And the coaches for The Ultimate Fighter 13 will be 2 fighters currently atop the Heavyweight Division, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and current number 1 Heavyweight contender Junior Dos Santos.
UFC President Dana White announced that former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and number one contender Junior dos Santos will match wits as the coaches of season 13 of the hit Spike TV reality series. Junior Dos Santos did not want to wait for current UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez to heal from his injury, after the filming of TUF 13, Lesnar and dos Santos will then match fists in the Octagon at a date and location to be announced in June and the winner to face Velasquez once he is healthy.
The last time heavyweights coached the show was during season eight in 2008, when dos Santos’ mentor, “Minotauro” Nogueira, faced off against former champion Frank Mir. This season, the two will coach a host of welterweight hopefuls looking to secure a UFC contract.
Lesnar vs Dos Santos will be a really intriguing matchup.
