TUF Brazil coaches - Wanderlei Silva, Vitor Belfort! Brazilian sluggers Vitor Belfort (20-9 MMA, 9-5 UFC) and Wanderlei Silva (34-11-1 MMA, 4-6 UFC) will serve as opposing coaches on “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.” UFC president Dana White today announced the selections during a pre-UFC 142 press conference in Rio de Janeiro. The two will coach opposing teams on the first-ever international edition of “TUF,” which in March debuts on Globo, and will oppose each other following the conclusion of the series. “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil” will be produced by Brazilian firm Floresta and air as part of the UFC’s broadcast deal with Globo. The series is expected to feature 12 taped episodes in addition to a live finale. While FUEL TV is expected to air the show in the U.S., UFC president Dana White has yet to officially announce a stateside broadcast partner. When the coaches clash, it will serve as a rematch of a 1998 matchup between the to sluggers. Then just 20 years old, Belfort swarmed Silva in a a UFC 17.5 contest, earning a win in just 44 seconds. Fans around the globe have long called for a rematch, and now – nearly 14 years later – it will finally happen.
