Tito is no kind of coach!
you think rampage was a good coach!!?? are you retarded? You probably only watched this past season of TUF but still. he was the worst coach ive ever seen! how can you even think that?
I think ramp was the most entertaining but not the best for winning anything, I also think he will knock rashad out in the fight
tito was a good coach thats y he was second
Trevor Wittman sky rocketted Rashads team!
I thought Matt Serra was a great coach... Go Other!
Dude ur just a Tito hater. Because from what i saw he made his fighters better wether they made it in the UFC or not the fighters he coached improved oh and by the way 3 of his fighters on the show are in the UFC and doing pretty damn well.
Yea Tito was a good coach, but I think that Ken Shamrock made him look even 100 times bettter than he was because Tito actually trained with his guys and gave them great first hand experience, while Shamrock just sat back and watched.
rampage was the worst coach in tuf history and i think rich franklin was the classiest coach of all time
Gotta give it to Tito. He may be a dick but he's a great coach.
Agree! Tito has his bad points, but he was a hell of a coach on TUF 3!
Yea Tito's only mistake was not picking Ed Herman
i hate him, but im not a hater like that so..... i give it 2 tito aswell
Nog for me.
Gonna go wit Rashad just cause he almost sweeped Rampage
rampage just sucked rashad wasnt a good coach he just picked the right people because rampage was an idiot.... plus he had greg jacksons team doing all the training
Tito dominated the third season,and it produced alot of great fighter.
Its easy to dominate when the opposing team has The Worlds Dangerous Man as a coach...
Not Tito's fault that Ken was off his meds.
Wheres Rampage?! even tho hes like 2-14 on the ultimate fighter, hes still funny as hell. Sore loser tho
Must be Forrest,Rashad and tito these 3 guys dominated when they where coaches
Tito, he really embraced all the fighters regardless of their talents or "handicaps" and showed us all a very different side of him we never knew.
rampage but i voted rashad
Matt Serra for sure
Rashad for his record definitely. He got all over rampage for not supporting his fighters when they lost. I'm not a fan of rashad but I think he has done the best so far. But if I wanted to have someone train me. Tito 100 percent.
Have Tito train you? I'd probably end up snapping his neck in practice after the first 30min.
Snap Tito's neck? Hhhhmmmm. OK LOL.
i DON'T LIKE rASHAD MUCH BUT HE WAS A GREAT COACH. IF HE NEVER WON ANOTHER FIGHT, HE WOULD BE A GREAT COACH. i VOTED FOR FORREST THO. HE WAS ALSO GOOD AND HE GOT IN THERE WITH HIS TEAM JUST LIKE RASHAD DID.
THE WORST COACHES THOO WERE RAMPAGE SEASON 10 AND BOT MATT HUGHES AND MATT SERA FROM SEASON SIX. IT WAS ALL ABOUT THEM.
I thought Serra was a good coach
Tito, Serra, Randy were all great, Nog's team looked good. Haven't seen all of them, but Tito however he comes across in interviews had some good training techniques, very motivational and along with Sol on striking and Lister on Grappling could turn anyone with 2 arms n 2 legs into a handy fighter. But having Serra shouting instructions from your corner throughout the fight would be fantastic.
Got to be Nog. Easily he was the most friendliest coach and really cared for his team on a personal level. Became really good friends with them and didn't make it into a personal battle.
As TUF does, they always pit coaches against each other who are really big rivals. But not once in that season did Nog even suggest that it was "Nog vs Mir". It was all about his guys going on there and getting the win. Not about how he was gonna smash Mir's face in once they season was over.
i think matt serra was the best coach. he won a lot of fights he wasnt suppose to and i think he only lost 2. rashad did a great job too, but rampage did more damage than good for his fighters. same with tito. ken shamrock didnt give a shit about his fighters. i also think jens pulver did a good job too, but bj just wasn't into it.
i voted for jens, and not just because he just (maybe) retired. i don't see how bj can be up there rather than jens.
I was really impressed by Tito it caught me off guard.
rampage was the best of the worst,but i think rashad did a pretty good job.
Hmmm. No love for Bisping, eh? Didn't he and his team did awfully well in the Us vs. UK?
Both his fighters won their finale and a bunch of them are now fighting in the UFC. I remember being impressed when Bisping used a video he found on youtube to spot an opponents weakness.
He might not be the best coach, but you have to put him near the top.
Tito.
It's funny how Rampage did not even make the list! He was horrible!
I think overall BJ Penn was my favorite do to the fact that his knowledge is so complex when the fighters fought inside the Octagon. Let alone he was extremely technical!
Top Two:
1) BJ Penn
2) Antonio Nogueira
