GSP is mainstream. People on here dont really hate him. Couture is mainstream. Only one guy on here hates him. Rashad is TUF and mainstream and people on here like him just fine.

TUF is great people. it's exciting and interesting to get exposed to fighters as people, that's why tuf made the ufc explode. it appealed to the audience and gave the ufc exposure. we need to coin the term "TUF Pro" because those of us who like The Ultimate Fighter are complex enough to appreciate the emotional side of fighters.

On a side note, to the person who asked if being mexican and listening to rock made him white, it does, but only because Mexican (or in this cause hispanic or latino) is an ethnicity and not a race, just like being italian, german, ect. ect. In reality hispanics are caucasians too, seeing how their descendants crossed the mountains in the Caucasus region.

Sorry buddy, I hate to tell you, you're just as white as Kenny G or Newt Gingrich despite your rich mexican heritage.

In order to keep this from becoming too off topic Diego is alright. He just has the misfortune of being in a weight division with a lot of world class fighters.

...it's not a misfortune, because he's right up at/near the top of that division.

Where did you get that Idea from??? I know that many of us like Tuf Fighters. Many people like Joe Daddy, Jardine, Burkman, Melvin etc etc. What are you basing this comment on??

It's not that its cool to like Non mainstream fighters. People like good fighters and alot of Tuf guys ala Leben, Quary, Bonner arn't that good, it is as simple as that. And if you think some of the fighters many like arn't mainstream Then you need to educate yourself a bit more about who is good and who is not. IMO Just because there is not a lot of hype behind a guy doesn't mean he is not a know commodity amongst fans and fighters in the sport.
