Bisping and Lombard?

Man, Australia needs some more elite fighters.

Lombard is a complete unknown at this point, and if he gets beat by Stann, what happens?

Still holding out for Canada vs. Brazil with GSP/Silva fighting.

Amen, brother.

It's the PacMan/Money of MMA.

The Primetime episode alone would be amazing.

Xenophobia has reached fever pitch at sherdog over this lol. I have no idea why this is happening I doubt we have the talent pool for it. It will be interesting but I am not expecting anyone decent and there's no combination of coaches I'd have any interest in either.

One fairly decent idea I read was that instead of having one coach have a team of like three coaches for each country, and they all fight their counterparts in their own weight class at the end. That would somewhat make up for the lack of star power.

^ good idea... schedules might be difficult to come together.

Perosh vs any lhw imo.

Perosh is Aussie? I thought he was from Mt. Olympus.

Too bad George Sot is not a top 5 contender anymore.

Remember, this isn't going to be the successor to TUF Live: Cruz vs. Faber, but TUF Brazil. It doesn't really matter if we can't see George Sot or Kyle Noke coaching a TUF season as long as the Australian fans would get behind it.

Lombard would make sense I guess, but if he beats Stann, he's probably getting a title shot.

I think G-Sot is really the only guy anyone here would know of. Perosh is getting there but he's about as marketable as white paint so it would be tough to draw casuals in with him heading the show as a coach.

What they really need to do is get someone already well known to join as a fighter. Like a former footballer or something, that would draw way way more attention than anything else. We've got football players who do boxing on the side selling PPV's fighting against fat mechanics with 3-10 records who train three times a week purely because of who they are.

G-Sot and Pearson announced as coaches

Are people excited about this in Australia?

Do they fight when it's over? G-Sot is still at 155 and Pearson is at 145, right?

I think it was Ariel who reported that Pearson was moving back up.

The general public really don't give a **** at all, but people in the MMA community are into it. One of my brothers coaches (http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Gustavo-Falciroli-23776) tried out and didn't make it through the personality testing part, shame because the one fight I've seen from him (in One FC) he was really impressive.

What does your bro train, blkout?

He's been doing bjj for ages, I think he does muay thai too now. He does bjj tournaments all the time but hasn't competed in muay thai yet. He quit his last job because they changed his hours and it interfered with his training lol he's obsessed

That's awesome.
