SOME of you may have seen my appearance on the seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter last week.
Rampage Jackson is a friend of mine and he asked me to go on the show because I’ve been through it myself and know how it all works.

He wanted me to go in there to see the guys for a bit and lend a hand and I really enjoyed it.

I’d absolutely love to be a coach on the show myself one day – 150%! The Ultimate Fighter is a part of the reason I am where I am today. I think the show is a fantastic vehicle for mixed martial arts and for aspiring fighters.

If I could be involved with The Ultimate Fighter TV show in any way, shape or form - be it as a coach or whatever – well that would be amazing.

But I’d have to think long and hard about who I’d want as my opposing coach though!!

Personally, I don't think he will ever be good enough to be coaching a bunch of guys on the show. Who do you think would be a good opposing coach if he ever did get the chance in the future?

As if he would get to pick lol. I even thought it was weird that Forrest Griffin was a coach, Bisping don't make much sence, unless he's got some kind of coaching experience we don't know about.

Bisping would also like to be champion someday. That will never happen either. I think only top tier fighters should be selected to coach. Sadly, Bisping isn't top tier. He's gotten more play than he's really earned in my opinion. Sure, he works hard and tries hard, but if you don't have the stuff, you can't justify hanging with the big boys.

I like bisping as a person. He seems humble, nice and funny. But the words bisping and champion in the same sentence would be a good premise to a joke.

I think it's a litle premature to talk about Bisping being a champion but I also think it not smart to completely count him out. He just moved to 185 people, his last fight he looked great and he'll only get better. Good enough to beat Silva or Franklin? I didn't say that but stranger things have happened. It all depends how hungry he is and he has looked pretty hungry lately. Let's give him a year or two and then talk further.
