GSP is one of them.

Lets not forget that Gray Maynard also beat Frankie Edgar. The same Frankie Edgar who beat Hermes Franca, Spencer Fisher, and Tyson Griffin. I bet you intentionally left out that fight huh. Also he didnt draw with Rob Emerson... It was ruled no contest. Big difference. TUF has only been over for 18 months. TUF 6 only a year. Everyone know the UFC brings TUF fighters along slow but Diaz has already headlined an ultimate fight night so he will start getting the cream of the crop real soon. THEN we will know what he is made of. Are you serious?

Im a 2nd degree blackbelt in TKD, a brown belt in BJJ, and training in Muy Thai and i see alot in Phillipe, Effraine, and VInny....and mattm615 are you in any kind of martial arts? because if your not then your a big talker for someone who has never had a fight in his life, and i dont mean a pansy street fight, i mean a fight where your actually fighting a trained guy who is advanced in the sport of mma Phillipe Nover is going to be big in the UFC, and so is Vinny but he needs to improve his standup alittle bit more.

The guy who got the most publicity this season proved to be a horrible fighter. I do think that Philipe guy has some potential. I hope he wins the light weight contract.
