The UFC has released the cast list for the new season of The Ultimate Fighter, which begins airing next Wednesday, Sept. 9, on Fox Sports 1.

This season will feature Conor McGregor and Urijah Faber coaching teams of lightweights from Europe and the U.S., respectively, with a single elimination tournament running through the season until the Dec. 11 Finale.

With 32 competitors in total, the show is likely to begin with an elimination round to make each team, much as they did for the ninth season back in 2009 in the U.S. vs. U.K season.
