Silva wants TUF role

Wanderlei Silva has expressed his interest in becoming a coach on The Ultimate Fighter, but admits he may be too hot-headed for the role.

Silva has admitted that he has spoken with UFC president Dana White about a coaching role in a future series.

‘The Axe Murderer’ says he could end up fighting most of the housemates himself, after watching TUF 8.

“I’ve spoken to Dana and he’s spoken to me about future opportunities for working as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter,” Silva told Setanta Sports.

“But he needs to make sure the guys stick to the letter of the law!

“I saw the last series and man, I’ve got Brazilian blood…I’m so hot-headed…I would want to (gestures to clip them)

“It’s so interesting though, the reality show is incredible, I love it.

“You watch the guys training and fighting, it’s incredible.”
