I agree that Tito should have been brought back instead. It would even have made a good finale. Tito and Rashad’s first fight ended in a draw so it would have been a good set up. Like him or not, I was very impressed with Tito as a coach. He genuinely seemed to enjoy doing it. Rampage isn’t as bad as Ken Shamrock, who often didn’t even hold practices, but he just isn’t cut out for coaching. He doesn’t have the patience. One thing that I think needs to be mentioned is Rashad’s staff. I think he’s done an excellent job with the guys he’s brought in. They’re all extremely professional and talented at breaking down technique to their guys. Rampage on the other hand seems to have just brought in some meat heads that he can go to the bar with.

[...] Let’s start of with the obvious, the coaches rallying around Kimbo after he lost. This is the first time any of Team Rampage’s coaches and even Quinton “Rampage” Jackson showed any concern for someone who lost. Rampage has Kimbo Slice’s [expletive] in his mouth and so does Tiki Ghosn. When Rampage told Tiki they would still focus on Kimbo just in case someone got hurt, it was clear to me that it was all about Kimbo and no one else on our team. The coaches decided to go to lunch after we had our practice. Okay, it was two hours before the fight. I mean, go grab a sub or some fast food but don’t go to a sitdown restaurant. It showed that they weren’t thinking about Demico or his fight…It just showed where Rampage’s head was. Then after the fight, they just left Demico in the cage by himself…It was ridiculous and showed Rampage has basically given up on his team. The coaches went to have a meeting and came back to the locker room. That’s when Rampage told Demico he gave up in the cage. You never say that to a fighter when his dream at being The Ultimate Fighter was just taken away. What kind of coaching style is that? Also the last thing Rampage said was that he had to go and read a part of the book he was carrying around for his acting class. I have an idea, why don’t you start acting like a [expletive] coach Rampage’s heart is somewhere — maybe in acting — but at least from what we’ve seen so far it wasn’t in coaching season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter.

Rampage is a piece of shit…how could he leave these guys out there to dry!! Just because he’s made it in the mma world doesnt mean he can take these guys oportunity and set it aside. I am very pissed at this guy, and coming from me that says alot, seeing that when he first came to ufc i nearly had a heart attack of happiness!!

Yeah his coaching sucks. They need to put guys in that CAN coach, and not just set up a Finale. Get Tito back in there. Hughes wasn’t bad. Rashad’s doin a great job as a coach if you ask me. There’s just too many of them that suck or just don’t care and I think they should see the show as a place to build talent and set it up to take advantage of that.
