Which fighters did you have high hopes for once upon a time?

Edson Barboza.
Joe Duffy.
Wonderboy.
Henry Cejudo.
Hector Lombard.

Duffy is a great shout!

I still think Cejudo would be champ if MM didn't exist.

 

[sampuncher]

Phil Davis, I thought he could be champion.

TJ Grant

Way back in the day, I thought Ralph Gracie would be a killer.

I think TJ would have beat Benson, I guess it's one of those what if situations, sad though.

After pondering a bit more, there's been a few more I thought had potential to.


- Eddie Wineland
- Dennis Bermudez
- I thought Holm would be champ for a long while
- Diego Brandao
- Stefan Struve
- Ian McCall
- Nate Quarry

Duffy is a great shout!

I still think Cejudo would be champ if MM didn't exist.

Agreed. Bad news for Cejudo is that MM still got his number.

hyun-gyu lim. not for his fight-skills but the JBG-skills.

Not necessarily championship material, but I thought Jonathan Brookins had a bright future at featherweight. Some of his throws during his time on TUF were things of absolute beauty.
