I have seen threads in the past discussing who the best TUF champion is, but who's the worst?

Maybe just stick to the American series as I don't have a clue about these Latin ones and all the others :rolleyes:

Jesse Taylor
 
The WMMA winners obviously. Well. That bird who won the 'title' with a 4-2 record is buzzingly bad.
That Suarez chick, despite being a WMMA fighter, at least seems quite good at what she does - even I can recognise that she is quite good, so no gripe with her.

But if we're talking men (and sticking to the regular TUF - Coz Latin America and Brazil had some shockers), there can be only one true winner:

Colton. Fucking. Smith.
 
Colton Smith, Eddie Gordon and James Wilks were all pretty bad imo.
 
Colton comes to mind.
 
I agree with this one. He couldn't even beat mediocre level UFC talent. Eddie Gordon was thrown in with a lot better comp
It's not like Colton Smith's opponents were weak... His first two UFC fights were Robert Whittaker and Michael Chiesa. And then Carlos Diego Ferreira who is decent too.

I mean yeah he's still pretty bad.... but he was thrown into some pretty tough fights.
 
Colton Smith but UFC did him no favors after winning he lost to Whittaker, Chisea, Ferreira

Court McGee is somewhere up there along with Jonathan Brookins

Really, Court McGee? Im not a fan and hate watching him fight unless it's against a lethal striker, but he's def not the worst. He's been in the UFC since 2010 and had a fairly solid career, also has a win over Whittaker which will always look nice on his record. Definitely isn't the best, but nowhere near the worst imo.

You might be on to something with Brookins, although he did beat MJ, had a close fight with Koch who was close to a title shot, and lost to Poirier and Charles Oliveira who are good fighters themselves.

I'll throw another one in though, Ryan Hall. Totally forgot about that guy. Beat Lobov to win TUF, had a terrible fight with a more than over the hill Gray Maynard, and nothing since.

Andrew Sanchez is also shaping up to be one of the worst to win it to imo, at least the guys Colton Smith lost too were all solid fighters. I don't think Ryan Janes is Ufc Level and he smashed Sanchez.
 
As far as fighting skills? I'm not sure, several of them have done pretty poorly. The correct answer, overall, is Bisping though.
 
James Wilks guy pretty much did nothing after winning
