Ultimate
Fighting Championship president Dana White over the weekend officially
announced that Forrest Griffin and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson would
serve as coaches for the seventh season of “The Ultimate Fighter”
reality show.

The series begins filming in January and will air in April 2008 on Spike TV.

Following the regular season, Griffin and Jackson will fight for Jackson’s light heavyweight championship.

White
made the Griffin announcement at the end of season finale for season
six of The Ultimate Fighter. He also indicated that there would be
major changes as the series marks its seventh season, saying, “We’re
going to completely revamp and change the show.” Both White and Spike
TV executives are being extremely secretive about the changes.

The Jackson announcement came during Sunday night’s airing of the 2007 Video Game Awards on Spike TV.

I'm sure it has a lot to do with Forrest beating a very highly ranked Maricio Rua and also his popularity with the fan, and being a TUF alumni.

Can't say he's undisputed #1 contender but he deserves the shot just like anybody else and it just happens to be his turn.
