Carrington Banks?

[LarryFisherman]

Any hype on him at all? Undeafeated, won his fight on that weird att vs blackzillian TUF? Just curious only knock i can see is hes to small for 155? Thoughts?

Apparently he is fighting for Bellator Friday

 

[KeeSmyth]

Yeah he signed with Bellator now, lots of good fighters weren't picked up from that season of TUF

 

[Darwinambrosius]

Such an odd season. Lots of good talent that pretty much went unused afterwards. Maybe 170 was a bad division to choose there.

UFC kept the best guys that season, gave them a shot.

Usman, Graves, think Carl and Coy got shots, Hayder.

Carl didn't get a shot, but Vicente Luque did. I honestly hope Luque does well with his style, he's definitely very fan friendly

I would've been surprised if Carl got a shot, dude looked like shit on tuf. Doesn't seem like he'll get a contract offer from the UFC anytime soon either, last I saw of him he got finished by Belal.

 

[CC27]

Could have sworn Carl got a shot but guess not.

Anyway Usman and Graves are the two best from the season.

I got the impression with Banks that, at 3-0, they knew he was good but didn't wanna risk him given that both teams were relying a lot on grizzled, over-the-hill veterans for the most part. I reckon they didn't wanna damage his confidence being so green, but he looked solid. He'll be a decent Bellator fighter, as he'll face 1-1 guys and stuff for 2-3 fights to bump his record and keep his confidence up.
