Dana's not worried about that at all. Just needs bodies to fill the cards and a "reason" to promote them.
There's been some decent prospects in Yussuf, Geoff Neal and Yanez in their divisions probably was Bryce Mitchell on the series aswell?
I guess only time will tell, a lot of TUF guys exceeded after the series as the rosters were so small. Would someone like Joe Stevenson earn title shots in this day and age in the current LW title picture? Probably but just a sign of the times.
The MMA world is a giant pyramid in which very few will ever reach the top. Of course the vast majority of fighters on DWCS will never amount to anything. That's a statistical certainty. But there will always be diamonds in the rough.Seems to me like most of these contender series “prospects” are stand and bang bar room brawlers, not young phenoms, blue chip prospects, or future world champions. What do you think?

Contender series has produced some good talents. Most likely will produce a champion one day. However, Dana clearly favors spectacle over skill so a sizable portion of the fighters that come off the show will be lower level brawlers. Dana is much more likely to sign the guy that had a bloody, sloppy war than the guy that put on a surgical “boring” performance.
The LHW rankings right now have 4 guys from DWCS: (Hill, Crute, Spann, Walker.)Pleasure man is coming to change the LHW divisions bum lives this year.
Pleasure man bless.
