seeing as nate diaz just fought for the belt last month, no.
Nate was from season 5 though, which TS acknowledged. Dodson is the first guy from any of the more recent ones.

Another TUF history in the making: The first fighter from TUF to fight for the title, that is 3" from being a legal midget
So what is he now? An illegal midget?
3rd black fighter vs black fighter for championship. 1st at FlyWeight and 1st not in the LHW
..could be wrong
What season were Maynard, Diaz, Lauzon etc on? It's really dropped off since then. But the similarity is that was the season where they were bringing back 155. Anytime there is a new weight class we will see a season of TUFFers that contend.

People actually keep tracks about that kind of stats?
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.
get the fuck out troll.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?
In his defense, he's still coming off a brutal KO win over someone who people thought to be the #1 Flyweight in the world for awhile.
dodson beats formiga and you have retards who say nonsense like this. unreal.they need names people know to help this new division hence why he has a title shot so early
opposed to ian mccall who was granted a #1 contender fight for... BEATING FORMIGA. jesus fuckign christ.Oh I don't doubt he has the skills, just saying had the division been around longer and been more established it's a lot more likely a guy just coming off of TUF would have had a longer climb up the ladder before getting high profile fights that put you into contention.
