“The Ultimate Fighter Brazil: Team Wanderlei vs. Team Sonnen,” the third installment of the Brazilian version of the “TUF” reality series, will stream exclusively on UFC Fight Pass, officials today announced.
That means the new digital network – and not FOX Sports 1 or FOX Sports 2 – will carry the series, which debuts Sunday, March 9, at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT) with UFC veterans Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen serving as head coaches of opposing teams.
Subsequent episodes will be available during the same time slot.
Filming is underway on the show, which broadcasts on Globo in Brazil. The show features middleweight and heavyweight UFC hopefuls, who will compete in tournaments to crown show champions as they vie for UFC contracts.
In addition to the actual reality show, UFC Fight Pass will also carry a behind-the-scenes show featuring Sonnen, dubbed “Six Weeks with Sonnen.” A preview is available above.
UFC Fight Pass, which also streams some UFC events (and preliminary-card specials for televised events) is currently available in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand and Australia at $9.99 per month. The service will be rolled out in other markets “shortly,” according to today’s announcement.
