that should be very interesting.i hope that they find some good talent.Comment -
This sucks ball IMO! Not a fan of Lesnar (he'll be a shit coach) and Dos Santos has rather basic English! I'd much rather seen Lesnar Vs Mir, makes no sense to me why, if Lesnar was prepared to be a coach, that Mir wouldnt be included (who stated tht he wanted to be a coach again)!
Plus isnt it just welterweights this season?

Who cares about TUF? How about Lesnar vs Dos Santos in June?!?! Brock better learn how to take a punch or this will not end well for him.Comment -
lol HW is such a goofass divisionComment -
im pretty excited for this tuf season. the talent is going to be lacking as usual but im curious to see who brock brings in and if he's changing up his training camp.
also, i bet brock will learn alot and make some good progress as a fighter being a coach.
war brock!Comment -
lol do you disagree? One of these HWs has more hype than half of any other division, with less skill.
It's also a very shallow division. Which means they can put the guy that just lost a title fight by tko into a top contender matchup with its own TV series and nobody will bat an eye.Comment -
brocks gonna get smashed again, lolComment -
or is he?Comment -
This is all about ratings lol.
I think a sneaky bet for this would be Dos Santos Vis Submission. I see a dazed Lesnar going for a desperate takedown and ending up in a guillotine or Triangle.Comment -
Didn't see this coming! I guess it was one of the only options in the HW divison. The only HW without a fight is Carwin. Obviously Dos Santos gets a title shot if he wins, but what if Brock wins? I like this fight but I don't like them as the coaches. I would have much rather seen Faber vs Cruz as the coaches.Comment -
carwin and brock as coaches leading to a rematch would be cool and make sense since they are both coming off lossesComment -
I stopped watchin TUF after the first couple seasons.Comment -
if dos santos can't get past brock, he really has no business fighting cain anyway.Comment -
Hopefully Brock doesn't teach his fighters his time tested strategy of running around the cage like a bitch with two hands covering your head the first time you get hit.Comment -
GSP last season and now Lesnar this season. TUF will have had the 2 biggest UFC PPV draws doing the show, and sadly neither of these season will do as well as the Kimbo Slice season didComment -
You can talk as much shit about the UFC as you like on here, we just prefer that there is some logic behind it, unfortunately it would appear that you were at the back of the queue Tracey when God was handing logic out though.Comment -
This is all about ratings people, People will watch Lesnar, like it or not.
I dont see how people bash him so bad, he lost 1 fight to the best HW in the world & you guys act like he is useless, I remember when everyone said how great Mir was till he took him out.
Anyhow, I'll watch himShut your mouth when you talk to Me!Comment -
This should be interesting... I'll watch as it will be interesting which roll Lesnar plays. Will he keep his new humbled roll or will he revert back to the enemy to pump up his fight in June?
Comment -
Tuf sucks but Lesnar will get huge ratings. Dos santos is overrated. Brock could take him down 3 times and win this fight.Comment -
Lesnar being a coach is purely about entertainment and dollars but that is nothing new for the UFC. It was funny listening to dana get pissed at helwani when he asked about lesnar being such a green coach. What is lesnar going to teach, his power doubleleg?
He is going to learn more from this process than the WW, that much is sure. I had no faith in brock with the coaching he had up until the cain fight, so unless he has joined a real camp I don't have any faith he or his WWs will improv as much as they could unless brock had a change of attitude after cain beat him down.
But, of course, I am going to watch, you are going to watch and UFC is going to have its biggest season of TUF ever.Comment -
A reality television show that is centred around ratings? Say it ain't so, boys.Comment -
TUF is always lopsided as far as quality of coaches anyway. One team is always learning way more then the other.Comment -
I look forward to the seeing the coaches JDS brings in.Comment -
This is a terrible idea for coaches, but if Dos Santos wants to fight it makes the most sense. Lesnar still has to be considered the #2 contender at this point. I guess the timing worked out and Dana knew Lesnar would make the money poor in. I don't think the coach selection this season really has anything to do with getting the TUF fighters good training. In the past most coaches have been chosen for entertainment purposes. If the two fighters have problems with each other or one of the fighters is just entertaining to watch.Comment -
honestly Lesnar is a decent dude and has a great staff so I would love to be on his team. I'd say he doesn't deserve the coaching spot, but HW is just so tiny. They need to bolster this division as much as they can with new talent and tuf is the best way to give that new talent some name recognition.Comment -
JDS opened as a favorite at -160, what do you guys think? is there value on JDS? (or lesnar?)Comment
Woooow, never saw that one coming! So the rumors about Brock Lesnar were false. I'm actually stoked for this upcoming season
