UFC confirms Rashad and Rampage as coaches for TUF 10

UFC President Dana White has confirmed that former UFC light heavyweight champions Rashad Evans and Quinton ”Rampage” Jackson will be coaches for Season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter.

The season will involve 16 heavyweights for the first time and the production begins in Las Vegas in early June and is expected to last six weeks.

“The tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter is going to be the most highly anticipated one in years, and with two of the greatest pound for pound fighters in the world today, both of which have personalities as large as their skill-sets, it promises to deliver,” Fighters Only Magazine quote White as saying.

The TUF 10 will be the second time that Jackson coaches on the reality series and despite previously insisting he would never do it again, a chance to meet Evans has changed his mind.

“Everybody knows that I don’t like coaching because I am a sore loser when it comes to stuff like that,” he said. “I said I’d never coach again, but I have a good relationship with my first team, and this time I want to go out there and I want to win,

“When I found out who I’d be coaching against, I couldn’t turn it down. Rashad left a bad taste in my mouth. He got up in my face with his bad-ass breath and I’m from Memphis – we don’t like that.”
