There was considerable speculation that the UFC would feature the bantamweights on the 14th season of The Ultimate Fighter by having 135lb champ Dominick Cruz and top contender Urijah Faber coach. Instead it looks like they're going for guaranteed strong personalities by having Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping coach the season with a number one contender's match as a reward according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer (subscription required). It should definitely be entertaining for fans if it comes to fruition:
Citat:
"The plan from Spike TV and UFC for the next season of Ultimate Fighter, which would air September through December, is to have Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping as coaches to build to a PPV match in December. The winner would likely be in line for the first middleweight title match of 2012."
"Neither UFC nor Spike can publicly announce this due to Sonnen not being licensed in Nevada. ... The decision, rumored for weeks, is controversial and will likely be heavily criticized if it does happen."

I know i Jizzed in my pants atleast!
Sonnen som förmodligen är min ABSOLUTA favorit. Kungen av smacktalk, and he backs it up. Kommer bli en sjuuukt underhållande säsong om detta blir ett faktum.
Sonnen gör sig definitivt värd en titleshot om han slår Bisping.

Joe:
If you get a chance to talk with him, please mention to your idiot-in-residence Michael Spitsbing it’ll be a little tougher to knee ME in the head when I’m charging at him like a runaway train and mincing him through the fence like a boiled potato, should we ever have the pleasure of each other’s company for a few (VERY few) moments in the Octagon.
Oh; and I’d suggest to him being a little careful about spitting on any of MY cornermen, since any one of them can beat him up as badly as I can. Thanks ever so much. Hope all is well.

När Ariel Helwani intervjuade Bisping lät det så här:
Citat:
Helwani brought up the possibility of Bisping and Sonnen being the next Ultimate Fighter coaches with a planned meeting in December. Bisping's response? "I love the sound of that, let's do it."
Båda verkar onekligen taggade!
