I agree I can't figure out why people are putting him on there, and I forgot to put somebody on one of my lists.

heres my list excluding the winners.
marcus davis - won every fight in the ufc since the finale, by stoppage from the most part as well
josh koshcheck - great wrestling credentials and his standup has improved substantially since tuf
chris leben - say what you want about him as a person, but as a fighter he is non stop action. he got mauled by silva, lebens brawling is no match for precise technical striking though. i was very impressed with leben in the terry martin fight, his standup is alot more technical nowadays.
kenny florian - very good standup with the best leg kicks and elbows in the lw division. he also has good submissions and tdd to boot. what makes him more impressive is that he looks like a natural 145 fighter, yet he does so well at lightweight.
joe lauzon - made a name for himself by beating jens pulver, then proved that it wasn't a fluke with his performances in tuf5. very tough explosive fighter and has alot of potential.
keith jardine - didn't really impress me untill the liddell fight. he really upped his game for that fight, keeping the iceman at bay with kicks for most of the fight.
mike swick - very aggressive, nice hand speed with some wicked ko power to boot. he should be a force at welterweight.
nate quarry - was one of the favirotes in the first tuf, but had to be sidelined due to injury. when he healed up he showed why he was hyped so much. the first tuf contestant to earn a title shot, even though he got dominated its still a great accomplishment.
i don't understand why anyone has emerson in their list. he hasn't won a single fight with the ufc, the closest he came was when an opponent knocked himself out. yes his standup is decent, but i wouldn't rank it top of the division without getting some tko/ko's with it first.

Obviously Andy "The Wangster" Wang and Gabe "The Ice Cream Man" Ruediger
seriously I think Forrest is the most exciting fighter which makes him the best in my opinion I dont mind if guys lose as long as they try their best to win.

Please guys stop all this crap about Emerson. Why all of a sudden do people on this forums think he is good. Nakamura will beat him and show you all Emerson is a C level WEC fighter if he is lucky.

I agree, Emerson isn't good at all. But anyway, the best TUF fighter would probably have to be Forrest.

Scarola really wasn't a bad fighter, he just turned out to be a bitch. He was the only fighter that wasn't dominated by Mac.

yeah, if he had a better attitude, he probably would have got a rematch with Mac instead of Koloski
