The following is an excerpt from an article on MMAWeekly.com:
MMAWeekly reported in early July that Pulver would be one of the coaches on TUF 5. Pulver recently confirmed this to MMAWeekly as he said, “I am coaching the Ultimate Fighter [Season 5].”
Now, Kevin Iole of the Las Vegas Review Journal has revealed that UFC president Dana White has named Penn as Pulver's counterpart.
Not only that, but they will have a rematch on the live season finale on Spike TV. White told Iole, “It just felt right to do it that way.” White added, “A lot of people want to see this fight. There have been people asking to see them fight since about an hour after their first fight.”
Pulver’s manager, Monte Cox, confirmed that Penn is taking on the role of Pulver’s counterpart on the show, and that a rematch between the two had been in the works as they negotiated for Pulver.
