Duffee fight canceled

As someone who is attending UFC 107, i cant help but feel down that he had to withdraw. I saw his 7 second KO and was happy that he was on an card that was already pretty good against a veteran that would test him.

What are yalls thoughts on him? Bust? Potential?

I've learned not to get so excited over prospects in MMA, they rarely sustain.

He has potential for sure, but a lot remains to be seen. His next couple of fights will tell a lot.

He injured his back from what I heard. Check on mmaweekly's website. That's where I read it.

Would have been a test for Duffee for sure, but I for one am thinking Buentello would probably get the KO in the first. 2 losses in like last 14-15 fights to Arlovski and Ubereem ain't to shabby.

I saw his last non-ufc fight and his first ufc fight and I was not impressed.

Sure, he's big and looks like a body-builder, but as of now he hasn't impressed me with his striking or wrestling. He has power, but so do tons of other big guys.

He has potential as a good "sprawl and brawl" fighter. By the way, the duffee fight being cancelled is fairly old news.
