Does Anyone Know Who Will be the TUF 13 Coaches?
The hot topic in MMA that has everyone talking right now, is the upcoming thirteen season of TUF (The Ultimate Fighter). Tryouts have already taken place but Dana White has yet to make a decision on who the upcoming season’s coaches are.
TUF 12 came to its conclusion not too long ago, as the UFC welterweight champion Georges St.Pierre faced off against his rival Josh Koscheck at UFC 124. Season 12 pulled in high ratings, thanks to Koscheck’s trash talking and Team GSP’s almost complete domination of the season.
Several possibilities have been circulating on the net for a month’s but have heated up over the past few days. The most talked about candidates have been Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva because “The Axe Murder” didn’t like Sonnen’s trash talk regarding the Nogueria brothers as well as Brazil. Most recently, they have said a few things here and there via Twitter hyping up the match up even more. But there’s a catch – Sonnen has to be approved by the commission to be a coach on TUF.
The second set of candidates is Urijah Faber and Miguel Torres, however something just doesn’t add up as Torres is set to fight at UFC 126, eliminating him from a spot as a coach on TUF. The most recently talked about candidates are Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir. Frank Mir has previously served his duties as a coach on season 8 of TUF against Nogueria. There’s no doubt this would bring in tremendous amount of attention to the season with Mir and Lesnar’s past and would boost up the ratings substantially.
But as of right now no one seems to know who the next coaches will be, not even Dana White himself…. Yet.

It looks like it is going to be Urijah Faber and Dominick Cruz and they are about ready to fight again anyway. This will be a good TUF season.
@Julio
Yeah think they would make good coaches and would be interesting as well
UFC needs to load up on Bantamweights anyway so why not with a full crop of fresh faces on TUF 13. I cannot wait, that series is never dull.
@Julio
TUF 13 would not feature Bantamweights though, they have alreayd done the tryouts. Check this out http://mmavalor.com/2010/11/04/tuf-13-tryouts-a-first-hand-account/
