Strange combination, seeing as there is absolutely no sporting or cultural rivalry of any kind between us, (we don't even play any of the same sports FFS) but that's cool. Most likely to be filmed in Montreal, apparently. Coaches not announced yet. Patrick Cote wants the job. Hopefully they find someone to represent us better than old misery-guts Sot. Gotta say, I like this international TUF series being a continuing thing. Canada vs Australia is an odd pairing, but I like it. It all helps to raise the profile of the sport around the world and identify/develop promising talents from places that aren't the USA or to a lesser extent Brazil. The more international exposure and competition the better I reckon. :smoke :hat
They won't get any better being tucked away at the bottom of the world, toiling away against regional competition without access to the big show and with nothing concrete to strive for. :good :hat
Good opportunity to discover talent. Raise UFC profile in Aus and Canada. Win win Maybe Perosh or Noke will step up.
Hope It goes the same way The Smashes went that was a great Season of TUF non of that macho bull****. Hard to think who would coach......Maybe Lombard and Cote or Carmont ?
I thought they were gonna go with Aus v UK again and have Bisping and Lombard as coaches, the way Lombard called out Bisping on the finale seemed like it was a done deal.
I remember a few years ago we played cricket against Canada (I think it was in the commonwealth games) and the Canadians were out there with pens and paper getting autographs before the toss
