Anderson Silva - Chael Sonnen = Coaches of TUF 13?

I know a lot of people hate the idea of putting the belt on hiatus, however think of this.

There's a LOT of hype already starting surrounding a rematch between these two. One could argue The Ultimate Fighter needs the coaching "grudge" stories to make a season complete, and this one would be it.

Anderson Silva's reputation right now is low. People still can't shrug how he acted during the Maia fight out of their minds. Coaching The Ultimate Fighter 13 could perhaps give him a reputation boost in the eyes of some. Also, the coaching with Team Quest vs. Team Nogueira would be worth watching.

The big negative to this I think would be pushing Vitor to the side temporarily. However, there are alternatives to that to. Have the guy fight a few times at middleweight and score a few wins in the division. A complaint some have made is that he's yet to notch a win in the division under the Zuffa and he's getting a title shot. This allows him to do that, and build himself up as the top contender to the crown.

Thoughts?

the last ultimate fighter was middleweights

tempus - the last ultimate fighter was middleweights

And the coaches were light heavys...

It doesn't matter what weight class the coaches are.

GSP/Kosh are welters and the fighters are lightweights.

Anderson Silva is not a coach.

Superb idea.

This is what Chael said in the post fight press conference when they had trouble translating something Anderson said:



'We will do a reality show, I will work on my English, we will carry the ratings and we will do a rematch.'



Sounds pretty good to me.

Anderson Silva is 35 yrs old, I want him fighting, not burning career daylight on TUF.

 Yay for 30 mins of the show being translated by Ed Soares!

I want to see a rematch, I don't care if they have to do TUF in order for it to come to fruition, this rematch has to happen

I'd love to see it.

rematch, show or not.

If Dana will do instant rematches for Shogun and Bj, there needs to be one for this.

wrong thread.

There's already been U.S. vs England, GSP vs Koscheck to some degree is U.S. vs Canada(at least in terms of the coaches), so why not a U.S. vs Brazil season? I think it'd be gold
