Holy shit, is this guy good. For anyone who is an MMA fan and hasn't been watching the current season of The Ultimate Fighter, you have to see this guy. He is a monster. 4 fights and he has sent at least 3 opponents to the hospital. He hasn't even won the tournament and even Chael Sonnen has said he's good enough to challenge for the title. What's even more impressive is this guy is as humble and respectable as they come. Also, to quote Dana White: "This kid is the nastiest, deadliest, meanest kid that we have ever seen in the history of TUF (The Ultimate Fighter)."Here are his 4 fights thus far: Fight #1 - Qualifier (skip to 49:30) Fight #2 - Knockout of the Year (skip to 27:46)Fight #3 - Quarter-finalsFight #4 - Semi-finals (skip to 22:44)I honestly don't see this guy losing in the final match, and even if he does, there's no doubt he will still get a contract offer from UFC.

He's explosive, for sure. Not sure about his potential, overall, because we haven't seen much of his other skills.

His standing strikes are phenomenal and the last fight, if you watched it, he showed that his ground game is good, as well. First, he got him in that Kimura within seconds of being taken down. Then, while he's in a full guard mounted position, he starts hitting the guy so hard, he was able to transition into a full mount. I've never seen anyone go from a full guard on the bottom to a full mount on the top.

In his lost tonight, he showed what deterred him in his first two career losses; he can be bullied. I did like his sweep into mount, but he looked frustrated, the moment he saw his opponent moving forward.
Huge potential, but clearly a bit over-hyped.

I DVR'd the show and I've only watched the first fight so far!! It's all good, though. I'll give my thoughts on the fight after I watch it.
