Which HWs would you have liked to see on a TUF season(just curious)? They may do another come back show for the other weight classes as well after this season.

HW-No one can challenge Sylvia.

LHW-No real competition right now for Chuck ,but there's a couple of young up and comers that could improve like Bisping,Griffin,and Jardine.

MW-Anderson Silva,The Crow in a rematch Nate Marquardt,Chris Leben(It could happen).

WW-GSP,Karo,and Penn could all give Hughes a run for his money.

LW-very competitive division.

Wes Sims, Branden Lee Hinkle, Justin Eilers, Assuerio Silva.

I've said this before.They could've got some of these guys.

Tank Abbott,Kimo,Paul Buentello,Pe de pano Cruz,Justin Eilers,Wes Sims,Mike Kyle,Gan McGee,Assuerio Silva,among others.It would give a much needed kick to the Hw division.

Sounds like a helluva show to me. I personally like the Comeback idea and think it has recharged the show. Would be even bigger if somehow one of TUF4 winners finished off a cinderella story with winning a title. I guess Dana didnt want to risk Tim losing to a reality show winner and really throwing the division into dissaray. Throw Ricco into the mix and i think that would be the best TUF yet though.

They could've threw Arlovski in there too.How else could they justify giving him another title shot?With him on the show they'd actually be able to do something with him.

They could even have some great LHW's who've had some trouble lately go up in weight to be on the show-Mike Van Arsdale,Kevin Randleman,Vernon White,maybe even Ken Shamrock.

Ok, then who in the UFC now will be the man to beat the champ in each class. Who do you think if you had to pick, would be the man in the UFC to beat Silva? Who will be the man you would pick to take the title from Liddell? Franklin and Hughes?

I like your previous choices but I dont want to see a bunch of fighters going up in weight to be on the show because that would defeat the purpose of the show. If they bring back heavy weights, they should be true heavy weights because if they arent, they'd just drop down to a lower weight class after the show.

I would hope that everyone on this site knows enough about this sport to know that all of the upcoming matches for each champ pose serious threats. Penn has already beaten Hughes, and even though Hughes is a different fighter, so is "The Prodigy", so who knows. Monson certainly has the skills to submit Tim, but the opportunity to do so is the question. Tito can beat Chuck on a good night, he has the skills, no matter what anybody says. And finally, anyone who doubts Anderson Silva's ability should watch some tape and see what he can do. I'm not saying he is the hands down pick, but he certainly has a definite chance.

UFC won't sign any more fighters because all they need is one decent fighter against the champion and they will make them fight three times. fighting three times is a years worth for a UFC champion.

Competition at UFC just sucks. Period.

Sylvia would be a mediocre fighter at Pride at best.

Chuck hasn't had a decent competition in years. He fought randy three times and will fight Tito for second time. Oh yeah, he beat babalou a month ago. Where's the quality?

Middleweight is just a one big joke. Franklin will finally fight a decent fighter to fight.

Welterwieght - Hughs and GSP I give respect but I cant really say that with all these crappy competition over the years. Penn fought in Pride with mixed reviews, but he comes to UFC and he's a championship contender all of sudden.

LW - I dont know much about it so I will skip this one fo rUFC.

UFC in general just doesnt have level of competion that Pride has.

UFC could do better if they're willing to bring in more fighters but it seems like they concentrate so much on the story aspect of fighting because they lack the number of skilled fighters. Where's all the money going?
