Michael Bisping and Jason "Mayhem" Miller will meet as coaches on season 14 of The Ultimate Fighter
Two of mixed martial arts’ most compelling figures are unquestionably Michael “The Count” Bisping and Jason “Mayhem” Miller, with both garnering more media attention than practically anyone in the middleweight division. The two 185-pound contenders have proven they can fight at the elite level of the sport as well.

But can they coach?

Bisping answered that question as he led two of his fighters to victory on season nine of The Ultimate Fighter. Now it’s Miller’s turn to prove himself against the brash Brit when they collide as coaches on season 14 of The Ultimate Fighter, which begins filming next month in Las Vegas.

Manchester’s Bisping, winner of season three of TUF, is currently riding a three fight winning streak that includes victories over Dan Miller, Yoshihiro Akiyama, and Jorge Rivera.

California’s Miller is back in the UFC after a six year absence where he fought the likes of Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler, Tim Kennedy, and “Jacare” Souza, while also gaining worldwide fame for his stint as host of MTV’s “Bully Beatdown.” In his most recent bout, in September of 2010, he submitted Japanese legend Kazushi Sakuraba, and now he has his sights on Bisping both in the gym and in the Octagon.

Miller’s originally scheduled July bout against Aaron Simpson at UFC 132 has been canceled. A new opponent for Simpson is currently being sought.

DIS GUN BE GOOD

Dat zijn wel twee praatjesmakers van coaches. Dat zal wel een hoop verbaal geweld worden tussen die twee.
 
Zal een leuk seizoen zijn. en denk dat de spanningen wel te snijden zullen zijn. Want zowel bisping als miller werken graag op de zenuwen van de tegenstander in...
Kan niet wachten :)
 
War miller!!

het staat voorlopig nog als een HW bout

ik weet het niet, fedor zou "gemakkelijk" cunnen cutten naar LHW, en als hij dan Hendo verslaat dan is hij LHW champ bij strikeforce?

mss doen ze het in een catch weight van 230? dan moet fedor maar een paar pond cutten en hoeft Hendo niet te cutten, en dan hangt er ook niks van af

le update:

LAS VEGAS -- The expected contest between Fedor Emelianenko and Dan Henderson was officially announced at a catch-weight of 220 pounds on Saturday.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker discussed the fight, set to air July 30 on Showtime from Hoffman Estates, Ill., during a news conference at the MGM Grand.
Emelianenko's camp asked for a 216-220 pound cap, partly as a mechanism to ensure the 34-year-old Russian heavyweight great shows up in shape. Henderson, the current Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, said from the outset that he would agree to compete anywhere on the scale against the former Pride champion.
More important than negotiations over weight during the past several months was whether the bout would air on pay-per-view. Multiple sources confirmed that Emelianenko's $1.5 million purse combined with Henderson's $800,000 payday ensured the date was a money loser, but in the end pay-per-view was eschewed for a slot on Showtime, which has the option of renewing its television rights deal with the Strikeforce brand early next year.

The summer bout marks the first time M-1 Global, Emelianenko's management and promotional company, will work in a joint venture with Zuffa, which bought Strikeforce in March. The promoters share a less than idyllic relationship after several contentious negotiations regarding Emelianenko's services.
In Emelianenko's most recent appearance in the cage, a punishing technical-knockout loss against Antonio Silva in February, the Russian appeared softer than usual around his midsection. He has since traveled to the Netherlands, where he worked on his fitness and technical striking skills.
Emelianenko is scheduled to do so again before meeting Henderson in the suburbs of Chicago.
"I can tell you what Dan [Henderson] told me, he told me I can fight [Emelianenko] at any weight, anytime, any place, just let me fight Fedor," Coker said. "So Dan's really the one who pushed to fight Fedor. He said I've always wanted to fight him, I think I can beat him, and so let's get it on."
Emelianenko has lost two in a row for the first time in his career. Henderson, 40, is 2-1 since signing with Strikeforce last year.
Both Emelianenko (31-3) and Henderson (27-8) are considered among mixed martial arts' most accomplished fighters. Based on the terms of Henderson's contract, the former two-division Pride champion was also owed a fight by the end of July or Strikeforce would be in violation their agreement, parties familiar with Henderson's deal confirmed.
A rumored but unconfirmed undercard could include Muhammed Lawal, a bout between former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Rafael Cavalcante and Ovince St. Preux, as well as a welterweight tilt between Evangelista Santos and Tarec Saffiedine.
