I can’t say that this is the official cast, but if you are looking for who made the cast of 32 fighters vying for a chance to get into the Ultimate Fighter house for season 23, this is a good place to look.

The cast is made up of 16 light heavyweights and 16 female strawweight fighters. The show is set to air on Fox Sports 1 in April.

Women’s Strawweight:

• Jodie Esquibel (5-1)

The cast is made up of some familiar names. TUF fans may be familiar with the names Josh Stansbury (season 19) and Norman Paraisy (season 11) as both get a second chance on the reality show. Also, UFC fans may notice the brother of current UFC fighter Hector Urbina (Elias) on the cast. Previously, the brother’s of UFC fighters have nor faired well on TUF as 5 UFC siblings had chances on TUF and only 1 even made the house (Browning, Evans, Guida, Miller & Diaz). Also of note, CES middleweight champion Eric Spicely and RFA Middleweight champion Andrew Sanchez. Also pay attention to Anderson Silva’s training partner Khalil Rountree and super prospect Phil Hawes.
