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.

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.
