Just watched the latest episode and Dana White just hyped Tommy Speers saying he could become a force in the welterweight division. I personally see it from the otherside of the fence in that for the second week in a row Tommy Speers got caught in another deep submission attempt. Anyone who relies on his strength so much to get himself out of trouble so often will never contend for a title shot in the 170lb division. Maybe one day after he takes enough embarassing losses to learn to submission game but not anytime in the near future.

I'm just curious to see what other people think about Speers and his potential.

The idea of a "true number one contender" is the stupidiest MMA idea to be perpetuated by fans and media, EVER.
