Good Strikers like Griffin and Bonnar?
Hell I think Rashad Evans was a Wrestler but all we saw of him from the show was his striking.. its half/half I think. |

"Good Strikers like Griffin and Bonnar?"
My post you commented on is pretty old but from what I remember I was talking about guys who were considered strictly strikers. Griffin and Bonnar are not strictly strikers, they're well rounded fighters. The guys like Hamill in wrestling, etc. Where they come in and they're mainly one thing still.

If Hamill makes it to the finals I think he'll face Jesse Forbes in the next round. Jesse is a fairly inexperienced fighter just like Matt but his strength is wrestling which Matt would totally own him in.
Bisping vs. Hamill is the fight TUF3 has building towards all season and would definitely be the best fight ratings wise UFC could put on the Finale show.

The way I see it is, Ed is not the best on the show.. he just has people believing the hype that he is.. he'll lose.. to Kendall or Kalib.
Rory isnt that good, guy is sloppy and slow I think he'll lose as well
Kendall vs Kalib.. fair match. I think Kalib wins it but I wouldnt mind seeing Kendall win it either that guys real good as well, either way I see these 2 suceeding in the UFC.
As for LHW, Bisping by far.. he will face either Matt if he recovers or Jesse if he doesnt, I dont see Josh going to the finale either way Bisping wins the LHW I think hes a lock now with Matts injuries, Jesse being inexperienced, and Jesse being unimpressive all together.

Actually your wrong because bonnar and griffin had good stand up reps and their doinggreat. You can count leben too. two out of the three may not have won the show but they did get contracts.
Bisping with matt as a backup.
Kalib or kendall |
