3 of the best TUF coaches, 1 of the worst
The Ultimate Fighter has seen UFC fighters try their luck as coaches, here are three who did well and one who fumbled.
As if being a professional MMA fighter isn't already hard enough, imagine being surrounded by cameras as your try to go about your daily life. Not only that, but you also have to coach a team of fighters opposite the person who, in most cases, you're going to fight in a matter of months.
That is the case for UFC fighters who take on the task of coaching in The Ultimate Fighter. It is not a job for everybody, given the amount of investment you have to put in and the unpleasantry you have to deal with to be successful at the role.
Over the years, TUF has given us some classic MMA moments. Most of them are starring the assigned coaches. From Conor McGregor's "Snake in the Grass," prediction about TJ Dillashaw to Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva fighting on set, and Rampage Jackson ripping a door off its hinges.
