Is John Dodson making TUF history?

The UFC hasn't had a fighter win TUF and go on to make it to a title shot since like season 5? Its been a long time since TUF has produced a legitimate fighter. Is he the 1st in years?

 

probably but I think the fact that the UFC just recently opened up to his weight class makes it a little less impressive, fewer established fighters at that weight to go through to get there.

 

Yeah that's true. I forgot he's down to 125 now

 

making history would be if he was the first....

 

the majority of his division is in the top 10 lol they started 10 months ago with 11 fighters and now have grown to a whopping 15


shouldn't be too hard to climb the ladder at Flyweight

 

3rd black fighter vs black fighter for championship. 1st at FlyWeight and 1st not in the LHW

..could be wrong

 

Rampage/jones, jones/evans. Who am I missing?

 

Well... those two plus Dodson vs. MM makes 3 lol.

 

None, only 2 so far so this will be number three

Edit: damn kid fury you're fast.
Edit2: that's what she said.

 

TUF winner money is 6 figures...

 

seeing as nate diaz just fought for the belt last month, no.

 

That whole season of TUF is doing pretty well.

 

are you replying to someone or are you just stating random facts?

 

I thought Dodson had a really hard time with Tim Elliot. It was really competitive. I wonder whos gonna have the grappling advantage in this one. Both striking looks crisp. I smell a split decision coming

I was just thinking that. Wow. Hasn't been any black on black crime for that gold strap in a while.

 

Bedford has been a beast as of late.

 

I don't know why but I read the title as 'Is John Dodson making TUF Money'. Strange as FUCK.

 

Its not like Dodson was some no-name before tuf though; hard to say tuf "produced him." He produced himself.

 

nah mang its all good, you still got the hangover from the big mans win!
war Cain

 

they need names people know to help this new division hence why he has a title shot so early

 

Nah, he's always been a top flyweight. Plus, he just beat the number three guy. It's a deserved title shot.
