Daniel Cormier, Stipe Miocic coaching staffs revealed for ‘The Ultimate Fighter 27’
Heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will square off in a mammoth showdown this summer at UFC 226 – but not before they complete several weeks together as opposing coaches on “The Ultimate Fighter.”
Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) and Cormier (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) will coach 16 undefeated athletes split into two weight classes, with lightweights and featherweights going through the traditional tournament format to win a UFC contract.
The cast for the 27th season of the reality TV series was revealed last week. Now so have the coaching staffs thanks to posts on social media.
Team Miocic consists of Miocic, Chris Camozzi, Dustin Jacoby, James Krause, and Marcus Marinelli (via Twitter).
Team Cormier consists of Cormier, Bob Cook, Javier Mendez, Cain Velasquez, Leandro Vieira, and Deron Winn (via Twitter).
Filming for the series began this week. The show premieres Apr. 18 on FS1 with a two-hour season debut and will conclude July 6 with The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale.
The next night on July 7, Miocic will put his heavyweight title on the line against Cormier in the headliner of UFC 226, which takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view. Prelims are slated for FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
