Henderson has been chosen by Chael Sonnen as part of his TUF 17 coaching staff, which already includes Clayton Hires, Scott McQuary, Jamie Huey, Mike Dolce, Vinny Magalhaes, and perhaps Randy Couture. More, Henderson will help coach Sonnen for this title shot. Further still, Hendo's knee has still not recovered 100%.

"We're on great terms (and) we've always been on great terms," said Sonnen.

"You've got to understand, what Dan and I have got is like the military. Our gym has got an order, and Dan is one of the coaches. He's above me. I don't talk back to Dan, and if Dan wants to say something, that would be the way it is."

"He's helped me through my whole career. The media can try to spin it however they want. But he's helped me with my whole career, and he's going to help me with this one, too."

Given that both have title aspirations, what about the possibility of the two fighting?

"You've got to stick around, man," said Sonnen. "I can't give you the conclusion. What fun will reading the book be?"

It's this stuff, what other fighters describe as the "real" Chael, that makes me really like the guy.

My dream is that TUF caters a season around the details of diet and training. Probably won't get that, but I'm curious to see how much we'll hear about the Dolce diet.

If you are interested in hearing about the Dolce diet I would suggest checking out the jre were Mike was a guest. A lot of the podcast focuses on the diet with some mma talk and Joey Diaz going wild

Does anybody know where Sonnen stands in the whole Hendo/Lindland beef?

I love when he says about the order and Dan being above him. Glad they are cool. It is a business.

This is how Rashad should have been when Jones got the shot, but I guess they didn't have a ten or so years of history.

Funny how they didn't mention him as one of the coaches. Surely he will be there with Sonnen, Lindland that is.

Who's Chael's daddy? Hendo is Chael's daddy.

It kind of adds an interesting layer for Jones. Now he has to face (chances are) his next two opponents in the tough house every day for the next 6 weeks or whatever the format is now.

If chael gets hurt, then they can switch roles.

Has Lindland cornered Chael since the first Anderson fight?
