TUF Dream Team

Frank Mir has a huge challenge ahead of not and its not just in Minotauro Nogueira.  Nogueira's coaching team for TUF 8 is reported to be UFC middleweight Champ Anderson Silva and light heavywieght contender Lyoto Machida.  From Tatame.com.br and traslated via google:

Rodrigo Minotauro's team on TUF just got two top-notch reinforcements to battle Frank Mir's team. Minota (as he's also known in Brazil) will be aided by a UFC Champion, Anderson Silva, and Lyoto Machida, who walked right through Tito Ortiz on UFC 84, in his athletes' trainning sessions. "I want to appologize to Leal Combat, but I've got a contract with the UFC, and won't be able to attend to their event", said Anderson Silva, who's already with Lyoto at the house where they film the tv show, to help Minotauro get one more victory in his carreer

The contestants for this next TUF season will have the benefit of training with three of the world's best mix martial artist and Minotauro will have excellent training partners to prepare him for his fight against Mir. 

Imagine all of the things the participants will learn from those three... Anderson Silva's sweep or Lyoto's switch kickMachida_switchkick_medium

Maybe all their fighters will be Brazilian? I don’t really know how well Silva & Machida will be able to coach them through a translator

Machida actually speaks pretty good English.

I would love to see a USA vs Brazil TUF.

4×155, 4×170, 4×185, 4×205 for each country. Have 2 head coaches for each country and they fight amongst themselves to get the winner at each weight from each country, who then face each other at the finale.
