well he's not like my best friend lol, just a fighter i talk to on occassions like many others but just a real cool guy. i think a lot of people thought luke won, one of those fights that could go either way. and while there are rivalries, for the most part the fighters do respect each other. even ken and tito shook hands and smiled after their fight. that's what makes this sport the greatest is that respect they show. beat each other's ass then hug, that's what i'm talking about!

Sorry nija usually I agree with you, but Im not a keyboard warrior, actually far from it im fairly new to the internet. I can back what ever I say. I know what your sayn for the record when you saty that . Dont think about me. I just like hearing what people have to say about the whole fight game and fighters. no disrespect.

He is not a good fighter and i think he fights like a girl and i think luke was a better fighter and should have won TUF. Look how joe looked in his first fight, weak as hell.

the luke/stevenson fight was obviously won by stevenson ,but if it was a 5 round fight luke would've won.

Getting back on topic a bit,

Out of all the below average fighters that have come out of TUF, how could you pick Swick as the worst??? What has he done? He doesn't let fights go to decision and he highlight reel knockouts the majority of his opponents. While the highest profile opponent he's faced was Joe Riggs, who's not exactly a headliner now a days, he's working his way up rather easily, you don't go from TUF to a championship match right away, unless you're Nate Quarry (spelling?), and we all saw how that turned out....

I hate the fact Rashad's fights all go to decisions, it doesn't make him terrible because he is winning, but just the fact that he never really puts exclamation points on his matches kind of makes him lose his allure in my eyes.

Swick seems to be the most sucessful.. he doesnt remind me of a TUF fighter

TUF fighters seem to still be developement guys, they seemed to be so raw with there skills.. Swick doesnt seem raw when hes in the octagon, this is a guy that lost to Leben early, and Bonnar on the show.. but I think he would plow through both of them and im a big fan of Bonnar, Swick just seems to be a natural though.

I honestly think Rashad is gonna climb up the LHW ladder in the UFC

I also feel Bisping will be the first TUF to win a title

To my mind, that makes you a TERRIBLE puncher. Furthermore, "The American Psycho"? This guy is so montone and boring - there's absolutely nothing "psycho" about him. He should be called "The American Milksop". If I was Bret Easton Ellis, I'd be pissed that someone that lame had ganked the name of my super edgy and controversial novel. And one more thing, that decision that he got over the due from TUF 2 - he LOST that fight, and the crowd knew it (hence the chorus of boos). Seeing fights called in favor of SpikeTV's "golden boy" like that worries me about the future of the credibility of the UFC. AAAARRRGH!!

.....Okay, calming down now....uncontrollable rage over Stephen Bonner fading....I'll be alright....gimme a minute...

IM WITH YOU!!! I hate bonnar, he is an arogant asshole. Oh...and to answer the question...Jason Thacker, he is too well known and should have never been on TV.

First of all Rashad is a at heart fighter. Hes not some muscle bound fag that decided one day to be a fighter. He has way to much heart more than the comp he has faced. Hes not a athlete that learnind how to fight he is a fighter that
is learning to fight better. I can bet that he has been in more street fights than those guys from TUF2. U can train all you want but if you never been in a street fight you dont know untill it really goes down.

your right bisping is the best. Fianally someone agrees, give him a year then let him fight chuck. In my eyes he has the best chance to beat chuck

One of my boys trains and he is a wrestler that is training to be a fighter. He lost about 2 years ago to some foo that wasnt really on his level, but my boy told me that besides bien a cage fighter, I havent really got into a fight. He said there is a big difference .
