When Raquel "Rocky" Pennington fights Meisha "Cupcake" Tate at UFC 205, Rocky will be fighting her TUF 18 coach.

In what previous UFC fights did a TUF contestant get matched against his TUF coach?

The first truly original thread I've seen in a while, though.
 
GSP and Hughes were coaches in various parts of TUF 4 and they went on to fight Matt Serra. Rich Franklin had fought Rivera and DeWees earlier on in their careers. He fought Lutter afterwards as well.
 
Oh, lauzon also fought Jens pulver right before tuf 5 if that counts.
 
Surprised nobody's mentioned Lauzon and Pulver.
 
Ryan Bader is booked to fight his TUF coach, Nogueira
 
Sarah Moras... how soon do I forget? Please forgive me!
