In Season 18, which debuts Wednesday, UFC women's bantamweight champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey and No. 3 contender Miesha (Cupcake) Tate square off as coaches in charge of male and female bantamweights (135-pounders).
"It's going to be a great season," he said. "I know what goes on during the fights but I don't see the reality (side) or anything of that unless something bad happens and then I get involved. charming hotel spain It's a great season."
Valerie Letourneau (4-3) of Montreal, Jessica Rakoczy (1-3) of Hamilton, and Sarah Moras (3-1) of Kelowna, B.C., carry the Canadian flag among the women while the men include Louis Fisette (6-1) of Winnipeg and Josh Hill (9-0) of Hamilton.
Rousey, after defeating Liz Carmouche at UFC 157 in the UFC's first women's bout, was due to coach against No. 1 contender Cat Zingano, who beat Tate in April. But Zingano injured her knee and the UFC, ignoring No. 2 Sarah Kaufman of Victoria, opted for Tate as a replacement.
"They (the producers) kind of go for the drama aspect a little bit by forcing you to be around somebody that you can stand all the time. And you can't do anything about it ... You're purposely put into a situation that's really going to unnerve you.
"It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be," she said. "Dealing with Ronda every single day obviously wasn't a cake walk. And getting so emotionally invested in the fighters ... it was pretty intense. It was a long six weeks of training every day, and dealing with another person that you just don't like.
"It was very challenging and I'm really glad that I got to do it and I learned a lot. But like I said, it was just way tougher (than I thought), you get so emotionally invested in your team too. You take their wins and losses like they're yours."
"I'm glad that that happened because it really strengthened me and helped me to not let her get inside my head, like she did the first time. She really emotionally and mentally challenged me and she won that. She definitely got it my head and I was too emotional going into the fight. But after being around her for six weeks eventually it was just like 'All right, get out of here. I'm tired of your crap.'"
"The only reason I don't like her personally is because she's always been so disrespectful to me," Tate said. "Put yourself in my shoes. I'm the (Strikeforce) champion, I've never heard of this Ronda Rousey girl and all of a sudden I see an interview with her and she says 'Oh I'm going to drop to 135 (pounds) and I'm going to slap that title out of her hands.' And it just went from there.
"And that was the tone that I got from her from the very beginning, because I was the champion at the time. It's hard to like someone who just comes at you and is so disrespectful and so aggressive. I think if anyone were me, they would have felt a little bit offended.
"And then obviously I lost to her so I was a little bitter about that. But I've moved on since and I am happy for what she's been able to do for women's MMA. ... But I'm never going to be happy around someone who's constantly disrespectful and constantly just like on me and my loved ones."
Asked if she hated Tate, Rousey replied: charming hotel spain "Hate is a very strong word. I don't hate her at all. I don't hate her boyfriend (fighter Bryan Caraway) but I'm close to it. I have strong disdain for him," she said.
