If this is true, the 14th season of TUF will most likely be the highest rated season in the history of the show just from the trash talking alone.
Good way for Sonnen to ease back into the UFC.
"The war of words between UFC middleweights Michael Bisping and Chael Sonnen may be coming to a head.
The UFC and e TV are reportedly planning on featuring the two outspoken and controversial fighters as coaches for The Ultimate Fighter 14, which is expected to debut in September.
Dave Meltzer reports that the plan would include a pay-per-view fight between the two in December with the winner receiving a middleweight le shot sometime in 2012.
The two fighters have recently gone on record claiming they would greatly appreciate the opportunity to fight each other.
Sonnen (25-11-1) called out Bisping (21-3) following Bisping’s controversial win over Jorge Rivera at UFC 127 in February in which the Brit spit towards Rivera’s cornermen following the bout. Subsequently, Bisping stated that he would welcome a fight with Sonnen because he is “an amazing fighter”.
Meltzer reports that several obstacles must be passed before Sonnen can return to the UFC, including his impending sentencing hearing for mortgage fraud on April 8 where it’s expected that the former number one contender will receive two years probation and a $10,000 fine. He will also be forced to forfeit his real estate license.
Sonnen will also need to reapply for his fight license after being suspended for a positive drug test from his August loss to middleweight champ Anderson Silva.
A private meeting was held several weeks ago, according to Meltzer, between UFC President Dana White, CEO Lorenzo Fer ta, Sonnen and the Nevada State Athletic Commission in order to try and smooth over the situation regarding Sonnen’s license. Sonnen claimed that he had a conversation with NSAC executive director Keith Kizer about the approval of utilizing testosterone during his hearing before the California State Athletic Commission, a claim that Kizer vehemently denied.
When asked by Kizer why he lied, Sonnen stated that “he didn’t mean to imply that he directly talked with (Kizer), but that his manager, Matt Lindland, had gone over his need for medical use of testosterone (with Kizer)”.
Bisping may face his own issues in getting licensed in Nevada for his actions during and after the Rivera bout and already had a significant post-fight bonuses withheld by the UFC as punishment for his actions."

I'm not gonna get my hopes up simply cause this would be UNREAL!
One thing to stay positive about, the article wasn't posted on April 1st
I'd DVR every episode. Little guys being coached by loud-mouthed middleweights is too good to be true.
Sonnen will demolish Bisping psychologically
I will be glued to every second of TUF if Sonnen is a coach and I haven't kept up with the series since Season 1.

I hate how government bodies screw up everything that's awesome. Hookers. Underage Drinking. Sonnen coaching TUF against Sonnen.
Dammit.
White always plays coy with this stuff. Chael IMO will coach TUF as long as his hearing goes as expected. He is not gonna be fighting on TUF so his license issue can be worked out later.. I bet as long as they are talking about the license they let him coach. Kizer is just a lackey. The dude basically works for Dana..http://www.cagepotato.com/well-damn-...e-to-problems/

Sonnen on radio
Sonnen totally kissed Keith Kizer's ass, but if that's what will get him back in the cage then by all means do it!
Kizer is a in head.. Dude is always looking to have his ego rubbed. Chael is one of the best fighters around so lets just get on with his career already..
