	Just read that these two will be coaching on the next season of TUF. It will feature heavyweights and welterweights. The coaches will then fight for the title after the season. I don't believe a fight date has been chosen yet. Kind of stinks that we'll have to wait quite a bit yet to see a heavyweight title fight again, however, this could be good too because it gives some time for the heavyweight division to sort itself out.

	My have a problem with Frank Mir getting a title shot. I understand the heavyweight division is weak, but does Frank really deserve a shot? He is 3-2 in his last 5 fights. atoni hardonk is a solid fighter, but Brock lesnar. the dude has no cred in the fight game yet. Is the UFC saying that if Brock beat Mir he would have gotten a title shot? I always like the TUF shows, especially this season and im sure that both these guys are going to be good coaches. (if anyone can understand Nog on the team) I just dont see how Mir deserves a title shot.

	Well that is just dumb... They desperately need to find some heavyweight talent.

	And if the cast is not going to be announced until September, that means we won't be seeing a title fight until when? December? January? That's too long... I'm okay with Mir getting a title shot. He's a past champ. I don't think they always have to give the title shots to a clear cut #1 contender. I like seeing someone else in there sometimes. It gives us the opportunity to maybe see a Douglas/Tyson type upset someday. Or I guess I could say Serra/GSP again...

	Really? We could have read about this a month ago if you had posted it? Wow, and to think we almost missed out on your insight! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Granted we need some HW love in the UFC but we also have much, MUCH better options for coaches than these 2! Mir and Nog? Really? What's the point of having these 2 coach if there aren't even any HW's??!!! If your gonna have HW's then fine, I get it...but there's no HW's so get me some coaches that can not only coach (Im sure Mir is probably great) but translate to entertaing TV as well. All the coaches in the past were great fighters AND made for great TV. C'mon UFC, dont blow a good thing here, get me some crazy, over the top coaches who provide the full package that TUF deserves!

	Cmon, with powerful words like that you have to come back! Doosh? and everyone here sucks like you? Keep it coming man. I am just a sponge to your all knowing MMA intellect. Cmon man, get over yourself. We would have known a month earlier if you had told us? You sound like a little 5th grader who need his props. Then you say everyone here sucks like me? I stand corrected you would have to be a 4th grader. Well I'm rubber and your glue and whatever you say bounces off me and....blah blah BLAH! No one asked you to come back, and Im not here to make friends, I just like most of the insight I get from reading these posts, this current one excluded obviously.
