TUF 8: Meet the Lightweights

One of who Dana said could be "the next Anderson Silva".

"I was going off when I saw this guy," White said. "He’s 24 and he’s destroying people. It’s sick how bad ass he is. I’m getting goose bumps talking to you about him."

Duarte is not the fighter Dana was refering to in his comparison to Anderson Silva, email me Nick, Luke has my email address.

Duarte is OUT of the UFC

Duarte is out of the UFC, signed with CFC recently.

Thanks Graffight. Changed the post.

So, if the next AS is 24yo, it would be Nover or Nelson, if Duarte is out of the UFC.

or maybe not, lol.

Duarte is the name that has spread all over the net since Dana said that. If he is out of the UFC, then he must not have made it into the house.
