It’s just Chris Cope’s luck that he would be required to fight Chuck O’Neil, one of the only guys to whom he took a liking on “The Ultimate Fighter 13.”
But Cope knows that fighting friends is part of the business, especially on a reality show in which you could end up fighting anyone in the end.
Cope’s Team Lesnar teammates weren’t jazzed that he hung out with the opposing Team Dos Santos during the reality show’s six-week shoot. In fact, they thought he was a spy. But there was a reason he talked to everyone, and it’s the same reason he wasn’t too fazed about fighting Chuck O’Neil.
