NEWS: Dana White: Only dummies question Brock's coaching credentials

[JordanSilva]

While getting dos Santos on board as coach of TUF 13 may have been relatively painless, UFC President Dana White. could not say the same about the notoriously curmudgeonly Lesnar.

“In dealing with Brock, one minute, he can be into something, and the next minute, he can completely be not into something. I’m already prepared for this, mentally, and it’s gonna be a tough season. I know it is.”

Though Lesnar has only three years and seven bouts’ worth of MMA experience, White bristled at the notion that the 33-year-old was unsuited to the task of coaching on the reality program, which premieres March 30 on Spike TV.

“The guy’s a former world champion, has beat guys and held the title. No matter what his record is, what the guy has accomplished in the short amount of time that he’s been in MMA is incredible. To say the guy doesn’t have the credentials to coach ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ is probably one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.”

"Curmudgeonly" sounds like the way you'd describe a grumpy Jim Henson character not a UFC fighter. Way to use the thesaurus Sherdog.

Wait, did you write this article Jordan?

i dont know maybe its just me, but i lost some respect for Dana....i really think this is about the money and ratings. I dont think brock has much to contribute

Of course its about money and ratings. It wouldn't be the same if it was two boring guys as coaches. Brock is the biggest draw right now because of his polarizing nature. With all the added news stories of his commitment people who hate Brock are gonna want to see him lose the show and lose the fight after. He lost the title and JDS obviously agreed to put his number one contender spot up for grabs so whats the problem? I love the thought of this fight!

and of them being coaches.

i used to back dana, but lately it seems if someone disagrees with him on almost anything fighter related. he says some douchey about them to make every who agrees with that person look stupid or something. its really starting to piss me off.
