Rumor is Henderson/Bisping.

Hendo would be cool too then the winner could face Silva. That would also be great!

I don't mean for this to come off the wrong way, but I think the language issue will probably keep Anderson from doing it.
Bisping is an obvious choice though.

As the show is billed as USA vs. UK Hendo vs. Bisping would make the most sense leading to a No.1 Contenders match between the two coaches.
Dana must be prayting that Bisping beats Leben on Saturday night though or that's all screwed up.
As Anderson is saying he wants six quick fights to end contract and retire I can't see him being tied up for several months with a TUF filming schedule

If you want Bisping then you better hope he gets past Leben this Saturday.

It's going to be Bisping, unless he loses to Leben. If he loses to Leben, which I hope he will, I don't know what they're going to do.
UK Coach: Bisping
US Coach: Henderson
If Bisping loses, maybe they'll do Bisping/Hamill 2, Matt would make a good US coach (I know, different weigh classes, but Bisping could easily go up, Hamil may be able to go down, idk)

Win or lose tomorrow night against Chris Leben at UFC 89: “Bisping vs. Leben,” Michael Bisping will be asked to serve as a coach on the next and ninth season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) mixed martial arts reality series that airs on Spike TV.
UFC President Dana White today confirmed the long-rumored appointment at the UFC Fight Club question and answer session at The National Indoor Arena (NIA) in Birmingham, England, according to Fighters Only Magazine.
White is in town, obviously, hosting the 11-fight card that is scheduled for Saturday, October 18 that features a main event between “The Count” and “The Crippler.”
Bisping — TUF 3 winner and current British UFC posterboy — is a clear choice for the position, considering TUF 9 will be themed, “U.S. vs. U.K.” White did not confirm the opposing coach, however, he did indicate that Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson are both under consideration.
Perhaps that decision will be made a little easier when “Ace” and “Hollywood” clash in the main event at UFC 93: “Dublin” on January 17.
Time will tell.
TUF 9 will feature a mix of middleweight and welterweight hopefuls who will compete for “six figure” UFC contracts in a tournament-style format. Tryouts are already scheduled for Chicago and London this month to select a 32-member cast, which will eventually be whittled down to 16 in the first few days of taping.
The production schedule has not been revealed at this time; however, if the promotion decides to wait for either Franklin and Henderson then it could be pushed back until January 2009.

I'm not a fan of old contestants coming back as coaches. Who will they get for TUF10, Bobby Southworth and Gabe Ruediger?

Plus Bisping won it unlike the guys you mentioned. They pick the coaches usually for big name fights or title matches or contender matches which is why the other coach will most likely be Dan Henderson so they can see who will face Andersnon for the title down the road.. Mir is going to fight Nogeira. Forrest was fighting Rampage. Serra was fighting Hughes. They all earned their shots and capatalized on them earning the shot by making them coaches and building major mainstream hype to their fights through TUF. They didnt pick them just because they were on the show. Plus the two guys you mentioned dont even fight for UFC anymore... |
