The UFC tried out both middleweights and welterweights for the upcoming 13th season of The Ultimate Fighter, but according to a report from MMAJunkie.com, only the welterweights will be represented when the show begins filming later this month.

Per the report, the UFC will once again go with the 28 fighter format that they've used in the last two seasons. The 28 fighters all compete in an opening round fight to get into the house, then fight to make it to the quarterfinal round. Two of the losing fighters from that round get a chance to fight in the "wild card" fight, and they take the eighth and final spot in the quarterfinals.

The coaches for this season are expected to be announced later in the week, and the show will be taped in Las Vegas.

This will be the first season featuring welterweights since season nine, which was the U.S. vs. U.K. season coached by Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping, and will be the fifth season of the show to feature the division.
