    He gassed before he got taken down. Bendo size is going to be a problem unless he can run around the whole time and make the other fighter gas.

      He says he's using the next 4-5 months to bulk up and he wants to fight in Korea in Nov. It will be interesting to see what he looks like then.

        I'm trying not to hate on it. Obviously Ben knows more about himself, his body, his skills, all that, than I do.

        As a fan, I want him at 155. I think he can still be champ. I have a hard time seeing him go up against guys like Rory and Hendricks.

        Who knows what will happen though, maybe it works out great for him.

              It's only 2,000 more right? Good news, but they have to make up all the sponsor money back.

                Has anyone been watching TUF?

                I honestly haven't seen a single episode. The Team vs Team change up just didn't sound appealing to me.

                For anyone watching it, is it worth getting into?

                  I've watched all of the episodes. It's a refreshing change to the normal TUF format. Each fight is at one of the teams gym. A lot more people outside of the cage during the fights makes a better experience. The winning fighter will earn home gym control for his team for the next bout. Opponents will not be revealed until weigh-ins.

                  I would recommend checking it out.

                      The fights haven't been great, but also not terrible. I've found myself fast forwarding through until the fight starts.

                        So based on the latest from Dana/UFC, what are your thoughts on Gus possibly being the next title challenger for DC?

                        As far as the Rockhold comment, I like it and I think that's the right fight and best fight to make at the moment.

                        The Gus comment, I mean, I dunno. I know it's just Dana basically speculating and nothing's certain, but, if they give him the next title shot I'm not sure how I feel. It's not as bad as Sonnen getting the shot at 205, but still, I mean the guy just got viciously separated from his consciousness in his last fight.

                        Although, looking at the 205 rankings, I guess there's really no one else other than Bader and Gus is by far the bigger draw.

                          I would say that Gus doesn't deserve it, but like you said, the LHW top 10 isn't exactly filled to the brim with legit title contenders. Plus, I'd rather see him fight for the strap over Bader any day of the week.

                            Gus is exciting and Bader is not. DC/Gus is more interesting fight for Jones.

                            Bader does nothing for DC or Jones fight. He deserves the fight though. I guess he needs to get a loss first to get the next shot.

                              Gus gets the shot thanks to the current landscape. Bader won't draw any money and I don't see him being able to beat DC. Gus is interesting because you never know how guys will respond after taking a massive beating.

                              I would've been OK with Rashad getting a shot, even coming off an injury, but sounds like he is fighting Bader.

                              Rockhold-Weidman is the right call there. Jacare is deserving, too, but I think Rockhold is the bigger draw of the two.

                                Yeah I think Rockhold/Weidman is a huge fight and great matchup.

                                You guys are all right. DC/Gus is an exciting matchup and definitely a bigger seller than DC/Bader.
