These fighters come off of the TUF season and immediately get a titleshot or a shot at a top contender. All because they beat some tomato can that Dana White handpicked to make these guys look good.

It's one thing to call TUF a hinderence when it first came out, but to call it that now is plain stupidity. Without TUF the MMA landscape is very bleak indeed, as the UFC was drowning and Pride went under on it's own. Without TUF we may be left with barely any MMA.
