Yahoo Sports Cody Garbrandt and TJ Dillashaw Reveal Their TUF 25 Coaching Staffs
The upcoming twenty-fifth season of The Ultimate Fighter features bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt coaching opposite his former teammate and former champion TJ Dillashaw. The two will then fight at the end of the season.
Garbrandt and Dillashaw will lead a cast of welterweights who all have redemption on their mind. Every member of the TUF 25 cast, including one athlete on the current UFC roster and previous Ultimate Fighter winners, have competed on a previous season of the show, and will look to prove they belong in the upper echelon of one of UFC’s most stacked divisions.
