TUF title shots?

Nimmy · 09-25-2006, 08:22 AM

how about this for a realistic TUF title shot matches.

Forrest vs Chuck - After Chuck faces tito, and presuming he wins, there are little if not no top contenders outside of Forrest left in the division for Chuck.

Swick vs Franklin - As swick progresses in the division he is surly facing a title shot at somepoint, after Rich vs Silva, give swick a shot at the belt

Sanchez vs Hughes - Sanchez has dominated his opponents to date and after the GSp vs Hughes fight he is the number 1 contender in the division.

Stevenson vs Sherk - as im being a bit forward here, supposing sherk beats Florian (himself a TUF fighter) Joe Stevenson would fight the winner "Sherk" for the title.

outiside of these fights we have little or no heavy weight hopes in the TUF series.

we could very well have a TUF champ.

Heheh i'm going to beat Ryduce to the punch with this one:

You're forgetting RASHAD friggin' EVANS damnit!

I say put Forrest Vs Rashad in the cage. Whomever comes out the winner, gets a title shot.

Forrest vs Chuck

Sorry, not gonna happen for a long time. Evans will eat Griffin's lunch.

Sanchez vs Hughes

If it's for the title, I think it will be Sanchez vs GSP. ;~)

Stevenson vs Sherk - as im being a bit forward here, supposing sherk beats Florian

That's kind of strange thinking, since Florian is the only TUF fighter to be offered a title shot, I'd say he's closest to the belt.

Do you really think Griffin, Swick or Sanchez will win a belt any time soon? I sure as hell don't.

KenFlo is no slouch, but he can't compete with the likes of Sherk & stevenson. Those two are just a step or two ahead on Kenflo.

Due to the highly Formidable champs holding the belt in their division, Agreed!

i knew someone would say that, my logic was that forrests been on the scene longer

GeorgeXVX · 09-25-2006, 12:13 PM

i would like to see a tuf guy get a shot.... i am kinda sick of the way people bad moutht them just because they were on tuf.... they didnt get on tuf because they wrote letters to dana or won some contest they were guys the ufc was unsure about taking into their ranks and gave a shot... i see nothing wrong with that..... i just dont think any of them can take chuck or titto rich or spider matt or ace.... i think kenflo has a good chance but i am betting against him.... but i would be happy if he won

Agreed.

Rashad via TKO by furious death blow.

Nimmy · 09-26-2006, 12:01 PM

do you think rashad deserves a shot over forrest?

Bomber · 09-26-2006, 12:45 PM

The biggest thing that Griffin's done so far is lose to Ortiz. How does that rate a title shot? He shouldn't get a shot before Rashad unless he proves he's the better fighter (which he's not of course).

Dirty Fighter · 09-26-2006, 02:18 PM

As much as people like to bash the TUF fighters they have done well since the series. Not only were they good enough to draw the UFC's attention, but they get to train under some of the best fighters in the UFC. I like the show and I think it's a great way to deepen the talent pool in the UFC. I'd like to see alot of the aforementioned fighters get title shots over the next year or two, depending on how long they've been fighting and how they do, but i don't see a champ in the TUF alumni yet.

Yeh man.Forrest is coming off a decision to Bonnar while Rashad just demolished a guy who many were claiming was a top 10 LHW.

Rashad deserves it more than Forrest,but I don't know if he is quite ready.

the_dishwasher2001 · 09-26-2006, 02:46 PM

forrest is overrated in the lhw division if he is smart he'll move down to middleweight evans would dominate him and give me so cuddos for being one of rashards biggest fans everyone wants to give the distinction to ryduce i been screaming rashard since he won the tuf title

So have I man.I said him and Diego are the only ones from the show who will go far.

I never thought he was a boring fighter,but I do understand why some people feel that way.

Right after the show I said he would be future champ.And I have stood beside that.

Bomber · 09-26-2006, 03:28 PM

What, do I have to go back and search my posts to show you guys how long I've been an Evans nut?

I wouldn't like to see it too soon either. I'd say three more progressively tough fights and he's ready (Griffin, Ortiz, Babalu).

Agreed....regardless of the title shot, I think this would be a really good fight. Since we're not seeing too much of the TUF3 fighters, I say let the TUF1 and TUF 2 champions go at it for a shot at a title match.

And Kenny Florian will be the next champion over Sherk!!! I didn't think much of Florian off of the TUF show but once he dropped weight he impressed me and earned my respect. I think he'd make a solid champion in his weight class.

Yep I would love to see all three of those fights.He would definitely be ready after that.

Late 2007 he'll be world champ,and I'll laugh at everyone who doubted us Rashad fans from the start.

Nimmy · 09-26-2006, 04:48 PM

regardless of what you all say the only fighters from TUF i like to watch is Swick, Bisping, Groves and Forrest.

im no to concerned with the other fighters.
