TUF had like 160 fighters....how many are legit ?

ManhoefKOAnderson - Seasons 1-10 had like 160 fighters. Out of all those fighters, how many are actually legit top ranked fighters ? ? ?

Griffin, Rashad, Bisping, Florian, Jardine, Dazing, Stevenson, Diego Sanchez and Koshcheck. Thats all i got.


Well, let's see, Matt Serra did hold the welterweight title after his season on TUF. If you are going to count all the seasons, you have to include all the guys from Season 4, all of whom had at least a few wins in the UFC.

All fighters below are legit. May not be top of their weight class, but definatelly legit

Season 1

Bobby Southworth, Sam Hoger, Forrest Griffin, Alex Schoenauer
Stephan Bonnar, Mike Swick

Diego Sanchez, Josh Koscheck, Kenny Florian
Nathan Quarry, Chris Leben


Season 2

Joe Stevenson, Luke Cummo, Josh Burkman
Marcus Davis, Melvin Guillard

Keith Jardine, Seth Petruzelli, Rashad Evans, Brad Imes


Season 3

Kendall Grove, Kalib Starnes, Ed Herman

Michael Bisping, Matt Hamill


Season 4 - pretty much all of them


Season 5
Gray Maynard, Matt Wiman, Joe Lauzon, Rob Emerson

Nate Diaz, Manny Gamburyan, Cole Miller


Season 6

Mac Danzig, Jon Koppenhaver, Ben Saunders, George Sotiropoulos


Season 7

C.B. Dollaway, Matthew Riddle,
Tim Credeur, Amir Sadollah, Jesse Taylor, Matt Brown

Season 8 and on

other then the winners, maybe a bit too early to tell.

Quite a few legit fighters

Funny that Serra, who actually wore the strap at WW, isn't mentioned.

canuck34, It is funny. My guess is that is because people don't consider that season in the same way because of the veteran aspect.

I didnt include Serra because I would pretty much include the entire cast of Season 4

LMAO at the TUF noobs trying to expand the list!

who do you mean specifically?
