The Return of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Volkanovski vs. Team Ortega (also known as The Ultimate Fighter 29) was an installment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter. The show has been off-air for a few years, following The Ultimate Fighter: Heavy Hitters in 2018 broadcast by Fox Sports 1. The UFC officially announced its return in October 2020, now broadcast by ESPN+. There were no physical tryouts for this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, a remote casting took place on November 13, 2020, featuring male bantamweights and middleweights. Current UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski and former title challenger Brian Ortega were announced as the head coaches in early April 2021. The full cast was officially announced on April 18, with the show debuting on June 1.
