UFC.comUFC President Dana White announced today 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.
Following the season, which begins filming this month and begins airing on March 30, Lesnar and dos Santos will then match fists in the Octagon later in 2011.
Various reports from twitter are saying the rumors of Brock wanting to go to the WWE/not returning to the UFC were false. Also there will be no interim title on the line when these two meet, they are fighting for #1 contender. The fight will be "100% in June" and could be the headliner for the UFC's first foray into Vancouver.
Interesting that Brock gets completely exposed and gets instantly plugged into a #1 contender's bout. A season of TUF with Brock as a coach and fighting for a title shot at the end of the show will be a HUGE money maker, I get it, but Brock needs to be built back up. This is very winnable for Brock as long as he takes down and lays on JDS for 3 rounds, but I dont think he will have closed the gap between him and Cain if he wins, possibly setting up Cain/Brock II wayyy too soon.
Would much rather have seen JDS/Carwin for interim title and Brock/Mir as coaches but it is what it is.
