The Ultimate Fighter has been a launching pad for many UFC stars, but not all winners have had a smooth journey in the promotion. Brad Katona, the winner of TUF 27, was unexpectedly cut from the UFC in 2020. However, Katona didn’t let that setback discourage him. He went on to join Brave CF and had an impressive run, winning all four of his fights. In a surprising turn of events, he appeared on TUF 31 and emerged victorious in the finale. Now, Katona is back in the UFC and ready to prove himself once again. He is set to face Garrett Armfield at UFC 297, where he aims to make a statement and move closer to the bantamweight title.
The Ultimate Fighter, a reality TV show co-produced by Zuffa, has been instrumental in the success of the UFC. The show follows the journey of UFC stars coaching rival teams of non-UFC mixed martial artists, with the winners earning a contract with the UFC. Over the years, fighters like Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, Michael Bisping, and Forrest Griffin have emerged from the show and made a name for themselves in the promotion. However, not all TUF winners have had smooth sailing in their UFC careers. One such fighter is Brad Katona, who despite winning TUF 27, was cut from the promotion in 2020. But Katona didn’t let that setback define him. He continued to showcase his skills in other promotions, including a successful stint in Brave CF. And now, after being re-signed by the UFC, Katona is ready to prove that he belongs among the best in the world. In his upcoming fight against Garrett Armfield at UFC 297, Katona aims to make a statement and inch closer to the bantamweight title.
