Icon9 No contenders

The fights are exciting and the coaches are perfect choice but,,,,,,,, i haven't seen nobody that will be contender or world champion like i did the last couple of years. nobody i can look at and say he has a chance to make it in this business. just the way i see it.

i kind of agree with you.

but, there is alot of guys who are just starting to get some camera time. so maybe we will see some more potential down the road.

TUF has always been about exposure.

IMO many of the fighters on all the series are only a little bit of luck away from being UFC regulars, but they dont sell tickets due to nobody knowing who they are out of their backyard.

Two of the top fighters are on Rampage's team and have not fought yet. That includes the favorite to win it, Dollaway.

I agree though, nothing too impressive so far.

If you look at past seasons we really don't see the cream of the crop until later in the show. I'm thinking (and praying) that the top guys will show themselves here in the next couple of weeks. Also, these guys really start to look better when they get into some serious camps after the show. The problem with this show that's different from many others is alot of these guys are already in solid camps so I expected a whole lot more.

Dolloway as is, is already in the top 5 in the division in my opinion.

If they fight tonight, he beats Bisping.

No shit. If they were that good, they would already sign a contract especially with shitloads of MMA promotions around nowadays.

I have to agree, to a point. As has been mentioned, several of the more highly thought of fighters haven't fought yet. In addition, several of Forrest's fighters that looked great and active in their 'audition' bout have looked tentative and sluggish in their 'prelim' fight- specifically Brown and Credeur. This has been leading me to believe in the 'overtraining' buzz that's going around about Forrest's team. They've been worked hard, but they've had no time to heal up and adjust so they are looking lackluster. With any luck Credeur and Brown look better in their next bouts.
