Roy Nelson and Shane Carwin Announced as Coaches for ?TUF 16: Fat David vs. Goliath?

(For his final masterpiece, Michelangelo decided to pay tribute to the Biblical hero's fall from grace through the medium of hamstone. The results were shocking, yet delicious.) As is likely the case for most of you, we here at CagePotato are more than willing to admit that we all but completely missed out on the failed experiment that was TUF Live. The placement of the show on Friday nights, the rehashed trash-talk and pranks between coaches; it just seemed all too played out and tired to really get us hooked. The fact that Dominick Cruz tore his ACL with only a couple episodes to go only furthered our belief that the season would have been a complete loss if not for the uplifting story of the season's lightweight winner, Don Cheadle (or something like that). So when Dana White informed USA TODAY Sports yesterday that the coaches for this season would be polar opposite heavyweights Roy Nelson and Shane Carwin, it more than piqued our interest. Aside from being the winner of the show's tenth (and arguably least talent filled) season, TUF: Heavyweights, Nelson is by all accounts, one entertaining and funny sumbitch. Carwin, on the other hand, has shown before that he is up for a good joshing�as long as it is not aimed at him. If you recall, the last time we got on Carwin's bad side, Old Dad packed up his things, fled, faked his death, died his eyebrows, and attended his own funeral as a man named Phil Schiffley. The last we heard, he was still reporting on all things MMA from a one man vessel in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean out of fear that "The Engineer" was still looking for him. So clearly, the potential for hilarity between these two on the set is higher than Nelson's cholesterol levels.
