I agree with you that TUF 4 really shouldn't count as those were guys that already had UFC careers.
It's because it seems that TUF veterans get a disproportionate amount of TV fights to thier 17%.

that was a sweet fight, I thought Noke had him done, he dominated the first round, or at least most of the action.

Great post! Interesting to see all the fighters broken down like this. There are some really good fighters that are TUF alumni, but also some serious cans. TUF does a good job of sorting them out which is why I like the show, especially this season where they have to fight their way in.

Charles "Captain Miserable" McCarthy is back in the UFC fighting Bisbing at 83. Funny cause I thought he was one of the worst fighters to come through TUF, I guess they are feeding him to Bisbing for his middleweight debut.

Definitly Forrest at #1 but I would move Serra up to #2 since he did beat GSP (fluke or not), plus his BJJ is pretty damn good.
