"The plan from Spike TV and UFC for the next season of Ultimate Fighter, which would air September through December, is to have Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping as coaches to build to a PPV match in December. The winner would likely be in line for the first middleweight title match of 2012."
"Neither UFC nor Spike can publicly announce this due to Sonnen not being licensed in Nevada. ... The decision, rumored for weeks, is controversial and will likely be heavily criticized if it does happen."
I know it's been suggested and rumoured before, but this makes it seem more likely. Thoughts?
I like it. Two of the most entertaining fighters in MMA, and going by the debut episode of TUF 13 and Lesnar and JDS's boringness, that can only be a good thing. I don't have strong like or dislike towards either fighter like some people do.. but I do find them both funny.
I also think that these two probably deserve a title shot the most in the UFC after Okami, so it makes sense that this will be for #1 contendership. Elsewhere in the MW division there's Munoz/Maia and Santiago/Stann. Also, I could see the Wand/Vitor fight being made, and I think Marquardt/Akiyama will be rescheduled. So yeah, I think Sonnen and Bisping deserve the shot the most. Chael was only minutes away from taking the belt, and Bisping's 3-fight win streak is the best out of any of the contenders except Okami.

Cruz and Faber were supposedly gonna be coaches, but that's not happening now, and they'll instead fight at UFC 132.
