UFC executive Marshall Zelaznik today declared the debut season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil,” which concludes at Saturday’s UFC 147 event in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, a resounding success and said the promotion is already planning on a second edition of the series.
“We do anticipate another season,” Zelaznik today told MMAjunkie.com. “It’s certain that we’ll do it.
Zelaznik said the second edition of the series will likely take place in 2013, with the show following a similar schedule to this season’s debut, which featured Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort as coaches of 32 prospective UFC fighters.
“We don’t have coaches identified or weight classes yet,” Zelaznik said. “You can expect that ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ season will come back, and we’ll do more tryouts. The timing of that is probably just like this season, so we’ll start filming around January and be on air in March.”
