. UFC President, Dana White, had revealed the intent of bringing The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) earlier this year.
“TUF is coming back SOON,” White posted during an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit last month.
This is a very exciting time for the UFC. Due to the pandemic, the UFC has adapted and they are putting as many fights as possible and matching up against opponents who are ready to fight at any time and anyplace.
