Best post-TUF career for someone who didn't it?

Underground

Who has had the best post-TUF career, for someone who didn't actually win tough? Neil Magny has got to be up there - right?

He got stopped in the semi-finals against Mike Ricci. He then went 1-2 in his first three fights.

But he's completely turned it around now and has wins over Hendricks, Gastelum and Lombard. I know he had a hiccup against Lorenz Larkin, but that aside - his record is pretty damn impressive for someone who didn't even win TUF.

Anyone else up there?

Brutal finish by Ricci too.

 

Tony Ferguson??

Edit: Did Ferguson win?

 

TJ Dillashaw was in the season Brandao won wasn't he?

It's gotta be Dillashaw for actually winning a title 

5

Koscheck is up there.

6

Bonnar maybe after Dillashaw.

Shit, just read the thread properly lol. My bad.

Tait Fletcher.  That guy was in the last 10 movies I saw.  I'm not even joking about it, that guy is in everything.  Just saw Ben Afleck blow his brains out in the Accountant. (Shitty movie.)  If there are mercs or tough guys in a movie or a show, Tait Fletcher is near by.  That guy is killing it.

Does Esparza count as winning TUF and a belt?

I mentioned Bonnar because of how important his first Griffin fight was and he is also in the UFC Hall of Fame.
