Michael Bisping's understudies on TUF 14 have been warned not to step out of line, because the Brit will "absolutely annihilate" them.

Bisping will lead a group of bantamweights and featherweights on the latest series of The Ultimate Fighter against Jason Miller, in what promises to be one of the most explosive seasons for years. The Brit has already coached a team in the past, on TUF 9, when Andre Winner was one of his fledgling stars. Winner went on to lose in the final to Ross Pearson.

Bisping will be an ideal coach for a new batch of fighters according to Winner, but he remembers the time when he thought he could try his luck against the middleweight contender.

"Mike wants his team to work hard at all times, but he'll have a laugh with you," Winner told ESPN. "Just don't piss him off because when I was on the show I thought, 'I can land a few punches on Bisping', and he absolutely annihilated me!

"Mike's a great character, there's a misconception about Mike, he's a good guy. He'll be great for the guys in the house because he's really hands-on and always over at the house etc.

"Mayhem is crazy though so it'll make great TV. I'm really excited about that match-up. They'll both wind each other up; actually they might just get along because they're both that crazy!"
