What could possibly be more legit than going through a tournament to win your belt?Carla and Nicco's titles don't count IMO.
Florian had an incredible run in three separate divisions, although he fell short of a title.
Usman would need to win the title and defend to stake his claim.
Forrest and Rashad had great careers and won titles, but I don't think they have any argument for the top spot.
Diego has had the greatest longevity at a high level.
Bisping is similar to Diego, but has a championship on his resume as well.
Whittaker could stake his claim with a few more title defenses.
Suarez might be the dark horse in the discussion because she seems destined to wear gold and keep it for a long time.
Tony has an incredible streak going, so if beats Khabib he might jump to near the top of the list.
In my humble opinion though, all of them are behind TJ though as a two-time champ and possibly a champ-champ after his next fight.
I didn’t mean to say their titles were meaningless, just that I didn’t think winning their championships off of TUF seasons is anywhere near as impressive as the accomplishments of many of the other people in the discussion. Those belts are the same thing as the TUF trophy, IMO. They simply won their season. Winning a championship in the shark tank of the UFC is just much more impressive, so I discount those two from consideration in the “Best TUFer” debate.What could possibly be more legit than going through a tournament to win your belt?
He won home cooked travesties.....he lost to silva, leben, hammill, etc. etc. etc......Utter bollocks. He whooped the drug addicts Silva and hendo. He retired Alan belcher even after belcher almost poked his eye out earlier in that fight. Karma. You should have seen how I laughed
Yea well he actually won, idiot,He won home cooked travesties.....he lost to silva, leben, hammill, etc. etc. etc......
I wish Elvis sinocic had finished him in that fight......he got fukt in his twat but elvis was too tired to finish him.......
Thankfully Gsp ended him.......I was sooooooo happy when he got beat into retirement.....but selfishly wish he would fight again so we could watch him fight Romero, Rockhold again, Weidman, jacare or anyone they don’t handpick and hold in EnglandYea well he actually won, idiot,
Diego certainly upped his marketability when he stopped grappling and started taking stand up beatings. Heck, last time I checked they were still wheeling him out there for beatings. No one has ever eaten more clean punches in the head than Diego Sanchez.Who's the tufer that failed to live up to expectations the most?
Gotta be Diego or Joe daddy right?
Bj Penn is catching up on himDiego certainly upped his marketability when he stopped grappling and started taking stand up beatings. Heck, last time I checked they were still wheeling him out there for beatings. No one has ever eaten more clean punches in the head than Diego Sanchez.

I’d go with this guy. Dana was convinced he was the next GSP.Who's the tufer that failed to live up to expectations the most?

Is that phillipe novar? I remember the danus kept saying he was the next anderson Silva. Same with uriah hall.I’d go with this guy. Dana was convinced he was the next GSP.
Uriah Hall.Who's the tufer that failed to live up to expectations the most?

I still remember him being mounted on the show and KOing dude with a punch from the bottom, that shit was wildUriah Hall.
He was the most terrifying guy ever in that show. If he had a little Dan Henderson in him then he would’ve been a champion.I still remember him being mounted on the show and KOing dude with a punch from the bottom, that shit was wild
