TUF Champions

[King909]

The last TUF winner to win a UFC title was Rashad right?

I had high hopes for Gastelum and Dodson.

Who else has a shot to fight for a ufc title that has won a TUF title?

Chiesa could be in contention with a dramatic win IMO.

I think Gastelum still has a shot to win a title.
Chiesa is a good call but that LW division is deep.
Nate Diaz still near the top of the LW division (this is probably my bias I love the Diaz bros). Juliana Pena is a close to a title shot.
Chris Holdsworth is still undefeated but has been held back by concussions.
Tony Ferguson is on a streak too. Man a lot of LW winners still relevant.
Whittaker is on a good streak too.
Bisping is one win away from a title shot
Bader is very close to a title shot too.
Corey Anderson looks like a good prospect still at LHW.
Leonardo Santos just knocked out Kevin Lee.
Warrley Alves still undefeated too.

Alot of TUF winners still relevant imma kinda surprised looks at it.

Its now more about up and comers that have awhile to go. But some damn great fighters coming out of tuf and it fun to watch them fight all those times in the house.
The season Chiesa won has some good active fighters. AL iaQuinta , Sam sicilia, dober, Cruickshank

umm, no.

tuf 4: matt serra won the ww title
tuf 14: tj dillashaw won the bw title
tuf 20: esparza won the sw title

evilmanny has set out many of the current top contenders from tuf, but he's left out some other guys as well like yair rodriguez.

Dillashaw was not a TUF winner. Esparza didn't win a title, she was given initial belt upon winning the season.

erm.... what?

I thought Gastelum would do a lot better too, a bit disappointed. Still a fun guy to watch though.

a lot better? he's ranked near the top of his weight class.

There is a lot more to consider than rankings, man. Is he Top 10 currently? Yes. But I'm talking in terms of performance, his weight issues, and overall momentum. I like the guy, I just thought he would smash harder is all.
