Which season 8 fighters will still be around in 2 years?
 

This season has been entertaining to say the least. But there is a lack of really good talent in the pool of fighters that made up the cast of season 8. Which fighters have what it takes to continue a succesful career in the UFC?
My picks:
-The winners Efrain and Bader, probably more because of their titles than anything
-Vinny if he stops pretending he's a striker
-Elliot Marshall

Honorable mention
-Nover (I saw the hole in his psyche at the finals)

I reckon; Bader. Nover. Vinny (if he keeps the fights in the ground).

I personally don't really care for Krzysztof but IMO he could give a few LHW's trouble.Damn it's just too f'ing bad that Joe Silva didn't match him up with E.Marshall at the TUF 8 Finale.
I think that would'a been an explosive brawl!

I can't speak for Efrain but Bader...this guy is the real deal! He will be around in 2 years and it won't because because of the title he holds as TUF8 winner...it's gonna be because of the title he holds around his waist!

Hopefully Krzystof

It is kind of a stacked division but Eliot, Bader, Vinnie, and Krystoph all have potential to stick around.

i think browning will still be around only because of dana. theres no way that browning should have been around to see the finale.

although he did bring about one of the best quotes from dana.

"instead of voting him off. beat him off."
priceless

Everyone says how impressive Junie was...it was clear from the get go with the rediculous entrance that Kaplan didn't give a damn about the fight. Junie will continue his downward spiral once he faces a few serious opponents and will be gone by fall 2009

Shades of Baroni or Mayhem Miller with that entrance.............:)

Bader is gonna be a force to be reckoned with out of any of them and throughout the season, I think he seems to be the most focused and promising. He just seems like a freak.

I'll give Browning a chance because he has shown some potential at times, but I think he needs to take a trek to WEC for a while to gain some more maturity before he's in the octagon with a Griffin or Diaz.

I like Krystof, but i'm not so sure he's good enough to be in the UFC at LHW, his record is very unimpressive against a lot of guys who have themselves, been outcasts of UFC. Other than Alexander and possibly Irvin, here aren't many top 15 or 20 LHW I'd rank him above. Wish him all the best, but don't know if he isn't just a really likable tv star.
Wasn't too impressed with that many others on the show, except for
