The Ultimate Fighter 30: Featherweights

Coaches:

Conor McGregor
Tony Ferguson

Fighters:

AJ McKee (18-0) - The undefeated son of former UFC fighter, Antonio McKee. AJ has amassed an impressive run of wins in his relatively young career, with wins over Pat Curran, Georgi Karakhanyan and Henry Corrales. He is already ranked as the #22 Featherweight in the world.
Andre Harrison (22-2-1) - A 35 year old New Yorker with plenty of experience in MMA, he is the most recent PFL Featherweight champion and former ROC and Titan FC Featherweight champion, vacating both belts without losing them.
Daniel Straus (27-10) - Straus is a former Bellator Featherweight champion, who has had some amazing battles with Pat Curran (twice) and Bellator Featherweight GOAT, Patricio Freire (four times). He also won the Bellator Season Six Featherweight Tournament.
Filip Pejic (16-3-2) - Pejic went 0-1 in his original UFC run and was unfortunate to find himself released, but has bounced back and is currently on a 2 fight win streak in KSW with wins over UFC veterans, Marcin Wrzocek and Diego Nunes.
Grant Blackler (9-1) - A veteran of The Ultimate Fighter, Blackler was a member of the Australian team in the 'Smashes: UK vs Australia' season. He unfortunately was eliminated in the first round but has been impressive since. With just one loss to his name, he may be a real surprise package this season.
Jason Knight (22-6) - Most recently a bare-knuckle boxer, Knight has fought twice in 2020, going 2-0. He has 4 UFC wins to his name, with wins over Chas Skelly, Alex Caceres, Jim Alers and most impressively, Dan Hooker.
Khamzat Dalgiev (11-3) - A late replacement in the tournament and the least known on the roster, not much is expected from Dalgiev, but he has finished 9 of his 11 wins, so has proven to be a solid finisher.
Mark Eddiva (8-2) - The current ROAD FC Featherweight champion, beating former UFC fighter, Rocky Lee via Unanimous Decision. Eddiva went 1-3 in his original UFC run, but the Flilipino fighter has huge upside and has really improved his all round game since his release.
Michael Tobin (14-2) - Australian Tobin started his MMA career with a 12-0 record, but then dropped a couple of fights to lesser opponents. Fortunately, he has bounced back with a couple of wins, his last being a submission victory to win the AFC Featherweight Title.
Ozzy Dugulubgov (10-2) - Dugulubgov went 5 years without fighting, but returned in 2020 with two wins in KoTC. He holds a win over Chris Wade and was due to fight top Lightweight contender, Justin Gaethje in WSOF, but the fight was cancelled.
Paddy Pimblett (15-2) - A real character, a lot is expected of Pimblett in the house, both in and out of the cage. He is a former Cage Warriors Featherweight champion, who also fought for the Lightweight title, but came up short against Soren Bak.
Sergio Giglio (12-0) - Undefeated Peruvian Giglio is only 23 years old, and started fighting professionally at just 16. He was also undefeated at amateur level.
TJ Laramie (11-3) - Another young fighter, at just 22, Laramie started his professional career at just 17 in Japan, as he couldn't get licensed in Canada until he was 18. He holds a win over current UFC fighter, Charles Jourdain.
Tyler Diamond (10-2) - Ranked as the top Canadian Featherweight, Diamond was a contestant on season 27 of TUF, but was eliminated and then also suffered a loss on the finale. He beat Jim Alers in his last fight and will hope to impress in his second chance in the house.
Will Chope (34-10) - Chope is a whopping 6'4 and will easily be the tallest fighter in the competition. Hes been fighting predominantly in Asia for most of his career, and has pro fights in Boxing, Kickboxing and Bare-Knuckle Boxing outside of MMA.
Yusuf Raisov (17-1) - A very good grappler from Russia, Raisov has wins over Andre Winner and Luis Palomino on his record and is a former ACB Featherweight champion.
