TUF 15 Coaches Announced: Cruz vs. Faber 3

Before Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz and number one contender Urijah Faber complete their trilogy inside the Octagon for the Bantamweight Championship, the two will compete against one another as opposing coaches on the fifteenth season of The Ultimate Fighter.

The UFC confirmed the rumors earlier tonight and the two will coach both Welterweight and Lightweight fighters for the show's 13 week run.

Debuting this March, The Ultimate Fighter will air on the FX network as part of the UFC's seven year deal with FOX and will feature live Ultimate Fighter fights each week, for the first time in the show's history.

When the season wraps up some time in mid-2012, that's when the fun begins as Cruz and Faber will once again fight each other for the Bantamweight Championship. Each fighter has a win over the other and not only will the rubber match settle the score, but the Bantamweight title will be up for grabs as well.

TUF:15 also known as TUF:Live will debut March 9th at 9:00 p.m. on the FX network with a two hour long episode.
