Nate and tony are the most iconic TUF winners

[The Schmoop]

Honestly, Bisping is probably the most iconic TUF winner.

Michael Bisping is (deservedly) in the Hall of Fame.

I expect Usman to be in for a long reign.

 

[FrenchHeavyWeight]

Usman ?! Beside his beef with Hayder

Glenn rip was more the face the star of this season

 

[kalabula]

Nate has always been a gatekeeper ffs, he's not on the same level as Tony's

Gastelum, Whittaker are a lot better than him

Iconic doesn’t refer to skill set.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

One fucking eye!!!

 

[khabib time]

Usman, Forrest, Florian, Diego?

Florian got the shit beat out of him by Diego. You count that as a win?

 

[Sweater of AV]

Nate also gave us Karo losing his shit.

War Nate. A true icon of the sport and a legendary career.

 

[khabib time]

P4P Josh Rafferty is best

Jason Thatcher GOAT and the dude who got his jaw broken by Matt Riddle

 

[DirtyBadger]

 

[Ares Black]

Diego Sanchez is The Ultimate Fighter.

 

[El Fernas]

Buddeh!!

 

[saminex]

Dillishaw was a pretty big deal before he popped

Dillashaw is not a tuf winner. Lost to Dodson.

iconic
Similar to "classic," iconic is generally restricted to more recent, highly original, influential, or unique, works of art, artists, or performers. As such they are now well-established and widely celebrated in popular culture.

 

[COBRA03]

Don't forget Forrest Griffin or Michael Bisping. Every bit as iconic as Diaz and Fergy, probably more so if you have been watching since the early days.

 

[tonysmasseuse]

For sure.
21 year old Nate Diaz is probably the coolest 21 year old that ever walked the planet.
Tony Ferguson was - and is - just in a league of his own. His style, personality, intensity is unmatched, there is literally no one like him, and his originality was evident already then.
As was Diego Sanchez's - thee tuf OG, and still crazy after all these years.

Very nice to revisit.

 

[Rayban]

For sure.
21 year old Nate Diaz is probably the coolest 21 year old that ever walked the planet.

 

[tonysmasseuse]

Oh totally

 

[RicardinhoPT]

Serra, Rashad, Bisping and Griffin come to mind

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

Usman, Forrest, Florian, Diego?

There is nothing iconic about Usman... great fighter for sure. But the only time anyone here wanted to hear him was when he did that marriage counselor on skit for chael's podcast

 

[redapplecigz]

As soon as you see Nate on TUF you knew dude was legit. Strong skills and didnt take no BS off nobody. When Karo tried to come in and punk him Nate was down to ride. When the other team wrote some BS about Nates team, Nate pulled up.
