This is just a rumour, so take it with a pinch of salt, but Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen are rumoured to be coaching the 3rd season of TUF Brazil.

Dana recently stated he will soon have 'shocking news' regarding TUF Brazil 3. With Sonnen/Wandy a huge rivalry, and with Sonnen able to speak perfect Portugease, it is rumoured these 2 as coaches will be the shocking announcement.

Somehow I doubt it. Vegas probably...but not Brazil. What Brazillian fighter would want to be on the American Gangster's team.

On top of that Wandy was already on, but this match up would be funny.

I wonder if Wandy can control himself though...hahah.

I dont think any TUF contestant really gives a shit who their coach is. They are just all very happy to be there and want to win the competition.

Regardless, this will never happen. Just another little rumour about Chael and Wandy, to go with the rest of the publicity these two have been drumming up lately.

Any one that is smart enough to truly want to become a better fighter. Stupid national pride be damned they don't get that quality of wrestling training in brazil and it's historically been the hole in the skill set of fighters coming out of brazil.

Although every discipline is important, they don't really need "that quality of wrestling training" when they can have "that quality of Jiu Jitsu training" instead. Apart his recent win over Shogun's counterfeit copy, historically, Chael himself knows very well these mentioned skill set holes in Brazilian fighters didn't prove enough to grant him a win over the Braziliam competition he fought against, since he tapped to Babalu, Paulo Filho, Maia and Anderson.
Actually they do need that wrestling training because having a glaring hole in your game doesn't work and Chael s losses to brazilians prove that.

Yeah apparently. Correct a translator at an Anderson Silva press conference once if i recall correctly. It'd certainly be interesting, but it's not going to happen. As much as Wandy is putting on a big show ATM saying he wants the fight, I'm convinced he doesn't really want it, and will try and find a way out of it.

This was never the rumour, read some articles, watch the scrum,

Chael in Brazil is a logistical nightmare (security, language, etc)

Dana said two Brazilians, this could be

Jacare and Vitor or Lyoto and Vitor...

Dana:

"People keep asking me if they're going to be the coaches (for TUF Brazil 3). I can't have a Brazilian within 10 feet of Chael Sonnen in America," White said during a press conference in Brazil on Monday. "Imagine bringing Chael Sonnen here for six weeks. I don't think he'd make it."

"I don't have to tell you guys, I stood here what was it a year and a half ago with Anderson (Silva) sitting here, and Chael (Sonnen) sitting here saying horrible things about this country and about the people and about him," White said. "Brazilians do not like Chael Sonnen."
