The Ultimate Fighter 34 Sets June 14 Paramount+ Debut With Coaches Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping

The move signals a nostalgia-driven push to boost a legacy show during Freedom 250 week.

Overview

  • UFC announced Thursday that Season 34 will stream on Paramount+ starting June 14, the same day as the Freedom 250 event at the White House.
  • Twelve episodes are planned, with new installments dropping every Tuesday in the U.S., Latin America, and Australia after the premiere.
  • Hall of Famers Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping will coach 16 prospects across men’s bantamweight (135 lbs) and women’s strawweight (115 lbs) as they compete for UFC contracts.
  • Cormier becomes the first coach to serve in back-to-back seasons, and the retired pair will not meet in a coaches’ bout.
  • Paramount+ will add past TUF seasons in late May, as coverage notes fan pushback over recycled coaches and questions about the show’s place alongside Dana White’s Contender Series.
