'The Ultimate Fighter 24' coaches to fight in season finale
Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo will be competing as coaches all summer long during the filming of "The Ultimate Fighter 24" and continue the competition in the Octagon in December.
It was announced Wednesday on "UFC Tonight" that Benavidez and Cejudo will be coaching teams of flyweight contenders before competing at the weight class themselves.
The winner of the 24th season will face Demetrious Johnson in December at the main event of the finale. Benavidez (24-4) and Cejudo (10-1) will fight earlier on the card.
The season's competitors will come from other fighting organizations outside the UFC, but will not be subjected to a tryout, according to MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani.
