What TUF contestant will win a title first??

I saw this poll on www.maxfighting.com and i thought it was pretty sweet. Out of the TUF 1, 2, 3 cast, who do you think will win a title first.

The mighty Diego.

From this list, considering the divisions they're currently in, I think Joe Stevenson has the best shot at becoming champ before the others. Especially since the LW belt is up for grabs and he could be in a title fight in no time.

yeah odds on favorite has the be Joe Stevenson. thats not saying he's the best on the list but he just doesnt have to be as good as some of the other guys. really though the guys i think have the best oppurtunity to win the title soon are not even on the list and thats the Heavy's. the division is so small it would only take a couple of wins put together for them to warrent a title shot and im not Tim bashing but im not a huge fan of him and think a well excecuted gameplan can dethrown him very quickly.

Nobody listed can beat Franklin, Liddell, Hughes, or Big Tim. I'm not even sure why Kochecks on there.
So sadly I'll say that Florian has a CHANCE to beat the Muscle Shark for the LW belt... but I'll surely be rooting for Sherk there.

I would put Bisping near the top of the LHW once he actually gets a fight. Would not mind seeing a Griffin/Bisping fight.

sitnspin · 08-22-2006, 03:55 PM

I think Florian's the clear underdog against Sherk, so I'll definitely be rooting for the upset. And isn't it weird how there's been no talk at all of Bisping fighting anyone? I'm surprised Dana hasn't made Bisping vs Hamill happen yet.

It's hard to say exactly who but it's either going to be a LW or a WW. I can't see any of TUF MW's beating Rich Franklin nor can I see any of the TUF LHW's beating Chuck Lidell. For LW's I would say it's either going to be Joe Stevenson or Kenny Florian since they are both pretty dominating forces in the LW division. For WW's I will definatley say Diego Sanchez has the best chance to become champ before any of the others.

Well, I think that there is at least one fighter who can beat each champion. The LWs are wide open, i see it being either Florian, Guillard, or Stevenson. For the wws, I think Diego could pull it out, or even Koshchek, hes got great hands now, could proly outwrestle Hughes, the only real advantages for Hughes is submissions and strength. But I dont no, Hughes is phenomenal so who knows. The MWs only have one in my opinion, and that would be Mike Swick. The LHWs I think only have one right now, maybe a cuple. Forest could be a good match for Chuck cuz of how tough Forest is, Matt could do well if he could take Chuck down to. The HWs have no one i think, possibly Christionson.

When I asked this, you can name other fighters besides the ones on the list. You can name anyone from TUF.

I think the LW's are wide open as well w/ Stevenson having the best chance. WW's Diego is the only one w/ even a chance and to say Koscheck would out wrestle Hughes is absolutely ridiculous Hughes would beat them all but if i had to pick one w/ the best chance it's Diego. MW's none of them can beat Hughes or Silva for that matter but Swick has the best shot there. LHW's is an interesting one between Griffin and Bisping both have a shot but from what i've seen i'm going w/ Bisping on this one but it's up in the air. HW's who knows cuz there is none but if i can go off of TUF fighters then i'm going w/ a well conditioned Frank Mir

but that's a totally different subject.

i think its a toss up between Diego and Forrest, however like so many others have said, its hard to imagine any of the current champs being dethroned. Forrest probably has a better chance of beating Chuck Liddell than Diego has of beating Matt Hughes.

Ninjabot · 08-23-2006, 01:58 PM

I think Joe has the least standing in his way in LW. So ill go with him.
