Fighter of Interest looks at competitors on an upcoming card who have not received their due. I believe the lack of fanfare is due to finishing 1/11 UFC wins. However, when you go back and watch, he is not at all a boring fighter.

Show Brad some love and make sure to watch on Saturday.

brad's one of my personal favorites, ever since i saw him on tuf. not the most talented, but like most hawaiians, he loves to fight, is tough, and rarely talks smack.

I believe Brad Tavares got brought up in the commentary of Anderson Silva vs. Stephen Bonnar.

Greatest takedown defence in Middleweight history according to Mike Goldberg, just let him look at his notes.

Good mid tier fighter.. Respeck

It is my belief that after Saturday, he will no longer be considered mid-tier. Dude just turned 30 this year, has been in the UFC 8 years. Development is different for every fighter, dude is hitting his prime.

Victory bump. Who's mid-tier now?
