With the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter‘s 13th season now in the books, we pause to examine our first impressions of coaches Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos, with a few other pithy observations mixed in for good measure.
I. Who slipped Brock Lesnar a valium? Okay, maybe it’s unfair to expect him to go all ‘Hulk smash!’ on the first day of filming, but the big man did seem especially low-key throughout the entire first episode. The clips from the rest of the season indicate that this trend may not last, which is good news for ratings even if it might not be so beneficial to his team. Lesnar is a big enough star that his name alone can probably pull viewers, but I bet Spike TV would love to poke him with a cattle prod every now and then to make sure he’s still awake.
