The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2014 at Arena Ciudad de México in Mexico City. This season will feature eight featherweight and eight bantamweight competitors, four in each class representing Mexico and Latin America (not including fighters from Brazil, which has its own TUF). Filming began in May 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the series scheduled to debut in August 2014. In May 2014, the cast of fighters participating on the show was announced. Eight fighters were chosen for both Team Velasquez and Team Werdum to represent Mexico and Latin America, respectively. "* Vera had a skin infection and was replaced by Cannetti." The finale
Latin America–United States relations and for much of the Cold War (1947–1991), actively vied with the Soviet Union for influence in the Western Hemisphere. Today, the ties between the United States and most of Latin America (with the exception of certain countries such as Cuba and Venezuela) are generally cordial, but there remain areas of tension between the two sides. Latin America is the largest foreign supplier of oil to the United States and its fastest-growing trading partner, as well as the largest source of drugs and U.S. immigrants, both documented and otherwise, all of which underline the continually evolving relationship between the two.
