No contenders - Page 2

I really think this is a sign of how healthy mma is now, that guys like Koscheck, Sanchez, and Forrest don't need the show to get in front of Dana. If you are an 8-1 pro, you have ways of getting noticed without moving into the house. I enjoy the show, but it may be on it's way out.

CB Dollaway will wreck shit once this season is over. He will be a contender within a year or two.

Matt Riddle also has the potential to be a contender, though he is probably at least two years behind Dollaway in terms of his development as a fighter.

Me and my friend have also decided that no one is a contender on the show but seriously was a Forrest a contender when he was on the first season. Hell no, with time and training i'm sure there will be a couple well knowns in the next few years to come.

Still too early to call it IMO.

This season his horrible as far as skills except for maybe 2 or 3 fighters.

They all lack technique. One may be a striker but really he is not that good of a striker. others may be grapplers but there transitions are so horrible there passes are horrible Its ridiculous.

after watching the first couple of show's, i wonder what the people looked like that didn't make the cut for the final 32.

My pick to win this whole show is Gerald Harris.

He was an absolute BEAST in his first fight and I see shades of Rampage's style in the dude.

So far I agree with you 100%. Hopefully some of these later fighters are good.

Agree'd, athleticism goes a long way when your young in the sport.

He looks like he can keep his head in the game and stay focused, mix that with good training and athleticism and you've got a very good lookin green fighter.

That's a bold prediction. None of these guys have the $$ to train full time, and winning this show gives them the opportunity to do so.

Dolloway may have the potential to be better than Bisping, but I think it's going way overboard to put him in the top 5 right now.
