My TUF idea

I had an idea that instead of having two fighters who are currently active, the UFC could employ two veterans of MMA, such as say Bas Rutten and others, and have each one coach a team in a ''battle of the legends'' type thing. What do y ou t hink?

Battle of the Legends? Ok then instead of having the teammates fight, we'll have the coaches fight each round and whoever has the most wins at the end wins the competition.

I like ur idea, but think about it in terms of entertainment. Sure, having legends of MMA coach would give the fighters more strategies and gameplans in the long run, but the choice of coaches now is considered more exciting because it gives a sense of rivalry (think Shamrock/Ortiz) so the fans could choose one team.

never would happen....they get away with not paying these guys much....too much ego/money for a legends show.

The whole point of putting UFC stars on TUF as coaches is to get them more exposure, build them up as bigger stars, get more people to watch their fights, & make more $$$ for everybody.

Why eliminate of their star-making tools.
