The season debut of “The Ultimate Fighter 26” is less than a month away, and and more details are emerging.

On Saturday the UFC announced the 16-fighter cast for “TUF 26” which crowns the organization’s inaugural women’s flyweight champion.

The cast, which coaches and UFC lightweight contenders Eddie Alvarez (25-8 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and Justin Gaethje (18-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) head, features a mix of former/current UFC fighters, notable veterans and less-established names.
