TUF 7 to Feature Heavyweights

Do you think Brock Lesnar could/should participate in this upcoming TUF? I think it'd be a great opportunity for him to gain experience, and it'll potentially boost ratings for the show.

That would really be something to see. They could be coaching the worst bums in the world and I'd watch every week.

You and I would, but Joe Casual Fan would be saying "Who the hell are these guys" and would likely be pissed that they aren't fighting at the end of the season.

Good idea! Since it's a fantasy show anyway, let's have Miletich vs Jackson to headline the Finale.

I think you guys missed the point. People don't know Jackson and Miletich, at least not very well, and that would leave the focus on the fighters and NOT on the coaches. One of the reasons that I have not liked the last few TUF seasons has been because of the stupid Coach versus Coach stuff. So, Miletich and Jackson could take their teams and really teach them something.

They could also take it a step farther. They could make it MFS versus Gaidujutsu. They could have Jackson and Miletich each bring in eight MMA fighters that they also coach outside of the show. That way the MMA fighters and the coaches do not have that excuse about only having a short period of time to train.

I guess a few stipulations would have to apply. Stuff like no MMA fighters on any team that had been on any previous season of TUF. Maybe something like all fighters must have ten fights or less so that there are no ringers; like Miletich choosing Rory Markum and Matt Hughes for his team, or Jackson choosing Jardine and Sanchez for his team.

They could do other seasons like that as well, such as Brazil's Top Team versus Chute Boxe. They could have Big Nog and Wanderlei as coaches, LOL.

Miletich and Jackson as coaches - good thinking there.

We'd get to see two legit coaches shaping their fighters and preparing them.

I don't think TUF 7 should feature HWs or MWs. It should feature LHWs. I would say the vast majority would drop to MW after the show. Just look at the guys who competed as MWs on TUF 1. Nearly all of them have dropped to WW.

Thought I'd post this here instead of making a topic for it:

I was just checking the updates at the UFC site and I noticed that there is an advertisement for an open casting call for TUF7, which confirms that it's a Middleweight-exclusive season. I'm pretty relieved... the UFC could do back-to-back MW TUF seasons, and I think that the division would still be in trouble. I hope this season produces some promising talent.

Nice! Thanks for the info, Toshi. Personally I'd rather see MW fights.
