You got anybody more deserving than the former champ if he beats the #1 contender that's undefeated in the UFC?

I get that this will be highly viewed, but are you guys really more interested in TUF because Brock Lesnar is on it?

This and the thinness in the UFC HW division.

We don't really anything about Brock. I'm fascinated to watch him train guys and see him like yelling instructions and coaching between rounds. Much more interested than that than I was with something like GSP-Kos

Relates to Cain and JDS not fighting how? They are bound to UFC at the moment.

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:39 pm

The whole division is thin in both combat sports at the moment

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:40 pm

Yeah but UFC is thinned extra by injuries that are impacting fight schedules.

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:41 pm

A month ago JDS was fighting Cain, couldn't happen, they had to scramble and put this out. The limited resources and revenue potential created this pairing.

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:44 pm

Whether you like it or not, Brock is still a top ranked HW with very quality wins on his resume. Yeah, so he lost to the best HW in the World, but if he comes back and beats JDS, of course he deserves a Title shot. 1 fight removed from holding the Title himself, held it longer than most, no problem with him getting another shot at Cain, even if it turns out the same.

And the UFC actually has the deepest HW division in MMA, but hey shit happens, Cain got hurt and needed surgery, the fights they setup in the meantime will more than suffice.

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:45 pm

Cain is out 6-8 months, what were they supposed to do? Rolling Eyes

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:48 pm

Injuries got them thin where it matters most, canceling the Title match, not much they can do about it but it is what it is. This TUF pairing was probably as good as they could of done, I do like it better than Sonnen Wand scenario.

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:53 pm

Good as they could have done is 2 top 5 HWs at most places.

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:54 pm

Just realized that Brock-JDS will likely be on the same card as Carwin's return. I'm really curious as to who he's going to get. I would think Rothwell has to get a fight eventually

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:56 pm

Bc I still say Nog waits until the Rio card obviously ^^

I see them getting Carwin back in there ASAP when he's ready

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:58 pm

Nog vs Kongo
Carwin vs Rothwell

That card also has Pettis vs Guida

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:04 pm

LMAO I was gonna post this.

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:31 pm

Brock being named a TUF coach is a front page headline on ESPN

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:35 pm

Brock isn't qualified to coach TUF. His game relies on his size. He has less experience and skill then the guys he will be coaching. What can Brock offer to a WW? Better bring in some good assistants.

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:36 pm

I bet he brings Comprido

Subject: Re: Brock and JDS named coaches! Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:38 pm

Randy will probably show up as a special assistant coach for an ep or two.

I was thinking that too.

Wonder if he'll bring Barry back into the fold

Pat Barry? Why would the TUF cast give a shit about Pat Barry?

» TUF 13 changed to WW only, coaches to be named this week
» TUF: Brazil
» Who should be the next TUF coaches?
» TUF 12 Coaches and Fighters announced
