News Torrez Finney is BACK on Contender Series for the 3rd time!

[Hellowhosthat]

Are these fighters you expect to be ranked in the top 15 in a few years?

Penaz and Augen I think will be. Others I'm not so sure, but you only get 3 or so new faces a year in the rankings per division so that's roughly what you'd expect to be out there.

"You'd get absolutely decimated in the UFC"

- Dana White

This is what I was hoping would happen. Hopefully he wrecks his opponent and forces Dana to sign him.

Imagine what Dana's gonna say to him next week. "Get more fights ya goof" or "welcome to the UFC kid"

I think Dana may be pissed at the matchmakers coming up to air that episode in Oct lol. I think Dana mentioned he has no idea who gets on the show, but to show him what they've got when they fight infront of him. So I doubt he follows and hears about who gets on there before the event starts.

Yeah I really don't think Dana has any idea this is happening.

I’ll keep an eye out for them, thanks for sharing.

Dana “I told you to go get some more experience before you came back to contenders series”

Dana the next week. “Ok fuck it , come on back next month”

lol, to be fair after Dana said that he found out that Finney was going to be on the last season of the TUF, so he didn't take a fight since he thought he was going to be on TUF but then didn't make the cut at the last second. So it was kind of the UFC's fault he wasn't getting more experience, he wasted some time there when he could have been fighting and getting more experience. Regardless, he isn't that good.

Prolly made a deal fi cross over to slaps be a duel sport athlete I culd be wrong tho have been b4 regardless tho good fi him fi real

The reaction could be legendary.

Two weeks ago, Dana: "I'm surprised you was brought back after just having ONE fight on the regional scene, now go out and get 3 or 4 more fights, then we can bring you back"

In October, Dana (seeing Finney on the sheet of paper to fight that night): "Okay, Mick and Sean, which one of you idiots brought Finney back, making me look like an absolute tool for slandering the guy on live TV?"

That's Penaz's last fight, he's come on so far since he fucked up on contenders a few years ago.

Finally some good news!

What's the point?
> Why do some fighters (and horrible ones like that) get so many opportunities, so many chances? With so many fighters in the world?

Can someone explain?

Contender should call the repeater...

 

[BjPenn2017]

That honestly sucks for Finney I think he is a good prospect who has room to develop and should be in the UFC, he’s also jacked as fuck and has a marketable look.
When you look at the lower end of MW it is not good fighters either, I’m pretty sure he could beat fighters like Dumas/Brundage no problem while developing his skills.

Well I disagree that Torrez is a horrible fighter, but I think we can all agree he isn't Dana's cup of tea.

Dana just doesn't like this style, end of discussion, so why in the hell is he being put in front of Dana for a THIRD FUCKING TIME?

He's 2-0 on Dana's own show, we know he's good enough for the UFC, there's absolutely no question about that.

 

[Koala]

Striker vs grappler fight
FYI Finney was the substitute for TUF and didn't take fights because of that

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Poor fucker is gonna be a gatekeeper on the contender series until Dana decides he’s good enough

 

[Kenny Powerth]

I read that as "Torrez Finally BACK"

lol

Why does getting a third chance on the contender suck for Finney?

There's definitely a place within the UFC for fighters of his caliber. It's to make fighters they want to win look good. Like a number of other fighters on the roster these days.
