UFN 21 LD: Florian/Gomi and Nelson/Struve + Episode 1 TUF

Florian may be the best clear #2 fighter in the UFC. He seems to be better than anyone in the Lightweight division (I think he'd beat Sherk), but he is clearly behind BJ Penn.

Is there a better #2 fighter in a division that is so clearly not on the level of the champion?

I think Jon Fitch is in the same boat as Kenny in the Welterweight division. He dominates all of his opponents, but he got destroyed by GSP.

Well first off I would bring up Jon Fitch but I do agree that K-Flo is a little bit better in his role.

Second, I would love to see a rematch between K-Flo and Sherk. I think Florian would stand a much better chance at winning this time around but to be fair Sherk is obviously on the downside of his career. It would be a fight I would pay to see.
 
I missed it, my g/f was talking.

What are they doing with the preliminary fights? How are they getting from 28 initial fighters to the group who gets in the house?

I was wondering the exact same thing. 28 is going to leave a weird number unless they redesigned the bracket.
 
Dana White is getting fat.

I could see a situation where a certain few are guaranteed in, and others have to earn their way. I don't know know though.
 
:disappointed:

Man, I'm fucking bummed out @ the Gomi lost. Fuck, I don't even want to watch TUF, but I got it on.

And Dana announced at the beginning of the show that two losers (chosen by the coaches and Dana) from the prelims will get a chance to fight each other to make it into the house.

Gotcha...I figured it was said, but I just missed it because g/f was reading a letter to me.
