Also, the TUF fighters for their debuts need to be fighting B level fighters their first time in. It's important. Half of them weren't even on the first live PPV broadcast, but were on the undercard. So what? What are you crying about? They won their first fights and are now taking steps up in the world to top B level fighters, or lower A level fighters. If they win that match, then you might see some even greater fights. I'm not sure what you are complaining about. Alot of people were saying Gassaway was going to beat Diego, and now all of the sudden they are protecting Diego. What about Spratt? He is well respected and well liked. A lot of people claimed he would KO Koschek and expose his weakness. Instead, it was the other way around. There are rumors of Diego taking on Diaz next. Do you not think that is a huge challenge, a worthy challenge? I don't see what you are complaining about. I think part of the problem is coming from us veteran fans. We think we know so much and we look down on these new fans from TUF and we try to tell them that they don't knwo shit, that their TUF hero's are average, that they are being protected, and then we come to start believing that nonsense. Are they protected? Well, they are not fed to TOP TEN guys right away, not should they be. They are being groomed, by fighting legit tough fighters, but not someone that has far more experience or is an insurmountable challenge.

The time to bitch would be if this continues. If you see Diego continue to fight guys that he "should" beat, then you have a right to bitch. But these guys have had their first fights. Who has had a second fight? Leben, Quarry, Swick, and Koschek? Who have been their opponants for the second fight? Cote, Sell, Ray, and Spratte. And those 4 weren't even the winners of TUF. I'd say that there is nothing to be complaining about at all.
