For the first time, THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER: BRAZIL brings the action to the epicenter of MMA fighting: Las Vegas. Sixteen fighters from around Brazil, 8 bantamweights and 8 lightweights, will compete to win a contract with the UFC. They will be coached by two of the greatest fighters ever: their countrymen Anderson Silva and Mauricio Shogun Rua. The first 8 elimination fights take place as the fighters battle it out for the right to stay in the TUF house, and a chance to win it all.

After the first eight elimination fights, sixteen more fighters, 8 Bantamweights and 8 Lightweights, step into the octagon for a chance to win the remaining spots at the TUF house. Coaches Silva and Shogun then pick their teams and announce the first preliminary fight of the season.

The 16 winning fighters celebrate their arrival at the TUF House and begin training. They are rewarded with a night out at a casino and introduced to the lovely Octagon Girls. The fighters compete in a physical challenge; the winning team is to receive a trip to the snow-capped Mount Charleston. Coach Anderson tests positive for PEDs, has to leave the show and is replaced by a UFC legend. Then, the first preliminary fight of the season takes place.

The loser of the first preliminary fight mourns his loss, while his team gets ready for another fight. Meanwhile, one of fighters after having lost his coach battles his emotions and tries to adjust to a new reality. The Octagon Girls come by the house, to take the winning team on a winter adventure. And finally, the moment arrives: the second preliminary fight.

Tensions rise within Team Nogueira as the pressure to win intensifies. The Octagon Girl competitors stop by the TUF house to visit the fighters and partake in an afternoon of poker-playing, barbecuing and romance. And finally, the third preliminary fight of the season takes place between two of the most dynamic bantamweights in the competition.

Team Shogun and Team Nogueira bring all their strength to a new challenge that gives the winning team the chance to steal a future fight pick. As a mid-season reward from Dana White, both teams get to enjoy a new adventure together as they drive dune buggies in the rough terrain of Las Vegas desert. And it's all hands on deck for Team Nogueira as it prepares its most aggressive lightweight fighter to face the tallest lightweight from Team Shogun on the 4th preliminary fight.

The attention now is on the next big bantamweight fight, which pits a heavy favorite from Team Nogueira versus a relative newcomer from Team Shogun. As the fighters get ready for their bout, the teams battle each other in a water-drenched challenge that will test their strength and endurance. After the challenge, the favorite overexerts himself in a training session to a point where some people begin to doubt whether he will get it together in time for the fight. After this momentary scare, he is able to fully recover and steps into the Octagon promising to send the underdog packing with his tail between his legs.

One of the most beloved fighters in the competition suffers from injuries and illness and finds himself in a dilemma that leads to one of the toughest decisions of his life. His decision will determine his fate in the competition and could give another fighter a second chance. Team Nogueira prepares their most fierce fighter for the 6th preliminary fight as he takes one Team Shogun's undefeated fighter.
