I was just thinking back about what was the feel good story of 2013, and I think it might be a 3-way tie between these 3 guys.
Especially when you consider that 2 of them had actually announced their retirement, and the other was so inactive that he took to twitter and the UG to ask FANS if they know of any good promoters.
But here we are a year later, and Gonzaga has posted a dominant win in his home country, and is now looking at a main card spot.
Varner got in THREE epic wars, and took out two of the guys that were probably the two hottest prospects at the beginning of the year, and had a potential FOTY performance against Lauzon.
And finally, Duffee came back and picked up right where he left off by blasting another HW in the first round, and reclaiming his spot as the HW prospect with maybe the most potential in the division.
Anyways, I never really like to hear about guys getting cut who are clearly UFC talent, as was the case with these 3 guys, and I'm loving how they all had awesome comebacks in 2012.
Will 2013 feature any comeback stories like these 3 guys?
