My biggest takeaway from the Gastelum/Whittaker announcement...

[Epicness]

Who the hell is Kelvin going to coach? I like the guy but literally nothing about him screams “coach”, he can barely take care of his own weight.

Whittaker on the other hand seems like he would be a great guy to learn from. Hopefully Kelvin hands everything off to Cordeiro or some other assistant coach or his team is fucked

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Kelvin can coach Matt Stonie or Furious Pete

 

[INTERL0PER]

Yeah, a guy who's notorious for being a bit lazy and not loving training is not really who want as your coach.

But whatever. It's TUF. Literally no one cares.

I got it.

 

[RiotWyatt]

I haven’t watched in a long time but the only guys I ever felt were actual coaches were Couture and Serra. Maybe Ortiz too, believe it or not.

Or GSP who just brought Greg Jackson and Danaher to coach for him. Those fighters got lucky

 

[One MMA Fan]

It's a publicity show with fights each week.

No one coaches shit most of the time just some general workouts and Kelvin will bring in his MMA Kings crew so it's whatever.

Serious answer Kelvin can teach them about nutrition and discipline.. just do the opposite of what he does.

 

[TheChance]

It is mostly their camps that do the coaching

I thought Chael did really well.

 

[knspiracy]

I thoought we just saw the last ever season & I saw they were also selling the house....
When does ESPN+ kick in?

 

[rollinguillotin]

Implying they are there to coach and not be idiots to amuse other idiots.

 

[ajcobra84]

Don’t matter Gastelum will ktfo of Whitaker then all you haters will be on suicide watch

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He can teach them how to miss weight.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

He can teach them how to miss weight.

I could teach them that and for a lot cheaper.

 

[Thaijitsu612]

I thought Chael did really well.

I really hatred chael back then but was very impressed with him as a coach.

 

[MarloStanfield]

I haven’t watched in a long time but the only guys I ever felt were actual coaches were Couture and Serra. Maybe Ortiz too, believe it or not.

Tito was probably the best coach I’ve seen on the show

 

[Megatronlee]

He will be fine. Shut up

you just described BJ Penn and he was a coach.

"boys, this is where we save on calories by putting the low fat sour cream on our 12lb bacon enchilada"

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Rampage was a worst TUF coach. Over his two seasons, only 3 of his 16 guys even got to the second phase of the competition. That being said, at least Dolloway made it to the finale. Out of three brackets, none of Penn's picks ever reached the finale.
