Multiple sources are reporting that Brock Lesnar and Junior Dos Santos are signed up to be the next TUF coaches.

Thoughts? Does this lead to a payoff fight? Are there possible interim title implications?

Smart move by Dana, its going to break records for most views in any tuf shows. Why not try to get one more huge pay out of Brock when he fights JDS. Plus more people are going to tune in who doesn't watch mma and only watch certain fighters like Brock and Chuck Liddell. Dana out did himself this time around. Nice report Dallas!

This fight is notfor an interim title but the winner does get a shot at the title. The show should end in june with the fight being a week later. Cain is out another 8 months or so setting the winner of lesnar vs jds up in the fall sometime. I love it. Lesnar gets a shot at the title if he wins. And he has a good shot to win this fight. All depends on jds tdd. I hope all the lesnar haters get their panties in a bunch over this. Makes me laugh. Remember the idiots who thought brock was quitting mma? Hilarious. So let's see now. In order lesnar has fought couture, mir, carwin, cain. And will fight jds now. Anyone ever remember another heavyweight running a gauntlet like that? Lesnar haters can't talk s hit now. Awesome.

Amen, even Fedor wont go through that type of competition.

LOL that is the most **** comment from you to date.
Do you know of SF's tourney????

if anything, Fedor is facing better competition. he will have to face AO & Werdum winner, then another top fighter. all this year. how does that compare with Lesnar being destroyed by cain then one fight against JDS?

This is just a move to try and make Lesnar fight once more for the belt before he runs scared and leave MMA forever...

And BTW, this is simply a form of giving Lesnar a second UNDESERVED title shot... in case you didn't notice.

Well when the tourney starts we can talk about him actually fighting competition but until then he is still a has been fighter.

Of course I notice but I dont make the rules just like you dont either but its the same when Brett Rogers got a shot a Fedor. Who has he beat to get a shot at Fedor?

Who else would deserve the shot if Brock beats JDS?

I am curious to see who Carwin is going to fight next now since Brock, JDS, Cain, Mir and Nelson are all busy.

Well, that's up to UFC to determine.
but I would think Lesnar would need (at least) another win.
Maybe Mir (you know how they like Mir, so a win for Mir would mean yet another title shot, and for Lesnar would be a crowning of beating mir 2 out of 3).

Carwin also could be on the line, or even Roy or struve... depending who they beat...
I don't mean for a title shot ahead of lesnar, but maybe against lesnar for a title shot...

When you look down at it, this division is not that deep, is it? :)

Yes sir! If he wins the tourney he will be making a huge statement.

Like I said who has he beaten? AA reminds me Frank Mir, he can beat the average guys but cant hang with elite fighters.

Good call. Schaub is also fighting Cro Cop. So who does that leave? Kongo? Nog? Rothwell?

He will prob get Nog or Rothwell, Nog has a better chance then Rothwll.
