Brock Lesnar: He May Be Good TV, But He Would Be a Terrible TUF Coach

Since his defeat at the hands of Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 in October, Brock Lesnar has been in hiding. With much speculation about who his next opponent should be lighting up the message boards, one would have to question if there would be a necessary bump in promoting the fight simply due to the fact that the man who was once thought to be unbeatable now has had his proverbial card pulled. 

An ideal vehicle for Lesnar's comeback could be a stint on the Ultimate Fighter as a coach, but let's face it, Lesnar is just not that type of fighter. 

Why is that you ask? Well let us show you a few reasons why. 

No. 1: He's Not a Team Player

The picture says it all. Look who he is pointing at, Numero Uno. While that may be great during a pay-per-view card, an Ultimate Fighter coach has to be selfless and willing to put the team's needs ahead of his own glory. 

A perfect example of this was during the recent season of TUF, coach Georges St. Pierre admitted that he would prefer to serve as more of a training partner than a coach, which for anyone is something that will instantly make you a better fighter. 

However, Lesnar is used to being the focus and never really comes off as the type to pass along his knowledge on a young and upcoming UFC fighter. 

No. 2: His Training Staff Consists of a Bunch of Yes Men

While Lesnar has gotten marginally better as a fighter since he first stepped into the Octagon, his training camp has lead him astray quite a bit by not shoring up his stand up game, and frankly it's that weak link that cost him the title. 

It's tough to improve as a fighter when the people training you only want to ensure that you're happy, rather than force you out of your comfort zone. 

It's a fairly conceivable notion that the same team would be chosen to help Lesnar train his recruits, which ultimately wouldn't do them any good at all.  

No. 3: Lesnar Only Wants the Spotlight on His Terms

Unlike other UFC stars, Lesnar shuns the spotlight. It's highly unlikely that you'll ever catch him at a Vegas after party. In fact he rarely ever leaves his Minnesota home, and has his trainers come to him. 

With the amount of press demands and coverage that a TUF coach needs to endure, Lesnar will quickly grow tired of the routine. 

Let's remember that Brock's been on the biggest stages in the world during his WWE days, and he's not looking to go back to it.
