TUF is going to be important to showcase Brazilian MMA in the US, show them how we train united. I showed them that when I was TUF coach and Cigano will show the same. We’ll be going to visit him, me and Anderson, but Cigano is a guy who already knows how to teach, he already teaches. He’ll know how to show the techniques and show why he’s one of the best in the world.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira är säker på att hans träningspartner och nära vän Junior dos Santos kommer ha mycket att lära ut under sin tid som coach i The Ultimate Fighter 13. Med egen erfarenhet som coach i The Ultimate Fighter 8 så kommer han vara till stor nytta för ”Cigano”. Själv kommer ”Minotauro” inte vara med som coach utan bara hälsa på honom i huset tillsammans med bland annat Anderson Silva. Coacherna som dos Santos har med sig berättar han själv om nedan.
I’m still picking my team. Luiz Dorea will be the boxing coach. Billy Schiebe, an American friend, should be the muay Thai coach. I’m thinking of someone else for jiu-jitsu, and the wrestling coach could be Rodrigo Artilheiro, who is very good, and speaks both Portuguese and English, which helps with communication. I think early next week, we’ll have the full team.”
