Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen will not be the opposing coaches on season thirteen of The Ultimate Fighter, according to sources Fighters Only has spoken to.
Urijah Faber is also out of the running according to one of sources.
But Fighters Only understands that it is still very possible that one or both coaching spots will be taken by recently arrivals from the WEC.
Mir-Lesnar was mooted but Mir is now reportedly lined up for a fight with Schaub after fans revolted against the prospect of a rubber match so soon.
With the absorbing of the WEC, the UFC now has new fighters and new weight classes to promote. The chance to showcase an exciting new division such as bantamweight will be attractive.
