Rough Night for TUF guys
- Thread starter Nastycrow

I'm a little confused.. Wasn't George Stom...(sp?) on TUF? wasn't Matt Riddle on TUF?...
As much as you can say Forrest was on TUF, i personally believe he fully shook that off by beating Rampage to become champ. in my humble opinion, if you at all become a champ, you should no longer be considered just a TUF fighter, you should just be considered a fighter.
Grove and Amir... well... a sign of things to come.

yeah but imo Forrest didnt deserve the title shot to begin with (who did he beat? a horrible Shogun coming of TWO knee surgeries and few cans) and his win vs Rampage was at least controversial (and possibly a work).
I bet Forrest will lose his next fight too, unless he's fed another TUF can.

No way it was a work lol, seems like Griffin/Silva was a work. Most retarded gameplan ever and he had that really dramatic knockout at the end off a little jab where he fell back in a crucifix.

Almeida is tough. During the post fight press conference he said it was tight and he was waiting for his elbow to pop so he could escape.

Except at the time of the fight, Shogun was considered widely as the number 1 LHW in the world, and Forrest finished him after a great performance. It's easy to look back now and make excuses but at the time of the fight it was pretty obvious. Shogun was #1 and Forrest was supposed to be his stepping stone into the UFC against a big name and draw.
