We are now only a few weeks away from the new season of the Ultimate Fighter, which is helped by UFC veterans Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen as the two opposite coaches.
Although Sonnen has chosen to set up in a controversial UFC community service, the former double champion instead brought his team of coaches in a different direction.
In addition to various well-known MMA trainers, Daniel Cormier has now added a WWE superster to his selection; Someone who has more than enough experience to help DC win the victory over his ESPN Showco host.

Daniel Cormier adds WWE star to his corner for TUF season 33
Season 33 represents the third time that Chael has played Sonnen as a Tuf coach; After taking on Jon Jones on season 17 (2013) and Wanderlei Silva at the Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3 (2014).
Daniel Cormier has also presented as a coach in the HIT Reality TV program before; Opposite Stipe Miocic on season 27 in 2018.
That season was steeped in rivalry, although there is an argument that Cormier will be even more tidal to get one left for his good guy/villain gastheer.
In an attempt to stimulate his chances, Cormier has now drawn up in Jacob Kasper, better known under his stage name on the WWE schedule as Julius Creed, who is half of the tag team 'American Made'.
While Kasper is currently stopping his trade on the WWE circuit, he has more than enough experience in real combat sports to help Cormier claim the victory over TUF 33.
He was not only a collegial and amateur wrestler at Duke University, but also a pretty accomplished, achieving the NCAA all-American status not once, but twice.
Kasper was also involved in the Cormier training camp for his fight against Jon Jones.
Also at Cormier is kickboxing veteran Tiago Beowulf, boxing trainer Rosendo Sanchez, the American kickboxing academy coach Bob Cook, Syndicate MMA -Coach John Wood, as well as popular UFC -Welterweight Michael Chiesa.
Who is in the Chael Sonen team for the Ultimate Fighter 33?
From February, four members of Sonnen's own team have been confirmed: Clayton Hires, Stephen Smith, Vinny Magalhaes and Colby Covington.
Speaking with MMA Junkie, Sonnen explained the decision to bring 'chaos' to the mix.
“Colby is such a great mentor for people, this is what people don't know about him, but he does all this on the side.
“He has guided and coached many people; He does not want people to know that he is a nice guy, so I'm not going to ruin his gimmick, but he is going to do fantastic work. “
The Ultimate Fighter Season 33 is planned to premiere its first episode on Tuesday 27 May 2025.
The new season includes a total of 12 episodes, each of which will be broadcast on Tuesday at 10 p.m. and 7 p.m. PT via ESPN+, ESPN 2, UFC Fight Pass and ESPN Deportes.
