UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has made it clear you won't exactly have to twist her arm to get her to participate as a coach, whether the fighters are men or women.
"I'd love going on TUF," she said. "It would be very interesting, whether we would coach guys or girls. It would be really good for people to see a woman in the position of coaching the men and the men respecting the women. That would be very positive.
"If it was all women, I think it would be hilarious if Dana [White] had to deal with the girls having ‘girl issues.' You know, if someone was like ‘I can't fight, I have cramps!' and see him lose his mind. He would lose his mind if he had to deal with girl stuff, I don't doubt that some issues would come up. So just for my own personal amusement, I think it would be really funny. But I also think all guys would be really fun, extremely positive. I'm open to anything."
While White hasn't committed to the idea of women on TUF, he admits it's a thought he's kicked around. And if such an idea came to fruition, he sees Rousey nemesis Miesha Tate as the woman most likely to take the other coaching slot.
"It could happen," White said. "If there's two people who would probably coach, you kick [the idea] around, this could happen, that could happen. If they did, it could be her and Miesha. You know, we'll see. Timing has a lot do with it."
