judging by all the interactions I've seen with Dana and Roy Nelson, Roy pretty much has to win TUF, and never lose a fight in the UFC or he will get cut the first time he loses because of the extreme dislike from Dana. I haven't seen Dana get that fired up about anyone since the Tito fights :lol:

Its honestly a win-win situation for Roy "Moon Belly" Nelson, regardless of the outcome. The fact of the matter is he defeated Kimbo Slice in one of the highest rated MMA events in the sport's history. UFC or not, Nelson has just taken the next step in his MMA career, purses will be larger, media attention will be greater, his name/image will be in demand. Roy hasn't needed the UFC up to this point to string together a rather successful career and even if he never steps foot into an octagon during a live event, the man still will have accomplished something that few fighters have been successful in doing, he will have used the UFC like a cheap w----.

I think Justin Wren will. I know it's hard to gather anything from a victory over a guy like Wes Sims, but he walked thru him like he should have. He's also a young guy who seems to have his head on straight. I would be surprised if he's not in the finals.
I had heard some good things about Schoonover but I'm not sold on him.

I agree, I had heard lots of good things about him long before he came onto the Ultimate Fighter. A lot of people expected him to make it to the UFC eventually.

I think Wren will drop to 205. There is a few good guys on Tuf 10 that could have a future with the UFC, I think some of you will be surprised by what happens with these guys over the next few years.

I also think Brenan Schuab will be around for a while. He is very athletic, decently well rounded, and has knock out power. Check out some of his pre TUF fights. I like this guy
