    The show will be interesting just for the fact that I reckon GSP will make a fantastic coach but the fights themselves are non contests imo.

    Would of been epic if we got Silva as the other coach. Would of built the fight up brilliantly.

    GSP could be a good coach, I've a training DVD by him at home and it's all very good... except fot the fact that he talks like robot.... it's actually quite funny at times.

    Who knows, that may have been part of what was to be announced at the end of UFC 112? We know that DW planned to announce the fight, but it may have been to be the coaches fight at the end of TUF 12.

    On the other hand GSP and Silva are too polite and gentlemanly. The UFC like to have some heat and rivalry between the coaches but the only time Anderson talks crap is in the cage while dancing.

    I suppose a big issue with anderson is his english speaking skills

    Wouldnt Silva be TOO hard on the rookie fighters, no?

    Not if Chael Sonnen is to be believed...
    You want me to let you in on a secret, Anderson Silva speaks perfect English. He just has such a low amount of respect for you and all the rest of the media that he pretends he doesn’t. I’ve had conversations with Anderson Silva in perfect English, and on top of that he’s so boring to listen to that he and his rocket scientist manager, Ed Soares, who is also about as exciting as watching grass grow, have decided that Ed is better on the mic than Anderson, so just let Ed do the talking.

    Although he's a politician so maybe he shouldn't be believed on anything

    I don't think his English is that bad, I've seen him speak pretty good English on UFC "All Access" and sometimes on the Countdown shows. Nogueira's English is iffy at times too and he wasn't hard to understand.

    PS, if this article is to be believed, DW might have a trick up his sleeve for TUF 12, and it's not Kos or Daley.

    (I think that's supposed to read TUF 12 in the title, not TUF 13).

    I like the idea, hope it happens

    I think Jake Sheilds will be more likely to coach TUF 12 or 13 with GSP
