Spike TV and the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Monday announced a casting call for season eight of “The Ultimate Fighter.” The tryouts are scheduled to take place on April 10 in Boston at the Sheraton Boston Hotel.
Unlike season seven, which is comprised entirely of middleweight fighters, the casting call for season eight calls for fighters from both the lightweight (155-pound) and light heavyweight (205-pound) weight classes.
No indication was given as to how many fighters would be chosen for the season eight. Nor was it stated whether or not the fighters would have to take part in the new “fight-off” format that will kick-off season seven.
UFC president Dana White, The Ultimate Fighter executive producer Craig Piligian, and Spike TV senior vice president Brian Diamond will oversee the tryouts.
