Well I mean't guys who have fought for the title, but didn't win. But I didn't specify that, so fair play. I'm still convinced Jorgensen will win the title XD

Haha in that case maybe Nate or Alves not too sure I can't remember all the title fights involving my favourites off my head lol.

Hopefully Jorgenson beats Faber I will be rooting for him in that one for sure it's a really tough fight for him tho.

Probably Hendo. He's done almost everything you could ever want to do in mma except win a ufc title.

I may come on the forum like old times for the Faber-Jorgensen event. Such a big fan of both dudes, but I am forever Jorgensens fan over anyone else lol XD

Thiago Alves seems to be very underrated these days. I still think he's right up there at ww. He seemed to have lost motivation after the GSP and Fitch losses, and got caught because of a ridiculous mistake against Kampmann.

ultimatefightingchamp · March 6

Dan Henderson

JEFFSTALLWOOD · March 6

Mine is Dan Henderson....Dan has done just about everything else & Winning that UFC championship title would be the icing on the cake before he retires! Dan is a Legend to the sport who always brings a fight before MMA into the cage!

ultimatefightingchamp · March 6

No really, my answer is Nate Diaz and Demian Maia

ultimatefightingchamp · March 6

I also like Gray Maynard a lot

DoomPatrol · March 6

Dan and Alves are good choices, but I think I would go for Carwin or Sanchez.

waikru · March 6

Dan Henderson

Agreed. Everyone seems to keep saying his striking is overrated, but who in the UFC has managed to outstrike him? GSP? There's no shame in getting out struck against GSP. Even then, Alves was landing the harder shots in that fight standing. Yet people seem to keep saying Ellenbergers striking is insane!? I seem to remember him getting smacked around on the feet really quite bad against John Howard and Alves destroyed him on the feet... IMO though, Alves should ditch Dolce and go back to being a walking tank and just work his TDD a lot again, he has the striking and the size will bring his finishing power back.

PoloRidah · March 6

Dan Henderson
Nate Diaz
Gray Maynard
Chael Sonnen

rodrodMMA92 · March 6

Hendo
Maia

Junglebird · March 6

so agree with this...I have said this for a long time...I knew Dolce was bad for Alves when he said "Alves lifts like a power lifter....that's not what he needs"....then goes to show Alves Deadlifting...i blew a gasket....I was like "you got to be kidding me"

What MMA guy who's worth his salt does not power lift in some way?...even skinny guys like condit even deadlifts

Dolce is a diet guy...stop telling people how to train thats not his job...je walks in on people training camps and was not there for all the other work that goes down when a fight is not on deck...he comes in a destroys training camps when he walks in a tells guys what they need to work on...and most of all when it goes against what got those guus there

You heard it here first...soon guys will start to say Dolce is not worth it

ultimatefightingchamp · March 6

Oh yeah I forgot my boy Chael

bartolini · March 6

Nick diaz. I will be cheering my **** of for him, but I don't see him winning. Gsp won't stand with him, and when it goes to the ground, I don't see diaz submitting him. I think gsp is too strong, anything diaz tries submission wise, gsp breaks out of.

Well I like Thiago Alves more than Koscheck for one thing, Thiago Silva hasn't had a UFC title fight, so that was stupid of you to mention, and I suppose you could say Jorgensen fought for the UFC title, but it was a WEC fight, that's why I didn't count it. If we do count that one though, then yeah, Jorgensen takes the gold.

I got a question, why are you always taking shots at me about Jorgensen, Koscheck and Silva? Seriously, have you got nothing better to do, than to try and insult me and take the piss about my favourite fighters all day? It's really lame and pathetic. Don't wanna sound like a ****, but it's so lame that you even started doing it on my facebook on status' and pictures where my friends comment and just wonder what the **** you're talking about. :-/
