After his victory last night he mentioned something about him and Silva on the ultimate fighter???
Is this the offer he couldn't refuse??
Would certainly make sense what with Wandy's injury layoff and Leben won't fight for a while now after 2 fights in a fortnight.
And he is already a coach at his own school iirc as is Wandy...

That's interesting. They did say they were returning to brazil AND doing team brazil for TUF. Added with Leben saying he was made an offer he couldn't refuse and with wandy being out for a while this all makes sense.

I think Leban and Silva as next TUF coaches would be fantastic! Great idea!

Wouldnt be the best idea for Zuffa/UFC
Cant see Leben pulling in a ton of viewers, so doesnt make any sense really.
The guy is a low-mid tier fighter with hardly any draw.

leben is not a star but i think the public could really get behind him cuz he is a blue collar dude thats fights very Hard and he could become alot more popular with more exposure.

I thought it was that Akyiama and the media were ripping Leden for being an Ultimate Fighter when Akiyama was supposed to be fighting a PRIDE legend.
But maybe i misinterpreted.

Yes and No. Bisping has the media skill to attract viewers playing the bad guy from the UK wanting to smash Hendo. The UFC knew what they were doing with Bisping, playing off on the whole US v UK. Hillbillys love that s---, they all love a good sing song YOO ESS AY, YOO ESS AY!

The more I think about it, the more I like it too.
Leben was the original TUF bad ***, acting like an idiot, and being a general prick to the people in the house. Since then, he has been winning a good majority of his fights, and just co-main evented a HUGE card. He also operates and coaches his own gym in Hawaii, and really has cleaned up his act over the past few years. Add in, he is also a veteran of the sport now, 5 years of fighting in the UFC.
Wanderlei Silva is an international star, and has a BIG name in the states, Japan, Brazil, and so-on. Plus, he also runs his own gym as well. He has been in some of the best wars in Pride, and is starting to get some success within the cage as well.
It would definitly make for an interesting season.

Would certainly make sense what with Wandy's injury layoff and Leben won't fight for a while now after 2 fights in a fortnight.
And he is already a coach at his own school iirc as is Wandy...

Did you just actually use the word fortnight?! :lol:

Don't care if they coach, but would love to see the fight.

I find it interesting that Leben wants to be a TUF Coach; especially with his homie Koscheck set to coach on season 12.
And if it's USA VS Brazil, I don't like the idea of Leben being the spearhead for Team USA.

I think you're forgetting that they've never fought. Leben fought Anderson Silva.

Wrong Silva. We are talking Wandi, not Anderson.

I like this idea, but I think they want Leben to fight in November against Wandy...
