burke is spot on IMO. The only guy who I thought would give Dollaway a challenge was Paul Bradley who actually has slightly better wrestling credentials however he has already signed a deal with Elite XC like I said so he obviously didn't win.

I think they did it by weightclasses, so everyone in his weightclass already fought... I think...

This guy reminds me of Luke Cummo but more outgoing and aggressive. I look forward to watching him fight again. He's the dark horse in my opinion.

Winners? Sleepers? Are you people kidding me? Sleepers? You haven't even seen all 16 of the fighters, nor any judgement if this guy is better then this guy or that guy is better then this guy, and you guys are talking about sleepers?
Atleast wait till they fight once they're inside the house so you can see a full fight evaluation from them for christ sake.
And if there is a sleeper it sure as crap isn't going to be Jeremy May....the guy had his hands down his entire fight, that's a KO waiting to happen.

^ Well if you do some research on some of the fighters than it's not crazy to pick a winner since some of them have some solid backgrounds in both MMA and other disciplines.
I mean Paul Bradley and CB Dollaway are both National wrestling qualifiers and have both fought on some average sized shows. Gerald Harris has fought in the IFL twice. It's not like all of these guys are unknowns.
So picking a winner right now really isn't crazy. And if you don't want to then why come in a thread about who's going to win? Is it to make yourself feel special because you are to smart to pick a winner?

Does it make you feel special that you know a select bunch of fighters on the show? I don't care if they are accomplished wrestlers or not. You haven't seen half of the fighters fight so there's no need to predict who will win or who is a sleeper especially when you haven't seen them all. How can there be sleepers and winners when you haven't even seen all of them?
I don't care who has fought here or there, the fact remains is you havent seen all of them. Understand? Harris fought in the IFL...wow. Steve Byrnes fought in the UFC and he's already out of the competition, by who? A guy no one on here sure as shit never heard of. Did he even have a professional fight before?Like I said, it's stupid to make predictions and sleepers when the majority of these fighters no one has heard of and the majority of people you haven't even seen fight. Wait though, "there's nothing crazy about picking winners...Steve Byrnes fought in the UFC before so we know who some of the fighters are", that throws your theory out the window.
And don't be talking to me about "looking cool, feeling special" when you were the one preaching about how Mike Swick was the future of the middleweight division. But as long as you felt special it's okay, making a bold and unusual statement that no one but maybe 3 people agreed with, were you trying to look smart then because I'm pretty sure everyone sure as shit knew Mike Swick was never the future of the middleweight division. Maybe you can take another risk or leap in saying Mike Swick is the future of the welterweight division, a much tougher weightclass in the UFC.
If anything you should feel special because you're predicting winners with only seeing 4 fights, the other 4 being clips, and 16 fighters that havent fought yet who I'm sure the majority of you never saw fight.

It's just for fun...the whole point of the thread was so we could make guesses without knowing anything, and then check back after the show to see if we were right. Don't like the concept? Don't post, but you don't have to be so damn negative all the time, I don't know why you come to the TUF section of the forum, I've never seen you say anything remotely positive.

First Off If you dont like my thread dont post in it.
Secondly This thread is for us to make guesses through out the show right now we are doing the guessing on who is going to win basically on limited knowledge of fighters we have before the show and the few fights we saw. After a few episodes The fighter we think will win may change and we can post that name and so on and so forth.
I just thought it would be fun to see how everyones views on who the it guy is changes through out the show. Again sorry that you dont like it but what gives you the right to come into my thread and try to ruin it for the people that do.
