Yeah I have always wondered that too, maybe its so they dont have to train there future rivals (tito vs hammill) I always thought it was so the coaches were much bigger except the heavyweight season was coached by the light heavies, although rashad and rampage are well into the heavyweight range while they arent cutting for fights

I don't think this season looks that good, I didn't really get into any of the guys last night. No one really seemed to stand out so far, but it's still really early

I wondered the same (about the coaches weight class vs the fighters) but I figured it was all a money thing. People wanna see Brock vs. JDS, so that coaching match-up made sense. They just had HWs on TUF a few seasons back, so they had to mix it up anyway. The theory about not wanting to coach fighters that they could eventually meet in the Octagon (especially for title contention - ala GSP vs. Matt Serra!) makes sense too though!
What do you think of Brock's coaching style vs Dos Santos? It seems like Brock is all about the win and not about helping the athletes, but then again everyone's goal there is to win so who can blame him. Also, he only seemed interested in the wrestlers. I get it since that's his strength, but as a fighter and coach, you should be trying to help your team be more well-rounded, no?
I don't know though... looking forward to seeing how the season plays out!

theres a guy there from Mexico, I dont know his name but he looks good
yeah he was really focused on there cardio level and not the well rounded aspect and there training did seem odd but we will see how it progresses as the season does. Brock is a competitive person to the extreme so he wants to really win no doubt, so did KOS and that didnt work out too well for him. I like Brock alot more now then I have in the past thats for sure, I may even root for his team this season

What's the incentive for the coaches to win? Is it only bragging rights or do they get a bonus if one of their fighters wins the show?

That's cool, I just wasn't sure if they got like a monetary bonus for their fighters' wins.
Maybe if brock were more well rounded himself then he would be a better coach.
IMO the first fight of the season was pathetic. A wrestler with no submission moves and a striker with almost zero take down defense. These guys were the cream of the crop?

The one guy was Lesnars last pic and the winner said he didnt want to display all his skills with the 1st match so we will see
Lol. That was no easy 'win' for him. Like you would risk a bad decision on hiding some skill. You come out and dominate first fight...if you can.

I can't say I disagree with you... but Lesnar will bring in the ratings, so we'll see how the rest of the season goes.
Right... JDS's first pick against Lesnar's last pick. Smart strategy by JDS' team... it obviously paid off. But I'm with you guys... nice wrestling, but WTF... once he was in position, he did absolutely nothing to end the fight. The kid needed to strike or go for a submission or something. You don't earn respect by laying on a dude each round and not trying to finish the fight! And WHY wouldn't you want to display your skills from the very start? You WANT to catch the federation, the coaches and the other fighters' attention by going in and doing some serious work. That's a bs statement to not give it your all each and every time!

ok 1st part yeah lay and pray ala gsp or fitch and the 2nd thing could be a stategy so they dont know how to train for him in his upcoming fights on the show, now whether he actually has more to offer is to be seen, but if he in fact does, it can be a good tactic, but it depends on how his next bout goes whether we will be able to call bs or not

Don't they still get a fight bonus for stopping the fight early? I know in the first few seasons they got like $2500 for a stopped fight
