if you were a TUF coach

[franco727]

if you guys were the coach's for TUF and you had to bring in a wrestling coach, striking coach, and JJ coach and you could pick any fighters, who would you pick for each

Interesting concept .... I'd pick:

Wrestling: Couture
MT: Anderson Silva
JJ: Big Nog or Half Nog

Striking I can't really say. Silva could probably cover that too.

The first thing I would do is put this in the TUF forum. Then I would do the following:

Wrestling: Kerr, Coleman (Both should have some spare time)
Striking: Cyril Abidi, Rick Roufus, or Hoost
BJJ: Garcia, Penn, Bravo, Nogueira

I think that would work. I would also work boxing with someone traditional like Lennox if I could.

You're probably right, but the trend is posts get to stay as long as they make fun of Cakezilla, so I'll add him to my list as Nutritional Coach.

This is actually a tough question if you really think about it since many guys who are good fighters aren't neccisarily good coaches. A good example would be BJ this season. he truely is a prodigy at alot of this stuff which is amazing for him but it naturally makes it harder for him to explain those things since the come so naturally to him. Equally my first though would be Crocop for striking but considering his personality I'm not sure he would make the greatest coach.

So my list would be:
Wrestling/GnP/Conditioning/Fight Strategy - Randy Couture - We know he is a good coach and a great leader

Striking - Saul from Tito's season - That season showed how good of a coach he is when he kept the guys from all hating each other over the Bisping-Matt drama. That kind of insight is essential when you have this many guys training together in these conditions

Grappling - Fedor - He's good at everthing else why wouldn't he be good at coaching

MT/Boxing-Anderson Silva
Wrestling-Couture/Hendo/Coleman/Kerr.....ANY one of these guys
BJJ-BJ Penn/Werdum/Big Nog......ANY one of these guys

completely agree.

Wrestling = Couture // Lindland // Hughes

Striking = Hoost // CroCop // Silva

BJJ = BJ Penn // Big Nog // Royce

All Round - Fedor // GSP // Chuck

Corner man - Tito // Couture

Don't know how good some of these guys would actually be at coaching, especially some1 like CroCop who's very reserved. If I had to chose a single coach it would definitely be between Fedor and GSP, Chuck's only really being considered because there must be some secrets to be taught from a guy who's that technically bad, to be able to have such an impressive resume.

[DonFrye]

I agree, but I think a striking coach should have at least SOME striking defense. Especially for an up-and-comer.

Striking-Bas
Wrestling-Hughes
GNP/Submissions-Fedor

Sounds good to me...
