Following the UFC 158 prelim fights on FUEL TV last night, UFC President Dana White made the announcement that the next season of The Ultimate Fighter will have a new spin on it.<Br><Br>

UFC Women's Champ Ronda Rousey will coach the next season with the winner of the upcoming Miesha Tate vs. Cat Zingano fight being the opposing coach.<Br><Br>

Not only will the show feature women coaches for the first time in its history, it will also feature male and female hopefuls living together inside the TUF house.<Br><br>

White President Dana White discussed how the decision was made to cast women in the coaching roles.

"Obviously her winning the fight was a big deal,"said White. "There were a lot of things going on for that fight that determined it. We had kicked it around that maybe it could happen."<br><br>

White said he doesn't have any concerns about having a big enough talent pool to fill a cast of women's bantamweights for the house.<br><Br>

"We already know we have enough women to do it," said White. "And every time you do tryouts people pop up that you never knew about."<br><br>
