One of the seasons of the UFC reality show most shrouded in controversy, TUF 17, has a date to begin.
According to an ad in the UFC’s magazine, UFC 360, the show, which began shooting in October, will premier on television on Tuesday, Jan. 22. The information has yet to be confirmed by the UFC and FOX.
In a decision that drew criticism from light heavyweight fighters, Chael Sonnen was picked to coach opposite Jon Jones for the upcoming season. Accordingly, Sonnen will wrap up the show with a shot at the dominant champion’s belt.
What are your thoughts? Will Sonnen only stand out for his diatribes, or will he teach some useful lessons on the show? Comment below.
