TUF 34 adds women's strawweight to casting call

UFC announced casting for The Ultimate Fighter Season 34 begins today, March 2, through March 27, targeting men's bantamweight and women's strawweight fighters via remote applications at ufc.ac/tufapplication. Finalists to be selected by April 3, 2026, with coaches TBA. The revival on Paramount+ continues despite criticism for its outdated format amid Contender Series dominance. No heavyweight inclusion disappoints amid division needs. This could unearth new talent for these competitive divisions, impacting future UFC rosters and rankings.
