this question is inspired by completes other post about coaching.
granted this will never be an option for me, but i think that it would be a great opprotunity. and i honestly think, or hope at least, that i would make more out of the opprotunity than the guys on the show are now. i dunno if it is just how they edit it, but they don't really spend that much time training. i think i would go insane in that house with nothing to do, so might as well train more and harder. after all, when will they ever have a chance like that again to do nothing but MA??
If I was 15 years younger, I think I would seriously consider it if I had the chance. I still wouldn't ever consider becoming a professional fight but would be fun to be on TUF and get a chance to train like that.
what do you think the show would be like if they made it longer but trained people who had little to no experience in MA??
it would not work..... there are so many basics in MA that you would have to teach that it would be insane. you need to start off with a bunch of guys that know the basics so in and out that they don't even need to think about it...... things like, where the head goes the body follow..... the optimal distance and angle your feet should be at (GOD i hated teaching white belts this, no matter what age they were so clueless!!).... the power comes from the hips..... all those things that take forever to get through to a person but that make up a fighter.
I too would do it.
Along the lines of having a show based those with no experience of it, I'd like them to cash in on the boxing v MMA debate. Boxing is my first love, but I get annoyed by those in the trade who have no clue about MMA, and dismiss it as not needing skill, dedication etc. Therefore I would love them to get a group of amateur or semi pro boxers in, and see how they are able to add all the extra dimentions required in MMA.

have a team of amateur boxers train in MMA and MA's who speicalize in one or two MA's who train boxing, then before the fight flip a coin to see if its a boxing bout or an MMA bout
If I read the question correctly, it state "would I be on TUF if given the chance?". I would have to answer "NO" at this time. I am too old, slow, and nowhere near in good enough shape to even consider such a thing. Right now, I'd be in the heavyweight class as I am at 225 pounds at 6'0". The heavyweights would KILL me! I only have a few years of MA experience, so I just do not feel I would be anywhere near ready to take advantage of such a great opportunity. Let someone more deserving have it for now.
If you had a chance to be on TUF would you?
