Now that Bisping has become a champ, who do you consider the best fighter to ever compete in TUF?

[blah_blah619]

My pick, Rashad Evans. I'd say Forrest Griffin was the most important, Leben was the most entertaining to watch, Kimbo was the most hyped and Evans was the best fighter to ever compete on the show. If Bisping can continue his story book fairy tale and defend the title a couple times while beating AS again or GSP then I believe Bisping might become the most accomplished and best fighter to ever compete in TUF due to his longevity. Thoughts on who you consider the best/most talented contestant ever?

 

[Shaunt Avakian]

I'll try to go by category (Most Well Rounded, Best Standup, Grappler, etc.)

Best Grappler(s): Ryan Hall/Manny Gamburyan (two WAY different styles, no better or BEST)

Most Well Rounded: Either Tony Ferguson or Rashad (Bisping has some good BJJ and Boxing, just that prime Rashad at 205 would beat Bisping at 205)

Best Striker: I know he didn't win TUF but, undoubtedly Uriah Hall (2nd Degree is Kyokushinkai, Amateur Muay Thai Champ and Pro American Kickboxer)

Longevity: That's a hard one: Diego Sanchez is still going strong but his career climaxed a while ago, Forrest was there for a while too and was always there to fight, Nate and Manny are both still in the game (Manny's about to have his first kid soon so congrats to him), but being that Bisping just KTFO'd one of my favorite fighters he kinda takes the cake on that one

Yeah Rashad is up there. Uriah Hall is still a great fighter to me, I just feel like mentally he can't get past hurting another person because he's a really nice dude. If he had a little more killer instinct he could take off.

Just like his viscous KO on TUF. It's cool to be concerned about your opponent, but no need to apologize.

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

Rashad and Griffin beg to differ.

 

[MysticCam]

TJ. Won the belt and defended it twice

 

[runnpray]

The MW GOAT Count Bisping. The queen mother better f..ing knight him so we can have Sir Bisping, knight of the realm.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Rashad and Griffin beg to differ.

Differ with What? He said Rashad.

I remember think Bisping should have won the decision against Rashad when they fought. I can't defend that anymore it was a long time ago

 

[SuperLuigi]

BisKing of course. Long may he reign!

 

[fluffball]

Chiesa and Ferguson have the potential to be the best, just gotta see what happens to them. I could definitely see Ferguson winning the title, and Chiesa always finds a way to surprise me.

Shogun was supposed to come to the UFC and destroy everyone before he got wrecked by Forrest in his first fight. Then Forrest went on to beat Rampage for the belt. The same Rampage that had just destroyed and ended Liddells reign of terror and beat a prime Dan Henderson.

 

[Drake]

I'd say Bisping or Shad.

TJ. Won the belt and defended it twice

One of those was against Joe Soto...

 

[808nEffect]

Nate Diaz did win TUF 5 and he is still a top competitor, has been in title fights.
And he is the guy who derailed the Mcgoat hype train. Just throwing his name in there.
I guess being a champ/former champ would help his case. lol

 

[Bangerous]

TJ

 

[Crazedpyro]

I'd say Bisping or Shad.


One of those was against Joe Soto...

Have some respect, Joe Soto is a fucking boss.

Nate is just as good as Manny.

 

[dildos]

theres just way too many winners to fucking choose from now!

but bisping, shad, tj and forrest are 4 best. and all beat crazy people to get the belt and leading up to the belt!

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Bisping, has beaten Anderson Silva and Prime Rockhold.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Dillashaw, and he still has plenty of time to prove it even more.

 

[Ash Ketchum]

Andy Wang is the GOAT, he's a warrior
