#4. UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal

UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal would make for an amusing yet effective coach for the upcoming season of TUF. Hailing from the streets of Miami, Florida, Masvidal has captured the world's attention on multiple occasions. As the owner of the fastest knockout in UFC history, it's no surprise a fighter like Masvidal found his way onto the list.

Jorge Masvidal is an entertaining fighter and a massive draw in the sport. He would make for an incredible coach on the next season of TUF. The former two-time welterweight title contender is on the mend after suffering a rib injury according to former friend/training partner Colby Covington.

Even without Covington, Jorge Masvidal is a viable coach for the next season of TUF. 'Gamebred' is a natural on camera and would sell a season of TUF like few are able to. In the lead-up to his fight with Darren Till, the former 170-pound title challenger sat down with Till and calmly explained his intentions.

'Gamebred' is a veteran of the game and can offer young upstarts a unique perspective on the field of work they plan to excel in. Jorge Masvidal has a knack for entertainment and would make for a viable coach for the upcoming season of TUF.


#3. UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori

UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori would make a great coach for an upcoming season of TUF. The UFC middleweight was tasked with facing Israel Adesanya twice. While Vettori came up short in both outings, the 185-pound fighter proved to be hilarious on the microphone and feisty at press conferences.

With entertainment being a valued commodity when it comes to TUF, Vettori would be a fun and interesting coach on the show. With head coach Rafael Cordeiro in his corner, the young but hungry middleweight is learning to make his way amongst a division packed full of killers. Marvin Vettori displayed great cardio in his latest outing against Paulo Costa.

The fight against Paulo Costa went the full five rounds. While Costa had some success in the brief times they were primarily striking, Vettori ran away with the contest with his constant forward pressure and wrestling. Even after Costa missed weight, Vettori mostly laughed it off like a professional.

The pace of the fight was outrageous, and Marvin Vettori proved he is among the best 185-pound fighters in the UFC. The fighter is known for his zest and angry personality, but knows how to dial things in when it comes to preparing for competition. After showing the type of toughness that Vettori did, surely many fans would appreciate 'The Italian Dream' as a potential coach on TUF.
