I'm making the same face as Hendricks.
This fight rules. THANK YOU JOE SILVA!

This is going to be FOTN
No doubt about it.
Seriously, Hendricks/Story, Maia/Grove, Bonnar/Igor? This card is awesome and it’s not even 1/4th filled!

I expect some bad TUFer fights to fill out most of the rest of it.
Since Season 5, I haven’t been intrigued by the prospects on the show. Guys on Season 1 were already champions of smaller organizations, and the changing MMA landscape has made the show less and less valuable of a tool for recruiting talent. So expect some fights that should be on regionals to make the televised card.
Those three announced fights are fucking PLENTY for me to be interested though. Story vs. Hendricks is a great fight of super-aggressive up and comers. I hope the winner gets someone like Lytle/Serra winner, Ellenberger, or Nate Diaz. Strong middle of the pack guys who will provide an exciting fight and a great test.

Agreed. And for those reasons you mentioned I don't want TUF to continue.
There are so many outlets to get exposure that TUF has become mostly useless. It’s just there for the ratings.
If Bonnar/Pokrajac makes the main card then that’s fine with me. It means we’ll only get 1-2 “regional show” type of fights on the televised card unless they take a break from commercial breaks to air some prelims.

Also, the TUF Championship fights have become a shell of their former selves
Bonnar/Griffin, Stevenson/Cummo, Evans/Imes, Herman/Grove, and Diaz/Manny (before that unfortunate ending) were great fights compared to stuff like Winner/Pearson, McGee/Jensen, and especially Escudero/Nover.
It went from being a dramatic moment where fighters give it their all to just another fight.

yeah that's a great fight!
Can’t wait to see it.

I’m serious.

Great fight!
Nice to see these guys getting some maincard love.

I can’t describe how happy this fight makes me. Two legit welterweight prospects fighting on a Spike TV main card? I’m tickled, to say the least.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
Agreed
Bonnar/Igor = Sloppy but entertaining slugfest from Bonnar.
Maia/Grove = Good ground battle as long as Maia avoids standing up.
Hendricks/Story = Wrestler vs. Wrestler who can both strike very well.

yes finally joe
Let the wrestlers fight eachother instead of destroying prospects.
Not taking anything away from story, but hendricks deserves a higher profile guy by now.

-100 to Joe Silva
For matching up two great prospects, both of these guys could of fought lower opposition for another 3 fights and nobody would of mind!
There’s always one.

Nobody gives a shit about padded out records here. We want to see talent face talent.

Rick will destroy him. In my opinion.

seriously
Anyone that tries to say that the UFC protects its up and comers by giving them cake fights, this is the exact opposite. 2 absolute killers, both on a tear, and one will have to lose…
My guess is gonna be Hendricks because I think he has more power in his hands, and is more elite of a wrestler, although I don’t think his wrestling will make the difference in this fight.

And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
