Amirs way to small for 185 IMO. A lot of the guys on the show were which is usually the way with TUF as they have so little time to make weight.
I like the Paul Taylor idea, he's pretty well known after nearly KOing Marcus Davis and is about the right level for Amirs first fight cos IMO Amirs is still very much a work in progress.
I think Taylor could give Amir trouble on the feet cos he's got some of the best striking at 170 IMO so it would be a good stand up war but still not a major risky fight for a TUF winner con Taylors ground game's pretty horrible TBH.
I just hope the UFC don't throw Amir in at the deep end too soon. He's not a veteran like Danzig was when he won the show. What I see with Amir is just a huge bag of potential and I hope the UFC don't cut him after a loss or two if he gets thrown in with tough opponents.
If he moves down Paul Taylor or Jess Liaudin are pretty much the perfect match ups. Casual viewers have some fimilarity with who they are so it isn't gonna be 'whose the dude?'
At 185 I'd toss him in there with Alan Belcher. Belcher will stand with him, and I think Amir would finish him there. Would be a good fight to.

Amir would maul Arroyo. Saunders however, would be an exciting match-up as he is quite well rounded (although pretty unorthodox).
