Canadian middleweight Patrick Cote and Australian fighter Kyle Noke will serve as head coaches on a new international edition of “The Ultimate Fighter” called “TUF Nations: Canada vs. Australia.”

UFC officials today announced the plan.

The show, tentatively scheduled to debut in early 2014, will feature welterweight UFC hopefuls.

Tryouts will begin in September for “TUF Nations: Canada vs. Australia,” which is the 22nd edition of the UFC’s long-running reality show. The tryouts will take place in Sydney and Toronto, though details won’t be released until next month.

The show will air in Canada on Sportsnet and TVA Sports, and on FX in Australia. U.S. broadcast plans weren’t announced.

Cote and Noke both are previous “TUF” cast members. The announcement didn’t state if they’ll meet in a traditional season-ending, coach-vs.-coach bout.

Cote (19-8 MMA, 6-8 UFC), a former middleweight title challenger and “TUF 4” runner-up, is on a 6-1 run, which included a recent welterweight debut and a decision victory over Bobby Voelker. He’s currently in his fifth stint with the UFC.

Noke (20-6-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC), a quarterfinalist on “TUF 11,” won his first three UFC fights. Recently he halted a two-fight skid with a TKO victory over Charlie Brenneman at UFC 152. He’s been on the sidelines since the September fight due to a shoulder injury.

“TUF Nations: Canada vs. Australia” is the third country-vs.-country edition of the show. A U.S. vs. U.K. version took place in 2009 as the ninth installment of the regular “TUF” series in the U.S. Additionally, a U.K. vs. Australian version took place this past year.
