So Jason Miller has asked to coach this season instead of Chael. Let him imo, Chaels life still seemingly is a mess, introduce miller to the type of fans who just had to google him after i said he's asked to coach this season. Well if people don't know him, it would be better to have someone else who is known, like Chael? And honestly the build for Bisping and Chael will be amazing with the banter. |

Miller may not be universally known, but his personality is one that could attract people with ease. He just hasn't been featured on a "grand stage" outside of Bully Beatdown. A Chael/Bisping season, and a Miller/Bisping season would both be good for different reasons. Hell, even a Chael/Miller season would be great. Chael and Jason act ridiculous in totally different ways, and can get under an opponents skin. If I had to pick, I'd ask for Chael to coach against Michael. But Miller has enough personality to be a good alternative. |

^^ Kinda proved my point buddy.
Miller now he has the Zuffa marketing machine behind him is a crazy thought. I just feel it would be good for the UFC in two ways. They could run it as Bisping being a legit UFC guy and potentially some of the US fans getting behind him as this new strikeforce red haired bada$$ comes in trying to shake things up. Miller on the other hand wins people over with his personality, i crack up watching most of Mayhems interviews and i think he would be gold on a TUF season.

Mayhem is pretty marketable anyway.

I just feel it would be better to establish him more before throwing him on TUF. I understand what your saying about getting him out to the fans who are either new, or didn't know how to get a hold of much MMA and are catching up like myself. But from a business stand point, I say establish first. But I'm sure he'd be up to the task IF he is that much of a personality.

The thing is, UFC is in between a rock and a hard place. Obviously Chael should be (and literally is, at the moment) the first choice, but with his troubles, they may need to go another route.
New in the UFC or not, Miller is WAY more marketable than most of the established, yet fairly "vanilla" (personality wise at least) contenders at MW. In that regard, he's a great alternative to Chael. People aren't going to tune in heavily to see something like TUF: Bisping-vs-Munoz.

Miller can't be any worse as a coach on TUF than Shamrock or Franklin...IMO, two of the biggest letdowns as coaches of TUF...
