'The Ultimate Fighter' Season 32: Team Grasso vs. Team Shevchenko results

August 20, 2024, 11:25 p.m. EST

Following what may have been the biggest season in “The Ultimate Fighter” history (when Conor McGregor, MMA's biggest star, made his second run as a coach), the show returns for Season 32 in June.

TUF was instrumental in the UFC's explosion in popularity in the early 2000s, featuring fighters such as Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock, who trained MMA hopefuls in a season-long competition in which participants shared a house for several weeks.

Over the course of 31 seasons, all of which can be watched on ESPN+, the show has featured a number of UFC champions — Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Michael Bisping, Kamaru Usman, Robert Whittaker, TJ Dillashaw and Rose Namajunas — as well as stars Nate Diaz, Tony Ferguson and Diego Sanchez. Each season, tension tends to rise between the trainers preparing for a big fight of their own. Fans get to see everything that goes on behind the scenes.

Season 32 of “The Ultimate Fighter” features a coaches' matchup between flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko. The two are expected to meet in a trilogy for Grasso's title after this season concludes. In the first fight, Grasso defeated Shevchenko by submission to claim the title. The two fought to a draw in the second bout.

This season's TUF competition, which begins streaming June 4 on ESPN and ESPN+, is at featherweight and middleweight. Results for this season can be found at the bottom of this story.
