I think the weak UFC MW division is in need of a real contender. After the Silva/Franklin rematch there really isn't anyone on the horizon for a title shot. Martin Kampmann is the next obvious choice...no need for explanation. Terry Martin is prob next in line after him, but he is still a couple of solid fights away. He needs to be tested against a top tier fighter. A fight with Nathan Marquardt should prob happen. It would be a good way to see if Martin is worthy of a shot. Besides him who else is there? Marq and Okami have basically eliminated themselves from title shots for quite some time. Grove isn't near ready...enter Lawler. I think the UFC should have Lawler and Pete Sell fight at the TUF finals or on the Serra/Hughes undercard. Both are competing coaches (lawler on team hughes...sell on team serra). It makes perfect sense. Lawler wins and he is back in the UFC mix ans set to make a run at the title.

I guess you're on your own in finding out which competing UFC blog already has them posted. I take it that the philosophy here on dealing with the competition is to simply not allow the names of the competition to even be uttered. Freedom of speech Bush-style...ya gotta love it!

That would be great. [quote post="2910"]There are many fighters in ICON who desrve another shot in the UFC: Robbie Lawler, Renato "Charuto" Verissimo, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, etc. [/quote] I have seen quite a few Mayhem Miller fights. He is totally UFC worthy. He only had 1 UFC fight, and that was against GSP (coming off his loss to Hughes). It was an AWESOME Fight. Of course he lost to GSP, but it was a 3 round decison. Mayhem can take some serious punishment and keeps on coming. He was literally smiling as he got his head beat in. Plus he has PERSONALITY. Something that so many fighters these days are lacking. Plus, Mayhem holds victories over Lawler and Dennis Kang. [quote post="2910"]Hughes did some serious ground in pound against Royce Gracie's JJ. What makes you think that "Matt Serra" of all people is going to submit Hughes? Hughes will lay on himand wait for a decision? [/quote] C'mon now. Royce looked like a Brazilian Skeletor. I would hope that Serra has more power than Royce. I hope Nick Diaz magically appears halfway through episode 7 and one punch KO’s Lawler again. That would be great.

The welterweight winner of TUF 6 will come from Hughes' team. I say this not because Hughes is the Phil Jackson of MMA coaching, but rather the coach that Hughes is bringing in (Matt Pena) he has already coached young fighters on TUF with Jens Pulver and all of Jens' guys showed improvement with their hands, oh and coindicently, Nate Diaz won the whole thing. Regardless of Manny's injury during the fight, no 5' 5" guy is going to be a force in the UFC, so the better upside guy won.
