    Not sure if this is old news, but the UFC website says the coaches for TUF 11 will be Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell.

    I personally have no interest in seeing that fight, just two past-it fighters with no chance of going for any titles.

    Yeah agree its a little pointless, Liddell is already 2-0 over Tito. Theres no real need for a third match. Anyway neither man is top 15 in the Devision any more, Ive not interest in watching these 2 again either.

    What will a win over Liddell mean for Tito? Nothing people will say Chuck is shot. A win for Liddell over Tito could well set up a big fight like Forrest Griffin or someone. But really I dont think either figher is relevant to the devision. disapointed. But at least the standard of athlete should be better than this season.

    I think Griffin will get the winner of this regardless of who wins.

    Chuck really has nothing to lose. Everyone knows he's finished, he's been knocked out 3 times in his last 5 fights and lost 4 of those 5.

    If Tito loses this fight though, he'll look really bad. A lot of people(and by that i mean Dana and his cronies) are putting the Forrest fight down to ring rust. That won't be an excuse this time. If Ortiz loses to a shot Liddell having lost to Forrest who i think is done as a competitor in the division, he may as well retire.

    Funnily enough, no1 has mentioned any of the "injuries" Tito suffered in the build-up to the Forrest fight since his in-ring excuse-athon.

    At least Chuck and Tito are both relevant fighters who've won a fight in the last 3 years and have LIKEABLE personalities!

    My first thoughts were,Why? who needs to see that again.

    But to be fair,I enjoyed the build up and the fights in the first two.


    Tito seems to be an even bigger dick now than what he was like in the day,with all of his stupid excuses after he claimed he was 100%.
    He claims he was at only 70% in both of the fights against Chuck,well I think the 70% version of the old Chuck we have now is still going to batter Tito.
    An attacking Chuck is always fun to watch and since Tito's striking seems to have not got any better under Roache,Chuck shouldn't have to worry about being clipped standing,so if Chucks sprawl is still tight,Chuck should finish him again.

    Yeah I got Liddell to win again, Titos Standup hasnt improved at all, Chuck is about as good skillwise as he ever was, maby he was even become slightly more well rounded, If a little slowed. His Chin has gone but against Tito this shouldnt be a problem as long as Tito hasnt mounted him and raining down elbows! I think Chuck will keep this standing and batter Tito is similar fashion to the other figths ending Titos run as a top contender.

    I hope we see Liddell vs Griffin thats fight that works for me.

    My last post should read that Chuck and Forrest are relevant fighters with likeable personalities.

    But at least the standard of athlete should be better than this season.

    lets hope so

    i agree with what has bein said with regard to the two being kinda past it but it should be entertaining

    now if you throw in a good bunch of talent along with that it could be a great series.

    Rampage and Rashad is a fight i was looking forward to seeing no doubt but this season was arse-ballonie.

    If Ken Shamrock gets word of this he's gona be straight in there and then we'll get the rematch we really wana see

    Tito vs Shamrock IV

    Surely it would have made more sense to have the Forrest-Tito fight at 106 as winner becomes coach at TUF against Lidell.

    I am actually quite pleased that Chuck will continue to fight, after suggestions that he was going to retire after Shogun beat him.

    The advertising could say: "TUF 11 - Well nobody else wanted to do it?"
