With dual citizenship, Brazilian and North American, Drysdale, who was born in the USA and raised in Brazil, released a video on social media showing the gym that will serve as a studio for the recording of the 23rd season of the reality show in the city of Las Vegas.

“I am honored to be coaching alongside champion Joanna (Jedrzejczyk) in the upcoming season of TUF,” Drysdale wrote, along with the video, on his profile on Instagram.

TUF 23 starts airing on North American TV in April. In the event that will host the finals of the reality show, in addition to the two champions of the season, the two coaches will also face each other, Claudinha gadelha and Joanna Jedrzejczyk, in a rematch valid for the women's strawweight belt.
