The Best Fighter to come off the Ultimate Fighter?

[TCE]

For me it's Rashad Evans. Won TUF 2 at HW, having to fight 4 times, to become the TUF winner (while other fighters would have only had to fight twice). He was an underdog in every fight.

He went on to become the LHW champion, defeating TUF 1 winner Forrest Griffin.

I was debating about whether to put Matt Serra on the poll, but I decided to anyway. He won the belt from GSP because of the show, so he definitely deserves to be there, even though he fought for the UFC for a while before TUF.

Voted Bisping because someone has to. Would do it again if I could.

 

[ChickenNugget]

I'm going with Evans.
He's done the most in the Octagon.

 

[ortizgnp]

TJ is up there, for sure - skill wise.

 

[Chris John]

I'm going with Evans.
He's done the most in the Octagon.

I've got Rashad too, there's a couple of guys on that list that will likely overtake him but as it stands now, Rashad for me.

His last fight was a little sad to watch, hope he comes back stronger.

Yep, no doubt.
As @ortizgnp was saying, TJ could very well overtake him, if he stays on top for a while longer, let alone if he snatches the belt again.
Funny how he is in the race, while Dodson isn't. The guy who knocked him out...
Goes to show you how good MM is and how much better TJ has become.

Diego. Kid was a beast when he was young. If he had some crazy fight like bonner n Forrest he would be more popular. To think if he got the promotion boast like that.

Voted TJ. If it wasn''t for The Dom, he would rule that division for a long time. Something that couldn't have been said for any of the other TUF champs during their respective peaks.

 

[SirKratos]

Rashad or TJ.

voted for TJ

Well it has to be one of the champions so I'll go with Forrest because his wins over Shogun and Rampage were the most impressive.

That said, if you run the same poll in a couple of years (as much as I don't like the guy) I suspect Tony Ferguson might run away with it..

Bisping

Always been there near the top of a shark tank of a division and beaten by frauds on PEDs (not including Luke)

More like near the bottom of the top 10 for the most part lol

and it wasnt a shark tank before the Strikeforce merger/influx of new talent/Vitor,Lyoto dropping down

the answer here is Dillashaw. I understand the argument for Hashad for his body of work but he was never as good a fighter as TJ is right now or even close.

 

[Buff]

Rashad for me as well... He fell off a bit but there wasn't anyone that could hang with him for a good while.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Rashad
Forrest
TJ
Bisping
Nate

But I'm voting Nate cause I like him the most.

[nick1990]

TUF 1 had a crazy amount of talent in it when looking back, putting on that show might be the smartest thing the UFC has done in terms of marketing.

 

[fight4ippon]

Brendan Schaub or Andy Wang

Gotta roll with Forrest. He came in as the underdog and beat Rampage and Shogun at the peak of their hype. Won't ever forget that. Even though I hated that he beat my favourite fighters I could never bring myself to hate the guy. Griffin is just way too likeable.
