Something I caught at the end of Leben's fight the other night. He looked into the camera and said "now give me the Ultimate Fighter and I'll take you out too Wanderlei". Does anyone know if this is in the works? It would make for one hell of a fight and a season!

well wandys hurt and tuf 12 filming already started so i doubt they'd switch coaches mid season just cuz leben wants to coach.

Well.....watching a headcoach have an alcohol-fuelled, incoherant and wreckless emotional breakdown would be a first for TUF.

To this day, Leban's still got too much baggage to really prove himself to be anything remotely reliable or consistent against the top tier, I wouldn't invest in a TUF shooting schedule with the way Leban is, he's still a loose cannon and has to prove himself alot more than taking a fight on short notice. He needs to go a year plus of honest to goodness, impressive wins and consistency, before I'd take a risk on him. He surprised vs. Simpson and overwhelmed a small MW in Akiyama, but some form of persisting personal demons have really killed him since post UFC 82 and whatever skills he has, will only come through if he can keep this up for an extended period and I do not for see this. He's not Karo or Filho, but he's pretty sketchy.

It will be awesome a TUF with Wandy, he is very funny, classy and entertaining to watch, his english is far from perfect but it is very understandable

[CHAEL fan]

Love Wand, really like Chris, leaning towards The Crippler to take a decision.

[Xanatos]

id be down for that being a season

as long as a champion isn't a coach. they should fight at the finale to see who gets a title shot. by the time the finale happened, vitor should have had his shot or at least be close to it. makes sense to me.

I think Leben started something here and Dana probely will be buged until he does it. Wandy seemed like he was into it too. Both must likely will never be champs in the future, but this will be better then most title fights IMHO

[GL Jeff]

TUF 13, the 195'rs. Leben and Wandy help coach new fighters into the 195 division, and then fight at the end for the newly created title.

That would make for a great season. both have that never back down, fight anywhere mentality. That would also be a great fight, while i like leban a lot, he and wand would put on a slugfest, but how would leban beat him. Wand got caught multiple times by liddell and franklin and when to a decision, recently the only times he got ko'ed was against rampage, hendo and cc. Chris doesnt have the standup skill or power that they have. He is not a very techniqual standup fighter and uses his good power and chin to win, he doesnt hit as hard as rampage or hendo, and isnt going to headkick wand. Leban would even lose to a current liddell or franklin. I love Chris's fighting style and always makes for good fights, but he isnt on wands level. TUF should be saved for elite fighters. edgar-penn might make a good tuf, that is if people would still have interest in a rubber match after bj ko's frankie.

I disagree with you statement Leben def has the power to ko Rich, chuck and wandy. The question would be can he catch them. but he def as the power. wandy and chris would be a sick fight I cant pick a winner it could go either way. Leben would prob knock chuck 20 years in to the future with the way his chin is now and days
