he was at 86 wearing his team rampage jersey i expect him back in the ufc suprised he is not fighting on the 19th

He will be back. He was one of the higher level fighters coming into the show. Fighting in the IFL is impressive and he did looked impressive against Amir

He was my pick early to win. I saw him back in the IFL he looked solid

What company is that for?

his standup def. needs work. he was hit repeatedly by amir, and not just caught once. however, he has some really good physical tools, and most importantly to me when we're talking about a wrestler, he actually had effective ground and pound, unlike JT$.

I don't think JT was ineffective, but Harris worked more at passing guard. JT was content to stay in guard and pound and it worked.

i don't mean effective as in scoring points- harris was actually causing damage. i know that to some extent it doesn't matter during TUF, but when the level of competition gets higher, a guy who busts people up has a higher ceiling than a blanket.

Harris defeated Brandon McDowell last night in the first round. Hopefully with another win or two he will be in the UFC.

I think this guy deserves a shot in the UFC he is a great wrestler, and could be a force to reckon with

DanTremlett · 07-13-2008, 02:36 PM

I'm surprised he didn't have fight on the Finale show to be honest.

He really impressed me in his fight against Sadollah, particularly his slams. With a bit more standup work, he could be an impressive force.
