View Poll Results: Best fighter to come from TUF show

Venom · 07-07-2006, 03:01 AM

Right now Bisping and Diego are the best fighters but Griffin has better accomplishments and in the long run will have the better career.
Bisping hasn't even had his first fight in the UFC yet besides the TUF 3 finale. Griffin has beat some tough opponents. Jeff Monson, Elvis Siniosic, etc.. Some of the decisions he's lost were controversial. When he fought Dan Severn that was controversial decision. When he fought Tito Ortiz, that was a controversial decision. in my opinion, Griffin has fought the toughest opponents out of all of them, and fared really well against them. Diego has beat some tough guys, but he still has more to prove. Griffin proved he can hang with the big boys. As for Evans, well, he needs to become more of a Mixed Martial artist. Rashad has done nothing but win judges points by making it a wrestling match. The judges are mediocre and he just gets slams and just wrestles with his opponents the entire match. If he wrestled with Matt Hammill, Hammer would beat him. Rashad is an excellent wrestler but he needs to become a mixed martial artist. Forrest needs to improve on his strength. He needs to start bulking a little and become stronger. He also needs to become more of a smarter, pin-point striker rather than a brawler. He is very tough, really-well conditioned and has a huge heart. Diego has great submissions and is a good wrestler but needs to improve striking and face tougher opponents. Mike Bisping needs to fight someone

Btw, why aren't Mike Swick, Kenny Florian, or Chris Leben on this list? I know none of them won, but Leben almost had a title match and Florian and Swick are close to title matches.

Island... Are you by chance from Long Island?????

I'm gonna say either of these three:

- Rashad Evans ( Rashad is an extremely strong fighter, and have you see this guys slams, i say wow. When he went up against that Brad Imes or whatever his name is, there was a major size difference and still won.

- Michael 'The Count' Bisping ( very well rounded fighter, excellent striking ability with nice leg kicks, and has a very good ground game.)

- Diego Sanchez ( This would be my overall pick, Diego is also very strong and when it hits the ground he has excellent menouverability, he can ground and pound or go for the submission. And if he can't get you down he can be an ok striker.) I see him getting a title shot in the next year or so.

I think Bisping will have the most success, if his fighting continues to improve.

Totally agree there. Bisping is the real deal and I htink over time we'll see him as a real contender at 205.

Diego and Bisping

As for Rashad, i honestly dont really see him as being that good. Yes he has potential and he could be a good fighter but now i dont really see it. He is basically just a wrestler. I wouldnt really call him a good striker because he can't really finish a fight from what i've seen.

Bipsing will go furthest. Future 205 champion.

First fight is going to be on the September Ultimate Fight Night, his opponent is not yet confirmed.

teampunishment · 07-14-2006, 03:50 AM

Wonder if they will feed him Rashad or Bonnar?

I would say Sanchez was the best to come from Ultimate Fighter because he was a good fighter in the series, and is unbeaten so far in UFC

diego sanchez has it all.
forrest griffin will stay a very popular fighter (maybe not the best) but very popular.
and bisbing will become a very popular fighter as he smashes some of the allready thriving ufc guys.
