TUF 5 when and who

[Cracked_Knuckle]

When does it start and who are the fighters and all the coaches and stuff? Anyone got some news?

[Rattlesnake840]

BJ and Jens for the coaches, ive heard its 16 Lightweights 8 vets and 8 new guys. Dont know for sure what fighters are there, but there is a rumor around dallas that Marcus Hicks " Local dallas figher" will be on the show.

I've had time for it to sink in and I'm still not real excited about BJ and Jens coaching.

Having said that I was not interested in Tito and Ken or Frank and Hughes but both series were cool.

I think Pulver's loss against Lauzon took a LOT of steam out of this. Right now he's basically a guy from the past who got cocky and got TWATTED by some lanky kid.

Interesting to see his coaching style.

Wonder if Penn will have his guys swimming, surfing, climbing trees etc. and taking every other day off?

Pulver got caught, it happens. i for one am excited about Pulver coaching and I think he has a good chance of beating BJ. His standup is better, he has good takedown and submission defence and he has better cardio. Plus he is from MFS so he will take their good coaching skills into TUF with him.

are there any names yet for the fighters in the show?

[Fozzy]

well, as far as I last heard BJ and Jens isnt until July, so don't expect the TV show to start until 2 months or so beforehand. usually takes about that much to get through their 10-12 eps.
