An article on ufc.com evaluted the fighters from TUF2 and how they have fared 2 years into their ufc careers. Jardine, Evans, and Stevenson were considered the top guns while josh burkman and marcus davis were considered one win away. compartively Sanchez, Koscheck, Florian, Swick, Griffin, and Bonnar are considered to be the best from season one. I am excited about how many guys from the two seasons are making an impact and have bright futures. Obviously the TUF1 guys have had more success with florian getting a title shot and swick, kos, and sanchez being high up their respective rankings. taking into consideration that TUF2 fighters havent been in the ufc as long which cast has a brighter future?

If Rashad beats Tito I will agree with you but if he loses it's a toss up.

I said one based on the fact that imo the only fighters that will have a chance to fight for the title on season 1 are diego and kos. For season 2 the only fighter I see challenging for a title is rashad (maybe jardine, I doubt daddy) Add that to the fact that ken-flo and nate quarry have already challenged for the title (I know, neither were deserving)

I'd say Joe Daddy has a 10x better chance of fighting for the 155 title than Jardine does of even sniffing the 205 title. Jardine should've gotten fed to Thiago Silva for his next fight, but they gave him some Houston can instead, Jardine will lose to his next good opponent.
I'd go with season 1 because I think Kos has a very bright future, Diego is much better than his last appearance and has already beaten Karo, & Diaz. Swick will be a decent 170, Forrest isn't very good but he's not afraid to fight anybody. Bonnar... I don't talk about juicers, he sucks.

i think season 1 has more fighters, with good potential, season 2 has fewer fighters, with more potential

[gtijla]

i say season 2 because i think rashad and stevenson have much brighter futures than any1 else from tuf so far. i also think that these 2 are also closer to title shots than any1 else from tuf, except maybe kos now. but still season 2 IMO.

In a tight race, I'll say TUF1. Although Rashad & Daddy have huge potential they haven't yet faced the caliber of fighter to prove that they've arrived like the season 1 guys. Griffin beat Ortiz (I could give a crap what the judges said). Sanchez beat Diaz and Karo. Granted all of these guys, minus Kos have taken a step back because of a loss, but they are at least in the discussion when it comes to title shots. I think that in 4 or 5 years, TUF2 may have had the 1st title holder, but TUF one will have more guys on the "short lists" of contenders.

What the fuck Leben isn't even considered a contender anymore? The guy is 6-2 1 loss being to the champion who destroyed Rich Franklin even worse,and another to a very game and underestimated Jason McDonald,the guy has unorthodox sick sick submissions...just think its fucked up that Leben isnt included on the list of TUF 1 talent and Swick is and Leben knocked Swick out fucking cold.

[biggdogg]

I would say tuf 1 if you add leben to the mix!
