Bisping Out of the Running as TUF Coach Due to Movie Role

by S.C. Michaelson on Nov 18, 2010 7:35 AM EST

According to the latest Wrestling Observer:

Regarding Michael Bisping faces Jorge Rivera, they decided not to go with Bisping as a TUF coach. Bisping was also offered a serious movie role by U.K. director Noel Clark, which will be shooting in the spring, so he wanted to fight in February.

Noel Clark is probably best known to British fans as the Black guy on "Doctor Who". He's best known to American fans as "Negro who?"

So with Bisping out of the running, it seems as if the UFC options are limited. It'll be interesting to see who they finally choose to settle on.

uh oh....

just another MMA guy that thinks he can act. Can you say; “box office disaster” or “straight to DVD”?

I’m really hoping for Miguel Torres and Urijah Faber, if not just for the fight itself, but to get some love for the lower weight classes for the masses to see.

Benson Henderson/Anthony Pettis winner vs. Maynard/Edgar winner?

If Bisping was a coach on TUF

I wouldn’t watch it.

Good

I’m sure Zuffa would like to get some ratings in Europe having Bisping as a coach, but I’d rather see somebody new as a coach.

How about Wandy/Leben? Sonnen/Okami? Cain/JDS? Aldo/Chuck Norris?

I’m tired of TUF holding belts up. I’d suggest Nelson/Lesnar to give Roy something to do while waiting for his legal nonsense to get sorted out (I assume it only applies to actually fighting, not UFC TV shows) but Brock would never agree to it.
