GSP: FROM ULTIMATE CHAMPION TO ULTIMATE COACH
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Every season of “The Ultimate Fighter" has brought a different style of coach, and some of the best fighters in the world have taken a turn at the head of a team on the powerhouse reality show. For the first time ever, UFC welterweight champion and arguably pound-for-pound top fighter in the world Georges St-Pierre will take his turn as coach on the next season of the reality show, which starts filming in June.
The Canadian fighter leaves for Las Vegas in a few weeks, and has already started assembling his team of coaches and assistants that will help him along the way with the new season of hopefuls.

Quinton Jackson: ‘Rashad Evans Was on The Ultimate Fighter by Default’
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Does It Matter if the UFC Lies to the Media, Fans?
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Rather than lie and work to cover up details they didn't want disseminated, the UFC deliberately went on the record in interviews in print, radio and online saying words and spreading messages they knew to be false. That means they actually incorporated the unwitting press into their ...
BJ Penn vs. Koscheck-Daley Winner a Possibility For TUF 12
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010
There's a new rumor floating around that contrary to current speculation, the winner of the fight between Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley may not get an immediate title shot, but instead will likely be brought in to coach on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter opposite BJ Penn.
If Koscheck or Daley were successful in that fight, they would then get a title shot. It's unclear if Penn would need another win to garner his own title shot if Georges St. Pierre is still champion at the time.
If this rumor is true, there are a lot of positives.
Penn seems destined to make another foray into the welterweight division, and coaching on TUF would ...
