Season 13 of The Ultimate Fighter is scheduled to begin taping in just a few weeks, and UFC President Dana White admits he's late in picking the men who will lead two teams in competition and later battle it out themselves.
Among the pairs he named as possibilities were a duo rumored to be up for the job, MMA legend Wanderlei Silva and recently suspended middleweight Chael Sonnen.
Anther possibility? UFC bantamweights Miguel Torres and Urijah Faber.
"I really don't know what we're going to end up doing," White told MMA Fighting. "I've got a board with a list of things that need doing, and this is one of the big ones, but it depends on a lot of things. Here's the one thing I know: I have to make a decision really soon."
Torres-Faber would be great but Torres doesn't need another long layoff. Cruz-Faber would be a great move though. There's a huge rivalry there and it would be a great way to promote the new BW division.
Wandy-Sonnen makes for good entertainment but doesn't achieve much IMO considering that fight will already draw on its own. OTOH, if you can help put the BW division on the map and show it as equal to the other divisions then that's a huge accomplishment.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO TO WAND VS LEBEN. JUST FUCK NO. MOTHER FUCK NO. LAST THING I FUCKING NEED IS TWO OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FIGHTERS FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER. I'M GOING TO WRITE DANA, JOE SILVA, AND JOE ROGAN A FUCKING ANGRY LETTER WITH A LOT OF EXCLAMATION MARKS AND CURSES.
