UFC President Dana White announces former heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar and top contender Junior dos Santos as the opposing coaches for season 13 of “The Ultimate Fighter.”
“We were sitting there working on this thing for such a long time, that at the press conference everyone kept asking me about (TUF). I’m behind the eight ball on this one, I should have had this done already but so many things happened. The injury to Cain Velasquez, now we’re looking at Junior dos Santos who been waiting on this title shot and possibly having to sit out. So it made all the sense in the World once we knew how long Cain was going to be out…”
White also addressed the rumors concerning Lesnar and his interest in the sport.
“I liked all the rumors that Brock didn’t want to do this anymore. That Brock wanted to be a WWE wrestler again, none of that was true. Obviously I was in communication with Brock and his team, talking to them the whole time.”
