Former UFC champions and UFC hall of famers Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping will serve as opposing coaches on the upcoming season of TUF 34 on Paramount+, premiering on Sunday, June 14, 2026 before the Freedom 250 White House event in Washington, DC
.New episodes will premiere every Tuesday thereafter for the remainder of the 12-episode season.
TUF 34: Team Cormier vs. Team Bisping will feature 16 men’s bantamweight (135 lbs.) and women’s strawweight (115 lbs.) prospects competing for a spot on
the UFC roster. I guess you really have to love reality show drama to be excited for this series following the creation of “Contender Series.”
Great fights, no manufactured bullish*t.
This marks the third time Cormier and Bisping will serve as TUF coaches. Personally, it’s been hard to get invested in the coaches, regardless of star power, because they no longer fight one another at the end of the show. Weekly bickering and a one-off coach’s challenge hardly qualifies as must-see TV.
Speaking of the glory days, past seasons of TUF will be available on Paramount+ beginning in late May.
