It sounds like Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard could be TUF 13 coaches. The finale is June 4th and they could easily meet on June 11th at UFC 131. The cast is all welterweights, too.

Not a fan [of the selections if that's the case].

JDS will fight for an interim belt. My guess is his opponent will either be Carwin or Lesnar.

Wow I actually agree with you on something :) His wrestling is fine, he needs major work on his stand up!

Not everything I say is controversial.

If UFC 130 pans out with...

Edgar vs Maynard 3
Rampage vs Silva
Pettis vs Guida
Mir vs Nelson
Alves vs Story

That is by far one of the best cards ive seen on paper.

Also a very dangerous fight for Pettis while he awaits his title shot!

Thrilled to see Brock doing this.

I hope he reconnects his relationship with Greg Nelson and brings him in as a coach.

Lesnar needs to get coached before he does any coaching.

He's got the wrestling down but has a terrible stand up game and a pretty weak submission game.

Are you kidding me? Brock's a coach because (a) this will be the highest watched season of TUF ever (due to him being on the show) and (b) there's not much left in his "career" as he's getting up there in age. This was a GENIUS move by Dana IMO.

Ratings wise I totally get why he is doing it.

Should be a bigger and newer crowd to the show.
