The UFC first dabbled in international “Ultimate Fighter” expansion during the show’s ninth season, which featured teams from the United States and the United Kingdom going head-to-head. Since that time, the organization has launched three international iterations of the show, two of which took place in Brazil. Two more series are currently forthcoming, as the U.S.-based “TUF 18” will debut in September, while a series pitting Canada against Australia is planned for next year.
