yep but the HW devision is one of the weakest and needs more tallent, the last HW season produced Matt Mitrione, Big Country etc so it was a success imo.

DrPhil

We disagree again!

The 146 card showed that there is plenty of HW depth around. The likes of Miocic for example will only get better.

Flyweight has about 10 fighters at the minute!

JDS returning as a TUF coach?  For the love of god... just stop.  

Are these people fking idiots?  

If I was commissioning that bullsh*t I'd pick Meathead Matt vs Roy Nelson.  Total insanity but with decent fighting credentials.

mooperman

Twas me!!

and perhaps not 100% right about if he was only a boxer Mir wouldve taken him down,  boxer probably wouldve not given his arm up in the first place..

Anyway, i know you all disagree with me on this one so no point going over old ground

BigStu1972

I agree. The coaches need to be fighters who are as mad as hell.
Meathead against Nelson? I'd tune in for that

djcla

i did say one of the weakest and im bored of these little guys on TUF.  Anyway all UFC 146 showed was some good fights at HW and the majority of the fighters on the card will not be challenging for the title anytime soon.  Seriously after Cain who is there to take out JDS in the current roster?   I have high hopes for Stefan Struve but i dont think he is there yet.

mooperman

i know Struve is tall but is it me or does he seem a little on the "small" side for a heavyweight?

BigStu1972

The same could be said about some of the other divisions as well.
Who is likely to beat GSP?
Apart from Sonnen, who can beat Silva? and Jon Jones looks unbeatable at LHW
The LW division looks the most interesting at the moment

DrPhil

He's a but lanky, but he is still young. He seemed a little bulkier in his last fight though.

BigStu1972

He looks slim because he is soo tall.
I don't see Struve challenging just yet, I think he is too easy to hit
