When did Chad say that? I missed it.

That Tuf 14 season was stacked as fuck, Tj, Dodson, Bermudez, Brandao has potential too if he could improve his cardio and stop being a nutcase.

 

[loisestrad]

And he won it by defeating the consencus pound for pound #1 in the world.

It's pretty safe to say that TUF has got revived.

TUF produces talent. Not always championship level talent but good fighters. Chiesa, Ferguson, and Holdsworth all won last night too.

good call. people shit on any TUF after 5, but some of these seasons have had a lot of talent. of course, you can only really say that in retrospect, but I always regarded that cast very highly. they also had siler, brimage, caraway, akra, etc. not all game-changers but UFC-level, for sure.

Congrats to TJ for his win last night, he hurt Renan with that right in rd 1 and never looked back, what a awesome fight, I still can't believe he did what Faber couldn't, goes to show, ANYTHING can happen in a fight

 

[Enigma87]

I believe it was when TJ was walking back toward the locker rooms after beating the piss out of Barao

 

[BobsyaUncle]

True that hadn't occurred to me.

 

[DrDangles]

To be fair, TUF 14 was always going to be stacked because it featured basically some of the best 125'ers, 135ers and 145ers in the world who hadnt been in the WEC. So its no surprise guys like Dodson, Dillashaw, Brandao, Bermudez, Brimage, Guadinot and Caraway have done well.

That being said, TUF 12 produced Michael Johnson and Alex Caceras, TUF 13 produced Ferguson and Nijem, TUF 15 (another stacked TUF) produced Chiesa, Al, Jury, Pichel, Cruickshank, James Vick (who is seriously flying under radar but subbed Nijem), TUF 17 has now Kelvin, Uriah, Barnett

well he did get a chance coming off a loss then one win then a title shot, if alot more people got this easy of a chance, there might be more winners
