The Ultimate Fighter 23 (TUF 23), the UFC reality show that offers the champion a six-figure contract with the organization, promises to shake things up behind the scenes of the house where the athletes are confined.
In the first trailer of the program, which will have the Brazilian coach Claudinha gadelha and the Polish Joanna Jedrzejczyk, the atmosphere of provocation between the fighters was intense. At the end of TUF they will face each other for the organization's strawweight belt (up to 52 kg).

In the video, in addition to the provocations between Claudinha and Jedrzejczyk, even the UFC president, Dana White, was thrown into a water tank. The director, it appears, participated in a test with the coaches and ended up knocked into the reservoir.
But the biggest highlight was the rivalry between the techniques. The Polish and the Brazilian, who faced each other in December 2014, and Joanna won in a controversial decision by the judges, a result highly contested by Gadelha.
“When you faced me, you didn’t win,” said Claudinha. “Shut up”, Joanna replies, later saying to the camera that she just wants to 'hit the Brazilian more and more'.
