Why are not talking about the IRON TURTLE?

He is exciting but he is more of a prelim guy. Not that it is a bad thing. Not everyone is going to be able to contend for a title but they are solid fighters.
 
Don't forget that awkward unusual seductive dance.
 
He was the star of that whole card for me. Great performance
Same he was the only fighter that I really cared to watch on that card.

Almost skipped the main event too but glad I didn't, seeing Holmes finally pay for her wall and stall strategy was dope.
 
Someone on here should make a dancing turtle emoji for the forum
 
Folks arguing his level of competition hasn't been impressive... fair enough, but where I disagree, is that winning fights for long streaks against anyone in the UFC is really freaking hard. His consistency is very impressive to me, as well as his will and grit. He's a tough out for anyone. I don't see him becoming champ, but he definitely deserves more respect in my opinion. And furthermore, if you all feel he doesn't deserve much praise due to his strength in opposition, that's probably more reason TO give him a ranked opponent.

His totally done enough for a ranked opponent. His won more than most do to get a ranked shot.
 
You mean other than those of us that actually watched it sir?
Was generalizing. Not many people watched it. The PBP thread was at an all time low as far as activity.

Point still stands: No one talks about ninja turtles last performance because it was largely missed.

People here still don't realize that unranked guys in the UFC are actually really good and beating consistent, good competition is much harder than fighting on the regional scene. Most guys in the UFC were the cream of the crop on the regionals whether they settle into gatekeeper, contender or elite after the fact. Now they're all fighting one another.
