one!

Set it off I suggest!!

Dana White with no input? That’s like having Dana White not having any input. Figure that one out.

The less we see of Dana, the better.
Unless these nimrods decide to fight in the house.

does less dana white input means less swearing???

then whos going to say SO YOU WANT TO BE A F*CKING FIGTHER?!?!?

It just says he won’t have the input on camera. Off camera we can count on Dana to make sure the house is stocked with tequila, paper bags full of manure, nun-chuks and Band-Aids. Just to keep things interesting.

and dont forget drywall to try to run through.

I would like to see a bracket. Rank and seed them and let them fight throught bracket.

This may keep things more balanced and hopefully they will let whatever grudges form in the house be resolved in the octagon!

I just can’t wait to see Matt v Matt

Kinda makes sense, you would see less team vs. team in the semis unlike last season and season 3.

i dont like the idea how Hughes & Serra are coaches .. then they fight on the finally. Serra Gets to hold his title for so long. this fight should be in november on the same card as silva vs franklin.

Hurry up and get this fight going so GSP can get his title back.

I saw some previews of TUF 6 and it looks like these guys completely destroy the house. Good for ratings … Screw what the critics say about it being a bad image. The way I see it fighting is not for thin skinned individuals who cast their judgements wherever they see fit. If you don’t like it feel free to change the channel.

Why did they pick welterweights for this show? Its already the most stacked division there is, they should have done middleweights instead to try to add some depth to that division.

I hope the fighters are better than some from last season. Some of the guys seemed like they didn’t belong there. 1st example… Wang…??

I think next season should be old school grudge matches with alot of the 1st UFC fighters. That would be fun. lol

which they do apparantly pretty badly. Mult peeps get booted.

I’m all for Dana. The man is golden. Its only because of him we MMA has its main stream exposure. I’d watch the Dana White show if it ever aired.. :-p

Fighting is for everyone. Personally I hate when they tear up the house randomly I don’t find that entertaining. However during the last TUF were they had the backyard brawl I have to admit that it was good TV. All my favourite fighters (GSP, Couture, Shogun) are respectful guys, even the most vicous like Wanderlei wouldn’t but something through a window for no reason, he might put someone through it but thats a different story. Anyway I guess boys will be boys.

WHY IT IS WELTER WEIGHTS AND NOT MIDDLE WEIGHTS

[My statements are based on the fact that all TUF coaches have been previous title holders and active]

I really am dissapointed it is welter and not middle weight fighters in the show. However when I think about it, it is obvious why this is the case. It all comes down to lack of good coaches.

When you think about 2 obvious candidates it would be Silva and Franklin for MW coaches. But Silva unfortunately doesn’t speak any English which rules him out, I have trainned under people who speak little English but they could still string a sentence together unlike Silva. Having a translator for every sentence doesn’t work and you can’t have a corner man who doesn’t speak your language it makes no sense. So the only guy who could of been a coach in the division is Franklin as he is the only guy who has previously held a UFC title (all coaches so far have held a title). Other middle weight fighters I don’t think would be able to command the respect from the fighters that would be neccessary.

If you look to higher divisions for coaches all the LHW fighters who could be used to coach the middle weights are tied up in fights of their own. This is the same with the HW division. You can’t use a Pride fighter as new fans wouldn’t know them and Arlovski the only one who has held the title before hasn’t been in action for ages.

So it was either another light weight competition or welter weight!!! What do you think

The coaches fought on the last series.

Hughes and Serra will not be fighting at the finale. Dana wouldn’t give that fight for free! Two people that really dislike each other, coupled with all the money they will put into this season of TUF means that this fight will be on the December PPV.

That is an interesting point you bring up Holdin Ropes.

Its really too bad that Evan Tanner had to fall off the face of the earth. Franklin and Tanner would have both made great coaches. But then again, I would prefer to see someone besides Franklin coaching, since we already seen him before. They should get someone new in there.

I actually think that having a PRIDE guy be a coach wouldn’t be a bad idea at all - it would let the general population learn about the fighter. The general population did not know who Randy Couture and Chuck Liddell were before season 1…

Since Tanner most likely wont be in the octagon anytime soon, the best choice for coaches at MW would be:

Franklin and HENDERSON.

Perfect scenario being that Franklin beats Silva and is MW champ (about a 0.1% chance of happening). Then it doesn’t even matter if Henderson wins or loses against Rampage, we would still get another Title Unification bout, and it would happen at the end of the TUF season so it would be marketed like crazy - the 2nd ever title unification bout. That would have to sound good to the UFC (provided Henderson doesn’t beat Rampage, they wouldnt want him to defend two belts AND be tied up as a coach) and it sure sounds good to me!

PS. GO HENDERSON!!!

@ ViolentMike

Yeah if franklin wins, then it may open the way for him and Hollywood to be coaches, providing Hollywood doesn’t loose spectacularly against Rampage.

Can you imagine if Henderson beats Rampage and then asks for a shot at the middle weight title, THAT WOULD BE CRAZY!!!

I like the idea of franklin and hendo being coaches. the next season definitely needs to be with middleweights. i liked when the seasons had 2 different weight classes. and if you think about it, the coaches don’t necessarily need to be in the same weight class as the fighter’s right?

I saw Highlights of the show and it looked like a couple fights happened in the house…. These assholes who arent even UFC fighters, r stunting the growth of our sport by fighting outside the cage. That behavior is exactly what the MMA haters hate mma. Classy Fighters like Randy, Rich Franklin have put in a lot of work to shape the image away from that Barbaric images that some people had…. U fight outside the cage on television…. U should never fight in the UFC again. I’m not gonna lie…. seeing that street fight in the last season where the kids head was getting slammed on the concrete, and the other guy had him in the triangle choke…. Someone said it was the most technical street fight that he had ever seen…. That shit was entertaining…. But terrible for the groth of MMA.

Violent Mike, and Holding the ropes: That scenario sounds wonderful. however, I think that this scenario would work reguardless if Hendo N Franklin win. I say this because Anderson Silva cant speak English, so I doubt we will ever c him as a coach. The next TUF season has to b about middleweights. Lets look at possible coaches:

Anderson Silva - Cant do it, he doesnt speak english

Rich - The division is so weak that even if he cant beat Silva in October, he still has to be considered a top guy

Hendo - Win or loose against Rampage, he will still be the 185 lb champion of PRIDE, so that could work. And I think that its a great idea to have a pride guy as a coach.

Macdonald - in no way is he qualified to be a coach on that show… I dont even think any of the fighters would listen to him.

Okami - I dont remember If he speaks english or not.

Filho - isnt even in the UFC yet.

There really arent any possible choices besides Franklin and Hendo, unless Silva’s English gets better.

I guess the coaches dont have to be in the same weight class as the fighters, but if they are it backes up the theme of the show and can build up tension for a match up at the end of the season for coaches.

The coaches dont have to b in the same weight class as the fighters, but I would prefer If they were

Sounds good to me.

i was just thinking, you know what would make a great show…match up real fight camps against each other. the coaches will be the real team’s real coaches! i know it’ll never happen just because there would be way too many starts that they just couldn’t make it happen but how sweet would it be to watch like Team Jackson take on Team Miletich, or Chute-Box against Xtreme Couture…just throwing some names out there in no particular order! so dont yell at me if you dont think one of the teams is up to speed…it’s just an example! haha
