Chael and Tito being great coaches reminds me of alot of pro wrestling. In pro wrestling the heel (bad guy) takes the lead in the matches, he's the one making the decisions in the ring. To be an effective heel you have to know how to work the crowds, understand what works and make adjustments on the fly, the heels are usually the smartest guys when it comes to their craft and find a ton of work backstage when their in ring career is over. While Tito trips over his words alot there's no denying that when it comes to mma the man has a ton of insight andunderstanding of how to get the best out if the ppl that works with him, same goes with Uncle chael

I’m sorry but how... how... HOW is Jens Pulver not on this list? He dominated Penn in the opening round, had both of his guys in the finals, kept his composure during numerous incidents such as the “pick a guy” fiasco, was extremely my supportive of guys like Diaz and Weems, and even took on an additional team member that BJ kicked off his team. I think he definitely deserves to be on here.

Jens Pulver had to put up with a lot of BS from the show, BJ, and even some fighters. Despite all of that adversity, the finale was fought between two of HIS fighters, and he created arguably the most successful TUF winner of all time.
