On Tuesday, April 12, the UFC announced via a brief press release that the April 25 tryouts for the 24th season on The Ultimate Fighter had been canceled.
UFC announced today that the open casting call for the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter originally scheduled for April 25 in Las Vegas has been canceled. UFC apologizes for any inconveniences this cancellation has caused. More information about the next season of the show will be made available in the weeks to come.
The lack of explanation was puzzling.
Canceling the tryout within two weeks doubtless means that some fighters are out a non refundable ticket. It also likely means that the show has troubles of its own.
TUF 24 was originally announced as a season with 16 flyweight competitors, with the winner getting a title shot. It was not known if current UFC flyweights could join the cast. it was not known at this point whether that is still be the case, or, really, much of anything.
