Georges St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck, the two coaches on this season of The Ultimate Fighter, agreed on one thing after assessing all the prospects on this year’s show: The best of the bunch was Michael Johnson.

But even though Koscheck had the first pick, it was St. Pierre who used a little deception to trick Koscheck into bypassing Johnson when the two picked their teams. That resulted in Johnson going to Team GSP, which is where he said he wanted to go.

In an interview with MMAFighting.com, Johnson talked about how he felt learning that St. Pierre wanted him above all the other fighters, and about some friction with his teammate, Alex “Bruce Leroy” Cacares, who won the fight on the second episode of Season 12.
