Rousey vs. Tate/Cat winner as TUF coaches
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
TUF 18 could feature the first set of twins as contestants. Jillian & Jocelyn Lybarger are twins from Phoenix that currently train at The Lab with Bendo, Escudero, Varner, Moraga & Riggs and currently Miesha Tate & her boyfriend Bryan Caraway. Miesha opted for the crew at The Lab instead of her usual crew at Team Alpha male because of the success they've had lately.
Jocelyn has been given the task to train with Tate daily in efforts to get her ready for Zingano and a possible title shot and coaching job.
Jocelyn had her first pro fight under the Invicta banner. They both fight at 125, but would move up to 135 for a shot to make the cast.

Does anyonelse think that rousey is giving DW anal for all this exposure.
DW "no women ever" then after a weekend meeting, he says "hell yeah! Women in the ufc 4 life! Rousey rules!!!" My guess, anal.

I know this is a troll job, but I'll reply anyway.
It's not as though Dana said "no women ever" then the next day he decided to let women in the UFC. There was about a year between Dana saying that we'll never have women in the UFC and the announcement that there would be. And the WMMA scene changed a hell of a lot in that year.

And at least Jill is a homosexual, so she could be the 2nd out-of-the-closet UFC fighter.

Not a troll job, just wanted some laughs. I'msure DW is going where the $$$ takes him, and Rousey is a money maker. I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked if this turned out to be true.

No, I don't think Dana told Tito or Cyborg about it. I don't even think Ronda knew until AFTER her fight.
What I'm saying is if it didn't already look bad for Tito before, it looks even worse NOW. Because its clear that HAD she signed, she would have been coaching against Ronda.
I think that's what Dana meant when he said "This thing is already rolling. Cyborg missed the train...". It's like an extra slap in the face to Tito. And by the time she wants to try and come back the division is going to be building new talent.
Tito made his first big management decision, and it's looking to be an elic failure.

Definatley would have been better exposure and good for TV. Tito would have told Cyborg how to act in front of the camera's. It will still be an epic fued though, if Cyborg & Rousey do meet up next year.

What's also being overlooked in this whole thing is that Cyborg would have been coaching against Ronda in probably the most anticipated season of TUF ever, had it not been for her brilliant manager Tito Ortiz.
So Tito felt it would be a better career move to have Cris headline a ppv card that less than 100k people will see rather than be featured on TUF which is sure to pull record ratings. Good job, Tito. Smh...

Maybe, or she'll be the first ever UFC female Featherweight/145lb. Champion when Zuffa purchases Invicta and establishes the division in the UFC. (they are in two different divisions after all)

Never thought of this, but it makes sense. Espacially if they draw better thena the 135/145 lbs men.

How great would it be if the other female coach brought in Cyborg to be one of the coches just to distract Rousey from her fighting gameplan.

Would be good TV, but not very realistic. Cat has her own team with her husband Mauricio Zingano, and Miesha has her own crew as well.
I think Cyborg will be home like us watching the epic ratings.

Jocelyn is also out, just not married like Jill. But if Miesha gives her the chance I'm sure she would wifey her up in a second....lol
